Top 10 little-known songs by well-known bands

The local classic rock station here in Philly "gets the led out" every day at 7pm. (As most classic rock fans know, just about every classic rock station in the country does the same.) I'm a big Zeppelin fan, but I get tired of the same ol' overplayed Zeppelin songs. How many times can one hear "Over the Hills and Far Away" and still enjoy it? The same can be said for other bands. "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Money" were nice the first 500 times, but they began to lose their effect on me by listen number 501. With this in mind, the following are some of the best little-known songs by well-known bands. These songs are obviously not unknown, but you'll wait a long time before you ever hear them on the radio.

1) Led Zeppelin "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" (honorable mentions "Friends," "You Shook Me" and "No Quarter")

2) Pink Floyd "Astronomy Domine," the Ummagumma version with Gilmour on guitar in place of Barrett (honorable mentions "Dogs," "The Nile Song" and "Echoes")

3) Queen "It's Late" (honorable mention "The Prophet's Song")

4) The Police "So Lonely" (honorable mention "Canary in a Coalmine")

5) Jimi Hendrix "Machine Gun" (I can't think of an honorable mention, unless you consider "Voodoo Child" little-known.)

6) The Who "Squeeze Box" (I know some radio stations play this somewhat regularly, i.e. 102.9 in Philly, but most never play it.)

7) The Beatles "Happiness is a Warm Gun" (hands down, the best Beatles song ever)

8)Styx "Suite Madame Blue" (honorable mention "Babe") No. Really. "Suite Madame Blue" is actually a good Styx song; one that could not have been sung by Barry Manilow.

9) Rush "Xanadu" (honorable mention "Red Barchetta")

10) Genesis "The Musical Box" (honorable mention "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe"). Most people think of Phil Collins' crap when they think of Genesis. Those people might be pleasantly surprised that Genesis was a completely different animal prior to 1975.
