I have always loved the J. Geils Band song "Angel in Blue" off the Freeze Frame album.

There are so many. But it's easier for me to name bands whose songs were under-appreciated. One band in general that I always thought was under-appreciated (along with all their music) was Concrete Blonde. The whole album "Bloodletting" was just so well-produced, well-written, and all the tracks in that one are great straight through. I believe only "Joey" became a radio single and that was the weakest of the entire album. Johnette Napolitano deserves so much more recognition.

Barbara,
great question...I am going to chew on this and come back. I really want to think this through - based on music I listen to.

Edit Update: Wow! Glad I didn't miss this question - "That's Life" by Frank Sinatra (yeah I can hear all the boos coming from the crowd, as the thumbs down begin to roll out now! LOL!).
Edit Update #2: Additionally, consider Luciano Pavarotti "Nessun Dorma". It moves me in a special way every time I hear it. As does Andrea Bocelli's Con Te Partirò as sung with Sarah Brightman (the angel voice from Andrew Lloyd Weber's "Phantom of the Opera").
One last and I promise - Song Written by Ringo Starr (with George Harrison - 1973) "Photograph" it reached in the top 10 I think at that time; however, the performance of this song is what I am thinking of. Specifically, the "Tribute to George" as sung by Ringo before he introduced Paul McCartney.

My Sacrifice by Creed. It's been one of my favorite songs since I was about five or six. A few days ago, I listened to it for the first time in years and years, but I still remembered the chorus as if I had listened to it the day before . . .

"Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel
Honestly, this song is not my favorite. Yet, I admire its profoundness to its message. It is lyrical. Written like a poem. Just like a poem, its message is not apparent. If people would just scrutinize each stanza and relate them to issues of our society, it has got a lot to say about them.
Plus, who else can write a song as profound as this? I admire the talent of whoever wrote this song. He wrote not just because for the sake of having a song to sing or to hit the charts, but for a cause :p

The grunge explosion brought bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains to the fore-front, but there were some bands thrown into that genre that were grossly overlooked...like Screaming Trees. They were the more bluesy, southern rock side of it, and they never saw the commercial success that their peers did.
All of their stuff reflects this, but if I had to pick one track of theirs it would be "Dollar Bill".

Well, right now it is this not so well known band from England called the Twang. They have a song called "Either Way" that I stumbed across on someones myspace.

It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) - Bob Dylan
Definitely one of his best songs, but sadly not a popular one.
