Have you ever heard an obscure song and thought "why the [expletive] haven't other people heard this"? A song that you've grown to appreciate so much that you wished it was a hit? I'd like to know if you have any.
As for me, I could name a few songs; but there's one song off the top of my head that immediately comes to mind, and that's "She Sheila" by The Producers. I'm a huge fan of 80's music, and it boggles my mind why this track is so under the radar.
Criminally underrated songs?

Re: Criminally underrated songs?
I'd go with some glam metal bands because they stopped getting radio airplay because of grunge and changing musical tastes I suppose. Skid Row's "Quicksand Jesus" could've been a bigger hit. That whole "Slave to the Grind" album is great. It debuted at #1 in mid 1991 but it was tough because grunge broke late that year.

Probably this song by Status Quo. To me, it's a killer track, and I have no idea on why it never became a big hit on this side of the pond. Then again, you could say the same thing about most of their songs in regards to radio play in North America. In fact, I don't think I've ever heard a Quo song on the radio here in Canada. Not even once, and that is a real shame.
Anyhoo, enough rambling on. Here's the song in question:

Re: Criminally underrated songs?
Sheila Sheila is a classic by The producers. I used to listen to that song all the time back in the early 80s. She, Sheilas in my head. I haven't thought of that in a long time, thanks for mentioning it.
