All time best records/songs/lyrics you've never heard

Message Bookmarked

You love music but can't possibly hear it all, and there are records or songs or even lines of songs that you KNOW, just know you'll love . . . at some point, when you actually get around to hearing them. What are they?

Mine: I never actually heard the song, and can't even remember who it's by, but I remember reading about a rapper who promised to one-up a menage a trois with a quadruple a trois. Which is actually the all-time greatest lyric, but hey. (I originally posted that on the All-Time Stupidest Lyrics thread.)

There are so many albums I know I'd love, but have only heard certain tracks from. Al Green's Belle Album for starters. But that's quite a boring answer compared to yours. I think for individual songs, since the advent of p2p there aren't likely to be many unless, like you, I actually don't know who it's by.

I badly badly want to hear Artur Schnabel's Beethoven recordings.
They're meant to be like, da bomb.

On a similar tip,

Rosalyn Tureck - Bach's Well Tempered Clavier
Bruno Walter - Mahler's Das Lied
Anything by Tito Gobbi
Hildegard of Bingen

Millie's version of Nick Drake's "Mayfair." Sounds like my ideal in all kinds of ways.

I've never heard that really good Primus record that isn't annoying at all.

It's a source of some aggravation for me (as a Billboard chart geek) that there are two #1 hits of the rock era that I've never heard: "Lately" by Divine and "Love Theme From Romeo & Juliet" by Henry Mancini.

I'll probably never dive too deep into the world of soundtracks, despite recently falling in love with a few. There's just too much damn ground to cover, too many labels reissuing this stuff, too much effort required to separate the wheat from the chaff

so, that.

plus, on that note, scores of 20th century classical. Not enough hours in the day.
