Right, here is the new thing. An occasional series shining a little light on some forgotten, undiscovered or criminally undervalued piece of music. Hell maybe it could be a former number one smash hit but we feel it needs a revisit.
As ever, we want you to get involved. Reply to the blog with your suggestions and a brief line on why your tune needs more attention or alternatively email atl@bbc.co.uk - hollah back!
