I was thinking of starting a similar topic to this one actually.

I think Still Remains and Silvergun Superman both could have made excellent singles. Sin could have been a minor radio hit. Glide would have been a much better choice than No Way Out.

yeah i agree with Coma also i think Black Again is a pretty groovy song, might have sounded good radio, maybe not a hit but.

ive played Silvergun Superman to people and they havent liked it, i guess cos they dont get it.

I agree with "Still Remains" but I'm not convinced about the others.

For me, the obvious sure-fire hit is "You Can't Drive Me Away". A certainty...and our boys didn't even release it...go figure!

I mentioned this in another thread, Art School Girl would have been viewed as a novelty song. Good for one hit wonders. Bad for a band with two multi platinum albums. As much as I enjoy the song, it would be a terrible pick for a single.

It's hard to pick one of their non-singles that would have crossover appeal. If it came down to it, I would have to go with Still Remains.

Heaven and Hotrods!! ;D I LOVE that song!

I would've said that too, but the production on it wasn't very good which doesn't make for good radio. Actually, I think this of much of the No. 4 album (which ironically might be my favorite album). All you have to do is listen to D&B and then Down (or H&H for that matter) back to back and you'll hear the awful, muffled recording of No. 4.

I'd love to hear No. 4 remastered without the quilt over the mics....

Glide would have been a hit on radio.

As much as I like "still remains"....i don't know where it would fit in on the radio....it's not really rock or pop....its just a really beautiful yet trippy song....I think "You can't drive me away" would have been a huge radio hit...

That's why it would have been a hit I think. It's not really defined to a certain genre. That's how most hit songs gain a crossover appeal.

i'm not so sure about still remains or most of the others.  Also, i believe Atlanta is one of their more overrated songs, not underrated.  I'm not a huge Doors fan (they're ok to me) or a huge Sound of Music's My Favorite Things fan which is what this song basically combines.  This is a tough question because basically they've picked the best singles already for the most part.  Some possibilities are Dead and Bloated, Unglued, Seven Caged Tigers, Heaven and Hot Rods, I Got You (not a huge fan of the song, but it would be a catchy radio thing), Dumb Love, Coma, and I don't know the rest of Shangri well enough to pick any more from that.

Unglued wasn't a radio single? I hear it on the radio often here in San Diego. Was it a promo release or something.
