I take that as a no then?

BTW SIYL was a single do you mean STRTJ

I meant the version of the song off the SIYL single. Speed Kills is the B-side.

DIdnt wanna be confrontational, but cant you go down your list of albums and pretty much pick a great song or two off of every single album that wasnt a single?

Yes and then you got some shitty ones too. I'd want to know if I ever wanted to get into a certain band and wouldn't want to be put off by the songs that were bad.

Jimmy Eat World - Just Tonight... off Futures

Best song on that album, ridiculously fun and catchy, would've been a big single.


Also:
Smashing Pumpkins - Age of Innocence
Third Eye Blind - ANYTHING off their debut album that wasn't a single.
Arctic Monkeys - 505

How To Disappear Completely - Kid A - Radiohead

That has always been my favorite song off of Kid A and I am so happy they did not release it as a single. It's almost too pretty to be on the radio, as it would no doubt be shoved between Nickelback and some latter day Chili Peppers song.

Slide Away - Definitely Maybe - Oasis

I was never a big fan of theirs but that's a good one. I also have had a soft spot for "Acquiesce" since I saw it live years ago, despite the admittedly cheesy lyrics.

Off the top of my head:

Wilco - Jesus, etc.
Yo La Tengo - Season of the Shark
Sleater-Kinney - Turn It On
Rolling Stones - Dead Flowers
Arcade Fire - The Woodlands National Anthem
Bob Dylan - You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

The album begins on track 13, following 12 tracks of silence. Justin, a boy from Long Beach, New York, made a dying wish to meet Korn, and through the Make a Wish Foundation, was able to do so. The band, surprised at him wanting to meet them and touched by his strength, wrote the song "Justin" as tribute. The first 12 tracks on the CD, which are 5 seconds each, form a minute of silence for Justin[citation needed].<dasfd>
