Songs that you think could have been hits,but....

[SunnyDRE]

Songs that you think could have been hits or all over the radio, but for whatever reason your fave artist never released it as a single or lack or promotion, exposure etc.

-------------------------

these songs should have been all over the radio.

"Locomotive" is one of GNR's most underrated songs.

[SunnyDRE]

The only band Nirvana was ever jealous of

Don't laugh, but I always thought Oh My God could have been a hit for axl, if he got out there and put his stamp on the song at the time he released it. It is probaly the 2nd or 3rd best song on a unbelievablely great soundtrack.

Personally, I like the song better then anything gnr has done since slash and duff left.

Good call.

[Jakey Styley]

Riad.

[Jackie Moon]

i think velvet revolvers the last fight was extremely underrated. great song.

[Bucketslash]

That was a single. I feel like that song was held back by 3 key factors:

1.the opening build should have hit something. it felt like it just wanted to go somewhere

2.the chorus and the bridge needed a bit more definitive lyrically. i wanted some kind of slight lyrical resolution. instead of the last fight, it's just the build up to the last fight

3/More solo needed. badly. This could've been loving the alien quality with a better solo

btw. why is weiland playing a piano in the video? i don't hear any piano in the song

Mr Bungle- "Retrovertigo"

Alice in Chains "God Am"

System Of A Down- "Holy Mountains"

[LightningBolt]

[highvoltage]

It was a hit over here.... Awful band though.

Seven is a great song.

[Graeme]

Could have been HUGE

[SunnyDRE]

Van Halen influences all over this song anyone?

Out "Interpol-ed' Interpol

The second verse definately has piano in it, but a lot of it is really turned down.

People may laugh, but I'm a big fan of Puddle Of Mudd, and their second album really bombed, despite having some really accessible tracks on it that weren't released.

Never would have been a hit, though.

I totally love that song. I could definitely see it as a hit.

[KBear]

Velvet Revolver

Loving the Alien

You Got No Right

Not sure they would have been hits, I think the potential was there, but nevertheless IMO they are the two best songs on Contraband.

[Getizzyback]

2 of my favorite bands ever playing 2 songs that could have been radio songs if they came out 5-6 years earlier.......

Every single song off Big Star's first record, im being serious, i honestly believe evry song could/should have been a hit, except maybe the india song.
