70s-80s-90s pop crew ... help me

Got a $25 ITunes card, and my mission right now is to find songs which have been lost in time in the 70s-80s-90s pop era. Songs which are now hard to find. With apologies to some, a lot of hit songs, I can find on Limewire just fine. I'm looking for the more obscure.

Let 'er rip.

 

For the life of me, I cannot find two 80s songs by Steve Miller Band that I want:

Shangri-La
Italian X-Rays

 

Just checked ITunes search, and neither is on any album of theirs.

 

I'm Dreaming by Christopher Williams. Underrated New Jack mid-tempo song (on the New Jack City soundtrack, actually).

 

Good jazzy sound. Liked what I heard on sample.

 

Any particular genre?

A few really good full albums I can think of right off the top of my head:

Replacements -- "Let It Be"
Their best.

Robyn Hitchock -- "I Often Dreams of Trains" (you can ignore everything after song 14, which tacked-on stuff for a previous CD release, but it's cheaper to buy the whole thing) Also, "Black Snake Diamond Role."

Zero Boys -- "Vicious Circle" Great, great punk.

As far as individual songs, The Other Ones' "Another Girl, Another Planet," which was influential beyond its actual obscurity, and the Kings' "This Beat Goes On/Switchin' to Glide," which was sorta a hit in the States, and something you'll probably have to buy as two songs, even though it's really one.

 

No One Is To Blame ... great call (19 clean copies of it on LW ). Chasing it now. Seems like I heard some Robyn Hitchcock before...

 

Came out around 1982. I forget the name of the album, might have been Italian X-Rays.

I've found them on Lime Wire, but have never been able to download either successfully.

Another tune I wish I had isn't 70-80-90s, but Jimmie Rodgers' "Two-ten, Six-eighteen". The song reminds me of my father.

 

You can get a really nice live version of No One Is To Blame on iTunes. I bought it about six months ago.

And don't forget this classic:

 

John, you almost have to have the video on that to truly appreciate it.
