Songs that I can't believe were never released as singles

[mickill]

And Your Bird Can Sing - The Beatles
Sweet Jane - Velvet Underground
Death Or Glory - The Clash
When You Were Mine - Prince
Where Is My Mind - Pixies

Not just because they're great songs, but I just grew up thinking most of these were released as singles at one point or another.

[Kid Presentable]

Grasshopper Unit/Putting Shame in your game/The Move; especially when you consider the ones that did become singles off that album.
There's others, I'm sure.

New York State of Mind
50 Million Year trip (unless it was)

[abcdefz]

A bunch of Zeppelin stuff, obviously.

[hpdrifter]

Woah, I also assumed most of those were released as singles. I can't think of any more right now.

a certain romance - arctic monkeys


(y)

although its kind of a follow on from "sun goes down" imo so maybe they thought it too similar to release.

they should have released "505" as well

[Guy Incognito]

damned right about "505" (y) or even "riot van" or "bigger boys and stolen sweethearts"

dunno about riot van. thats a great part of that album, but i dont think it would make sense as a single. Its better than this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGV8xCkpXjE). Not keen at all.

I think this thread is more about songs that became popular or heavily linked with a band or a time period without being released as singles.

Not so much songs that should have been released as singles.

But its mikey's thread so I defer.

Keith Murray - Hot To Def

[EarlsJims]

Nothing was released from Sgt Pepper or the White Album.

Songs that could have been singles from those CD's:

With A Little Help From My Friends
A Day In The Life
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
Getting Better

Birthday
Back In The USSR
While My Guitar Gently Weeps

[abcdefz]

Technically, one song from The Beatles was issued as a single (in America); "Helter Skelter" wound up on a B-side in the 70's
when Rock and Roll Music (Vol. 1?) came out.

[MC Moot]

Beasties "And Then I"...(y)
