Non hit studio songs you like more than the hit songs? 😃 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I actually like Out Ta Get Me and Nighttrain from Guns N'Roses Appetite For Destruction than the hit song Paradise City. 😃 I thought Paradise City was the best Guns N'Roses song until I heard better songs from them. Paradise City is good but it's definitely not the best Guns N'Roses song.

I enjoy Perfect Crime from Use Your Illusion Part 1 more than the hit song November Rain. 😃 How Perfect Crime didn't become a huge hit is beyond me.

"Won't Get Fooled Again" was a hit single from the Who's Who's Next but I like the Who's Next track "My Wife" better.

I have way too many favorites to name. This song however was the first one that came to my mind. It never went to radio, but in my opinion, it should've been the top priority compared to the song that was chosen for radio from this greatest hits package.

God bless you and the remaining members of the act always!!!

I have a collection of 45 RPM records from the 1970's, and occasionally there is a record where the B side/non hit side is better than the hit side.

One example I can think of is the original 45 RPM issue of "Fox On The Run", by Sweet. Fox On The Run was the hit, it's a good song, but the B side/non hit side, titled "Burn On The Flame", is even better.

I like Chubby Checker's "Spread Joy" (1963) which I believe was considered the b-side of the 45 with his hit "Hey, Bobba Needle."

I like Bob Dylan's "Jokerman" a lot from 1983, not certain that qualifies. It didn't chart, but sometimes it's among the hits.

You hear that sort of thing in a lot of places. That's not my milieu. Rock and roll is good-time music. I love rock. So did my parents.
