List rarely-played album tracks that are better than the "hit single"

[begin_within]

For one example, I have nothing against the Stones' "Brown Sugar," but for my money, "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" along with "Wild Horses," "Bitch" and "Moonlight Mile" are far more interesting and listenable. David Bowie's "Changes" gets all the airplay, but the next 4 or 5 songs that follow it on "Hunky Dory" are far more interesting. Cat Stevens' "Wild World" is the one you always hear on the radio, yet the album is full of other, better songs. Other examples?

1. Anything and everything on Led Zeppelin IV except Stairway

I think that's a great album but I can't stand Stairway to Heaven.

2. Also "Rock and Roll" has been way, way overplayed, thanks to Chrysler.

6. Don't you mean Cadillac?

12. Agreed

Stairway is a decent song but I too got tired of it a long time ago.

3. "My Beautiful Reward" on Bruce Springsteen's CD

Lucky Town.

4. From "Relish" by Joan Osbourne: (of idiot 'God' song fame)

Pensacola
St.Theresa
Lumina
Ladder
Man in the Long Black Coat
Crazy Baby

one of the most solid albums I've ever heard, wrecked by that idiotic "One of us" song.

5. "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)" Beatles

B side of "Let It Be" :thumbsup:

OK it's not an album track, but it IS obscure.

11. Gonna Raise Hell is far better than Dream Police

on Cheap Trick's Dream Police album.

14. "High Fidelity" by Elvis Costello

and "All Down the Line" by the Rolling Stones. Great songs, little airplay.

15. Ritual de lo Habitual

by Jane's Addiction

Single- "been caught stealing" is ok, but "3 Days" is the real power track on that album and some of Stephen Perkins most amazing drumming......

17. "Heaven Is" by Def Leppard

I actually think everything by them is Great!

19. Jimi Hendrix

Anything on any album, other than the recognized "hits" such as Purple Haze and Hey Joe. It's disappointing not to hear a better selection of Hendrix songs on the Classic Rock stations.
