Lunchtime Poll: Long Lost Tracks, Found

4/16/07, 11:39 am EST

Nick Drake

On June 20th an album called Family Tree – featuring a handful of never-before-heard Nick Drake tracks – will be released. The news got us fantasizing about who else might have secret, never-before-heard material stowed away in the attics of their respective family homes, which inspired us to set up the following situation: Long-lost tracks few even knew existed, recorded by your favorite deceased artist, get found in the bottom of someone’s sock drawer or whatever. Who is this artist? What are the titles of the found songs? And during what period, under what circumstance were they recorded?

Layne Stahley from Alice in Chains. His song titles would include “Would?”, “Rooster”, and “Down in a Hole”. All different mixes of these would have been recorded in the early 90’s.This would have been a time in Layne’s life when he was getting all of his pain out. RIP Layne….u are missed deeply

im certain the doors have some never before seen tracks…they would of course all be forgotten about because they were recorded in a drunken state.

I agree My Bloody Valentine their whole rareties/outatke catalogue

The songs Motley Crue where recording with john Corobi for their second album with him. The bob Rock sessions for the album. “the year I lived in a day” and “La vida el Duce”. The whole album was diched along with Bob Rock, later Vince came back and they made Generation Swine the most disappointing album from the CRUE!!

I’d love to hear all of Zeppelin’s alternate takes and studio jams.

It looks like we’re going to get some unreleased Neil Young/Rick James tracks this year on the Neil Young box set.

if somehow they were recordings of all the stuff Gram Parsons and Keith Richards did together that would be sweet.

Since we’re talking about socks, how about a live Chili Peppers album recorded while they were wearing nothing but one of them?

Evan | 4/17/2007, 3:38 am EST

The album the Beatles could’ve recorded before they broke up using unreleased songs they wrote which eventually ended up on each band member’s respective solo albums

robbiek | 4/17/2007, 1:15 am EST

legend has it that lynyrd skynyrd was aiming to record a double album before the crash. if only…

RockGod | 4/16/2007, 10:53 pm EST

rough cut edits and outtakes from Appetite for Destruction

Boatman | 4/16/2007, 10:09 pm EST

Steely Dan’s ‘The Day You Were Blind’ which the engineer accidentally erased during Gaucho sessions.

There’s probably a lot of stuff I’d like to hear from a pile of artists, but no one special in particular. Nirvana, Doors, anything Elvis, Arthur Lee/Love, maybe some Zeppelin or Hendrix. Anything from 1950’s especially, and if My Bloody Valentine ever did an alternate version of Loveless, that would be worth a listen.

charliemapleton | 4/16/2007, 6:45 pm EST

Whatever happened to that Green Day/Bone Thugs collabo from 1995,1996?

Michael Jackson | 4/16/2007, 6:40 pm EST

My chimp Bubbles can rap like a motherfu*ker! I recorded him one night when I was whacked on Jesus Juice! The chimp can straight up bring it.
I’m gonna release that session in iTunes. We gonna call it “Munkee Biznez”

I’ve heard that the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson have mountains of demos and songs that were recorded between 1966-1976. That would be interesting to hear.

Mr Biggles | 4/16/2007, 3:39 pm EST

the la’s

Jame | 4/16/2007, 3:16 pm EST

A Tribute to The Beach Boys by Keith Moon. Keith Moon always loved the california surf rock crave. Seeing his spin on Barbara Ann is hilarious and I would love to hear him try more of their songs.

DrJ | 4/16/2007, 2:53 pm EST

The legendary Miles Davis/Jimi Hendrix session.

John | 4/16/2007, 2:26 pm EST

eh, i think i might have missed the point of the question before posting.

John | 4/16/2007, 2:25 pm EST

There’s that psychadelic jam the Beatles did that almost made it onto Anthology 2 or 3, Carnival of Light or something like that. More importantly, however, what about the rest of The Basement Tapes that never made it onto the official release?

Anon | 4/16/2007, 1:44 pm EST

Elliott Smith’s Dreamworks/XO and later, output. Especially “See You In Heaven” with vocals… And the Jon Brion sessions he did…

killyridols | 4/16/2007, 1:33 pm EST

Eddie Cochrane, or Buddy Holly.

Oddjob | 4/16/2007, 1:24 pm EST

The 27-minute version of “Helter Skelter”, for one; John Lennon’s original demo of “Good Night” (as described in Geoff Emerick’s book ‘Here, There and Everywhere’); and maybe some studio demos of unreleased Lennon songs- sounding better than the poor-quality home demos bootleggers have had for years.

ooh, ooh, ooh! Tupac

john peel sessions- nick drake if they could EVER be recovered

Live Free or Die | 4/16/2007, 12:30 pm EST

NICO (from the velvets) has a whole album of children songs and titled it give your child heroin like me.

jandek | 4/16/2007, 12:04 pm EST

nick drake will always be My favorite artist of all time

charliemapleton | 4/16/2007, 12:03 pm EST

Two or three years ago,the late great Miss Aaliyah Dana Haughton relased this one track where she did an interpolation of Lisa Stansfield’s “Been Around The World” in the chorus.It was supposed to come from one of two separate albums that was supposed to be released during whichever year.Can’t remember the track nor did I know when the album was supposed to be relased sadly.It’s just mysterious.

craigers | 4/16/2007, 11:48 am EST

The Milli Vanilli double-album about space chimps that go to Mars to fight martians would be awesome to finally hear.

Sanchez | 4/16/2007, 11:47 am EST

Some Fresh Buckey and Elliott Smith would always be welcomed.
