Favorite never officially relased songs

Many songs that don't make it on the album they're recorded for ended up on compilations or soundtracks or single b-sides. Some never did though, despite being quite good. Let's give some love to songs that never got an official release in any form.

These past few weeks I've been obsessed with Buried Alive by Aerosmith, outtake from the PUMP sessions. Awesome songs; the only reason I can think of why it wouldn't make it on the album is because it sounds so much like Voodoo Medicine Man.

Well, I thought the point was to give some love to some songs that never got an official release in any form.

I've been a huge Beck fan for almost 20 years and he's played a shitload of awesome stuff that never got released. He's so prolific that most of it was lost to time, which is a real shame. Some of my all-time favorites were songs that were only played live, like "Spirits" and "Static" (the original Static, not the one that was on Mutations.)

I also love the band Belle & Sebastian and they had this lovely song called "Rhoda" that was never released anywhere.

Pearl Jam have also done so many awesome improvs over the years, but those aren't really songs. But there's TONS of unheard studio shit in their vault. And unlike Axl's vault, theirs is real.

Sappy was officially released in 1993.

i know, but the topic is about Many songs that don't make it on the album they're recorded for ended up on compilations or soundtracks or single b-sides.

that's exactly what happened to sappy.

Neil Young has whole back catalogues of unreleased albums. Try these songs..

- Bad Fog of Loneliness (still unreleased in studio form).
- Winterlong (which did come out on Decade)

There are simply too many to name. He was playing two new unreleased songs on his last European tour in fact (whether they see light of day officially is anyone's guess?). Dylan's similar - NB the Basement Tapes.

The Beatles - Not Guilty
- White album outake which did not get an official release until the Anthology 3. The Beatles spent circa 100 takes - more than any other of their songs - and finally had it in the bag. (George did release a solo version in the '70s). This song is a masterpiece. It is all funky with a nagging guitar riff and a, typically droll, Harrison lyric. Vastly superior to Ob La Di Ob La Da.

Guns N' Roses - Ain't Going Down
- I like all of GN'R's outakes but this is probably the best. I think any of them (certainly this, Crash Diet and Bring it Back Home) could have ousted one or two of the weaker Illusion songs. I actually play them quite frequently.

You could also mentiom the aborted 'Lifehouse tracks', stuff like Water and Pure and Easy.

There were Churck tracks from his classic era that were still being released for the first time on 1970s bootlegs. Check out..

- House of Blue Lights
- Do You Love Me
- I've Changed

As I said, all recordings from Chuck's 1950s Chess 'golden age' that were mysteriously canned. All superb also (some of them now even make it onto modern day greatest hits cds!).

There is also a heap of stuff leftover from Elvis's Sun sessions.

PS

We cannot judge its qualities as so few have heard the thing, but surely the holy grail of unreleased recordings is Lennon and McCartney's Carnival of Light soundtrack. It was going to come out on Anthology 2 but apparently Harrison vetoed the thing. Paul has the only remaining copy.

Yes! I'm more interested in Carnival of Light than any unreleased GN'R songs.

Does the GNR Pinball Machine count? because it was on that.

Weren't that Em'/50/Busta one released then, i'm sure it was, during the whole Ja beef thing, on a mix tape or something?

'Yo assasin, gimme one of them tracks where i can just ride on motherfuckers, these N***** talkin' bout we can't rap?!?! They must not've heard no motherfuckin' track off of Death Row'

One thing i love about Tupac was that he never ever let anything go, any little comment, any little mention of his name, any fuckin' anything and he would address it, even things that he often would probably looked better off not addressing, like the east coasts notion that they were better rappers (i.e. MCs) but he fuckin' did it anyway and, give him credit, he holds his end up respectably.

THIS is how the song All Out should've sounded, not that tinny crap off of Better Dayz.

Sorry but that is SOOOO fuckin' hardcore, just tellin' em…and people wonder why he was the greatest, he was so bad he made the Outlawz shine on every track too.

"we screamin' Death Row from the West side, ain't no thang, we was raised on drive bys, bought up to bang'

And every other rapper falls by the wayside :)

I honestly couldn't remember. I'm sure it's on some mixtape somewhere.

I don't think this one has ever been on anything:

Eminem/50 Cent/Dr. Dre/Jay-Z /Stat Quo/Cashis - Syllables http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYnbpyi3UK4

Pac has so much unreleased stuff it's ridiculous. Those underground Makaveli albums are a holy grail (before the soft remixes)

Pac's Life http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCvExQKfDwI

Real Bad Boy Killaz ft.Assassin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uk0P3SZjo8

Changed Man ft. Nate Dogg, Syke http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Etg9jKUbsS0

He vs. She ft.Storm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnw2QaGGZBk

"Now when I say pig you say b-i-g, when I say bad boy killa then you say me

When I say Puffy is a punk you scream word on my life, I wrote this shit while fuckin Big's wife"
