I have been playing music for and with others, either informally or for actual compensation, for a long time--though I have gained little fame, and had none of what one might call success, I have played a lot of songs, often to good effect. But there have been songs that no one seemed to ever like but me.

I have always, for instance, been fond of "The Jam on Gerry's Rocks", which never seems to get much response from anyone. "The Unquiet Grave", unaccountably, never draws much response, and among more contemporary things, "Mad About the Boy" is generally ignored, as are "There's a Small Hotel" and "I Cover the Waterfront"

As a general rule, of course, when songs don't get much response, I leave them off my set lists(even songs that I have written myself, such as "Stick it in your Ear, Uncle Fud", and "I'm OK, You're OK, and he's not to Bad") but they are songs that I like, and would like to perform--

With that in mind, I am curious about songs that the rest of you like, but have not had much luck with.
