Non hit studio songs you like more than the hit songs? :)
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. |

Some artists make a habit of not releasing their best songs as singles.
Billy Joel has to be the grand champion of this.

The Beatles didn't like to release singles off an album. They notably didn't release singles in England off With the Beatles, Beatles For Sale, Rubber Soul, Sgt Pepper, and the White Album (though the US would in their infinite wisdom). As far as Revolver goes, I prefer Here There and Everywhere and For No One over the Yellow Submarine/ Eleanor Rigby single (with all due respect to the latter)

It's possible. I think it depended on the band and how much clout they had. And the Beatles, through George Martin, had a lot of clout with Parlophone, even after their debut album. I do think the Stones had some albums independent of singles as well but I'm more familiar with the Beatles history, obviously.

In Muricah however you're damn right we want the hit singles to be on the album, this is why most early Beatles and Stones albums were altered so much when they were first released in the US, this practice mostly died out by the end of the 60s with some exceptions here and there.

Yeah, the American labels destroyed the intent of a lot of British albums in the sixties and it wasn't just the Beatles and Stones. They screwed up bands like the Kinks too. All in the name of making more money.

How Do You Feel from Jefferson Airplane's Surrealistic Pillow album is IMO the best song on the album (which says a lot) but it wasn't remotely a hit.
Threads like this would be more like a category of, "Albums where the best song wasn't a hit."
