Looks like no Slug love after Axver and I, solidfying it's complete underrated-ness.

i love Slug. It' a fantastic song but i don't think it would have been a wise choice as a single.

Mercy: Unreleased songs

 

[thesuburbskill]

never released in America

Bad
until the end of the world
a sort of homecoming
one tree hill
running to stand still
zooropa
40

for never released anywhere:

one tree hill & 40 would probably be replaced by
seconds & gone

 

[ShackDaddy41]

Do you guys really think songs like '40', Zooropa, Sort of Homecoming, Seconds, Heartland are worthy of release as singles?

I mean compared to Beautiful Day, WOWY, ISHFWILF, Vertigo, et al.

'40' has such high stature because it was the traditional closer for a long time and is a great audience song, but it's a few verses that don't rhyme over the same music. Hardly what would maintain a radio audience.

the point of the thread was to list your top 7 songs that were never released as singles... not your opinion of what should have been a single... at least i think that was what the OP was going for

Well I thought it was just favorite songs that weren't singles, not what should have been a single.
