There once was a time when you would put an album on and listen to the very end, waiting, wondering if there was a hidden track. Sometimes these little gems were an added bonus and, unless a friend told you or you heard about it on the radio, could be quite a nice surprise (well, unless it was Ash’s 1977 where the hidden track features band members vomiting.)
I was recently talking with a friend who said that hidden tracks were going extinct. Are they? When was the last time you heard an album with a hidden track?
If they are, in fact, a dying art, we should compile a list of memorable and great hidden tracks to share. Which ones do you think should make the cut?
