Official Alvin Wilson great forgotten tunes thread

[atomic charvel guy]

Alvin has inspired me to create a thread for great tunes that have been forgotten or never heard. Being the youngest of 8 kids, and being 44 years old now, I've got so many I could put up, but I'll lead off with
BTO's -Sledgehammer. Randy Bachman always reminded me of a hard rock Randy Newman-lol
Song rocks, so does Randy!!!
put up any great tune you like. Funk, Disco, Blues, all welcome of course too!!

Being the gambling degenerate I naturally am, this song will always hold a special place for me as I spent many days at Belmont, Santa Anita, and Los Alamitos racetracks handicapping the ponies-lol Del Mar track too.
This thread could show you guys why I'm so fukked up-lol
Guys and Dolls-Got the Horse right here-

* great thread for some -gasp- non metal

[VitaminG]

this band certainly hasn't been forgotten over here, but may have been missed by anyone outside Oz. This band is an Oz Rock Icon: Cold Chisel - Bow River

ps. I'm sure I'll cop some stick from my fellow Aussies who don't like the band, but I've been on a Chisel kick lately so fuggems!

[Snoogans]

I'm gonna keep pimping this lot until they get the love they deserve.
(Or until a mod asks me to stop...)

really the whole Tumbleweed Connection album. I think it's Elton's best work and definitely one of the best rock albums I've ever heard.

Being born in Kentucky and growing up there and in Tennessee, I was raised on country music. This was one of my Dad's favorite songs:

Jerry Reed - "When You're Hot, You're Hot"

Nice pick, ever hear Jeff Buckley's version? It's the best.

[Musician78]

I don't know about forgotten but certainly underrated... at least in the U.S.

Awesome even though it screams 1983.

[atomic charvel guy]

the God of Rhythm made 3 awesome picks. and Jayster, the Cure has some great tunes.
If a song is good, then a song is good, I don't give a fukk if it's "Metal" or not.

here's one of the best David Bowie Tunes ever, if you don't like it, you may be a communist.
