April 5, 20241 yr This one comes to mind: 6c1BThu95d8 I know they've had several classics and psychedelia proved to not quite be their thing, but this one is so beautifully composed and unlike anything else by them, a hidden gem x
April 5, 20241 yr My top 3 Beatles songs are all album tracks! 01. Here Comes The Sun 02. Tomorrow Never Knows 03. Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
April 5, 20241 yr vY9g-PgSiGA This was the first thing that came to mind. It's close between this and Made of Stone for my favourite of theirs but I think the album closer just edges it for me.

The 1975 - I Couldn't Be More in Love 10. The 1975 - I Think There's Something You Should Know Just one from each artist: 1. The 1975 - I Like America & America Likes Me 2.

April 6, 20241 yr Loads but this came to mind from hearing it one of my parents' Cranberries albums when I was younger vovVgQ2BsTo Edited April 6, 20241 yr by TheSnake
April 6, 20241 yr Same approach as WhoOdyssey, my top 10 most played non-singles (and then top 10 without any repeat artists) - though a couple of these were / may qualify as promotional singles. I've disqualified anything that was a single in another territory even if it wasn't here (e.g. The Kid LAROI - NEED YOU MOST (So Sick) was sent to Australian radio as a single but not anywhere else) 01 812 Ulrik Munther - Heroes in Defeat (Change Your Mind) 02 518 Justin Bieber - Love Me 03 433 Greyson Chance - Running Away 04 357 Ulrik Munther - Thousand Years 05 329 Lucie Silvas - Roots (293 of these are from a version released as a free download years before the album version, but it was never an actual single) 06 309 Kate Nash - Paris 07 296 Greyson Chance - Light Up the Dark 08 285 Greyson Chance - Summertrain 09 277 The Kid LAROI feat. Mustard - STILL CHOSE YOU 10 275 Taylor Swift - Enchanted (204 from the original, 71 from Taylor's Version, neither were a single) 01 812 Ulrik Munther - Heroes in Defeat (Change Your Mind) 02 518 Justin Bieber - Love Me 03 433 Greyson Chance - Running Away 04 329 Lucie Silvas - Roots 05 309 Kate Nash - Paris 06 277 The Kid LAROI feat. Mustard - STILL CHOSE YOU 07 275 Taylor Swift - Enchanted 08 259 Dua Lipa & BLACKPINK - Kiss and Make Up 09 217 Cody Simpson - Don't Cry Your Heart Out 10 204 S Club - Let Me Sleep Not many of these are what I'd consider my favourite by their respective artists, though - some are just from albums that really defined certain periods of my life...! Heroes in Defeat is easily my favourite Ulrik song though, and one of my favourites of all time. Running Away, Light Up the Dark and Summertrain are all contenders for Greyson (though his first album feels like a different artist to the music he makes nowadays so it's difficult to compare), Enchanted is my favourite Taylor song, and Let Me Sleep is in my S Club top 5 quite possibly - high praise when they have such iconic singles too. Kiss and Make Up is rivalled only by Levitating for my favourite Dua song these days, and Love Me is my favourite "early Bieber" song - but Anyone and As Long As You Love Me are superior overall (and STAY obv x). Paris is a Kate fave but nothing beats Foundations. I'm shocked at the Cody choice, it's not even my favourite non-single from his first EP - Round of Applause is just a few plays behind (but neither are as good as some of his singles anyway, and I'd say his best non-single is Be the One). Not quite reflected in my lists above as they only cover late 2010 onwards is Avril Lavigne's Innocence, which is my favourite song by her. It's always struck a chord with me for some reason, such a beautiful song and I adore how her voice sounds on it.
April 6, 20241 yr @dandy, wasnt I am the Resurrection a single? I think I bought it? :D some fav of mine Damien Rice - I Remember Phoebe Bridgers - Chinese satellite Bon Iver - re:stacks Tori Amos - Gold Dust Cranberries - Dreaming my dreams Pixies - Gouge away Alanis Morrissette - Forgiven Oasis - Don't go away Blur - This is a low Pulp - Underwear David Gray - Nightblindness
April 6, 20241 yr vY9g-PgSiGA This was the first thing that came to mind. It's close between this and Made of Stone for my favourite of theirs but I think the album closer just edges it for me. Aren't we looking at songs that weren't singles?
April 6, 20241 yr I mean, I Wanna be Adored and I Am the Resurrection were not singles originally back in 89/90 when they broke through but much later in like 92 or something
April 6, 20241 yr Also I may have completely misunderstood the thread but aren’t we trying to find instances where your favourite song by an act isn’t a single of theirs… as opposed to just songs people like that weren’t singles.
April 6, 20241 yr Also I may have completely misunderstood the thread but aren’t we trying to find instances where your favourite song by an act isn’t a single of theirs… as opposed to just songs people like that weren’t singles. That was my understanding.
April 6, 20241 yr If sticking to acts where my favourite song of theirs wasn't a single, here are a few: Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) The Beatles - And Your Bird Can Sing Portishead - Roads Stereophonics - Same Size Feet
April 6, 20241 yr Re- The Stone Roses, dandy* is sort of right. It was not a single during any promotional phase for the album but was released 3 years later as a cash in by Silvertone Records, with whom they'd broken all ties. The UK releases of I Wanna Be Adored and Waterfall were also both not sanctioned by the band. Edited April 6, 20241 yr by Severin
April 6, 20241 yr There's load but I'll stick with the real faves - Bowie - Five Years Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Pixies - Where is My Mind? Slayer - Angel of Death Killing Joke - Pssyche Nine Inch Nails - Last Joy Division - She's Lost Control Dead Kennedys - Police Truck Led Zeppelin - Heartbreaker Manic Street Preachers - 4st 7lb Oasis - Rock N Roll Star Jesus & Mary Chain - Cherry Came Too Siouxsie & The Banshees - Nightshift The Cure - 100 Years Talking Heads - Heaven
