30 Songs You've Never Heard by Artists You Have Heard

Here's songs you've probably never heard from pretty popular bands. Why haven't you heard them? I don't know. They're friggin' awesome, but most are the last track on the album or the only track that didn't get played on the radio or a track from the B-Side of an obscure rarity collection.

1. Big Ten Inch Record - Aerosmith
You'll like this one if you like more blues-y Aerosmith music.

2. A Single Second - AFI
Classic punk music, not the goth rock stuff of recent times. Like The Misfits? Try this song.

3. Top of the World - All-American Rejects
Far better than the All-American Rejects songs that recieve ridiculous amounts of radio play. Sounds like the All-American Rejects actually attempting to sound good rather than radio friendly.

4. Tomorrow Never Knows - The Beatles
John Lennon was embarrassed by this song due to it's spiritual connotations. Little did he know that he was on the verge of becoming the world's biggest hippie. Sounds like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and a sitar having sex backwards.

5. Satan is My Motor - Cake
The already somewhat underground Cake had trouble getting this on the radio due to the title and the chorus. You may have seen it listed as "Motor." Sounds like the definition of alternative rock.

6. The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat) - The Doors
Robby Kreiger's songs always got the spotlight, which is sad since Jim Morrison was a far better lyricist and poet. Sounds like awesome poetry set to bluesy music.

7. Psychopsilocybin - Incubus
Much like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus was once a funk rock band before becoming Gods of alternative rock. Sounds like pre-Blood Sugar Sex Magik Red Hot Chili Peppers.

8. Let's Get it On - Jack Black
This cover of Marvin Gaye's hit can only be found on the soundtrack to the movie High Fidelity, which is a shame since it's awesome. Sounds like a more soulful version of the original, if that's even possible.

9. Cookie Jar - Jack Johnson
You'll like this if you like anything else by Jack Johnson. It's laid back and awesome.

10. Tom Cruise Crazy - Jonathan Coulton
Played Portal? Remember that awesome song at the end? That was Jonathan Coulton. This song sounds like hysterical awesomeness.

11. Angel with the Scabbed Wings - Marilyn Manson
This sounds a lot more like Skinny Puppy than other Marilyn Manson music. Except it has a discernible beat. So that's nice.

12. Washington is Next! - Megadeth
Constantly fighting with Kevin Federline and Axl Rose for the title of "World's Biggest Douchebag" isn't an easy job for Dave Mustaine, so do him a favor and check out this awesome track from the newest Megadeth album. It's reminiscent of classic 80s metal like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.

13. Some Kinda Hate - The Misfits
I don't know why you haven't heard this song, but even if you don't like The Misfits particularly, you'll like this song if you're remotely interested in punk rock.

14. Burn - Nine Inch Nails
This song originally only appeared on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack, an Oliver Stone film that lots of crazy people love. The song's a bit heavier than mainstream Nine Inch Nails, but it's way better than anything you've probably heard.

15. And All That Could Have Been - Nine Inch Nails
You can find this song on the second disc of a live Nine Inch Nails album. In other words, you probably can't find this song. But it's friggin' incredible. Listen to it, and you'll be filled with all sorts of emotions.

16. Love Buzz - Nirvana
Why the hell haven't you checked out the pre-Nevermind Nirvana album, Bleach? It's great! Love Buzz has got one of the coolest bass riffs, too.

17. Swap Meet - Nirvana
Have you still not listened to Bleach? Go do it because every song on it is almost as awesome as "Swap Meet."

18. There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of it Yet - Panic! At the Disco
Don't write off Panic! At the Disco without hearing this song. It's like jazzy pop rock.

19. Man (Opposable Thumb) - The Presidents of the United States of America
Remember ""Peaches," that song about peaches? Well here's an equally catchy song by PUSA about thumbs.

20. Twig - The Preisdents of the United States of America
This one gets my approval for it's thoroughly awesome guitar throughout.

21. Quixoticelixer - Red Hot Chili Peppers
This bonus track from the special edition of Californication is quite possibly the most epic alt-rcok song ever.

22. Like the Angel - Rise Against
Since it was a single from their first album, which it seems no one bought, this really cool modern punk song seems to have gotten overlooked.

23. Stumbleine - The Smashing Pumpkins
This quiet little acoustic number from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness should definitely not be missed.

24. Asleep - The Smiths
Any hardcore Smiths fan probably has heard every track they've ever produced, but I'm guessing most haven't heard this one since it was only released on a few rarity collections. Check it out even if you don't like the Smiths, because it's amazing.

25. Under My Voodoo - Sublime
This song has kickass guitar. Enough said.

26. Roulette - System of a Down
If you're used to hearing stuff like "Bounce" or "Chop Suey" from System of a Down, this soft acoustic song may throw you off. That isn't to say you won't like it, though.

27. Swamp Song - Tool
Since you've probably heard "Stinkfist" a whole lot, you should check out this song from Tool's first full length album.

28. Ticks & Leeches - Tool
I'm going to make a bold statement and say that this song is one of the best drum songs on earth. It will make Neil Peart's head fall off. Maybe.

29. Saint Dominic's Preview - Van Morrison
This song is way better than "Brown Eyed Girl," which is probably the only song you've heard by Van Morrison. That's too bad, because he's way better than most people expect.

30. Pink Triangle - Weezer
A sweet and funny song about falling in love with a lesbian. Listen to it.
