    Singles That Weren't Top 40 Pop Hits On Bilboard But Should Have Been





    It is difficult for any decent person to sit back and not comment on the anti-Semitism,racism ,sexism ,and all-around ignorance espoused on the majority of DA's posts,it's fucking sad when one gets a warning for simply being a decent person.

    Yeah, but did it make the top 40? I honestly don't know for sure.

    Billboard is not as ridiculous and out right evil as Rolling Stone but similar irrelevant to what is real and what is good.

    I mean come on, how many Billboard and Rolling Stone readers are familiar with these masterpieces of fusion.

    The great Michael Walden who performed on the original with John McLaughlin hitting the skins!



    Eternity's Breath studio! It's psychedelic baby. That's where it's at.

    I'm pretty sure the only single released from Physical Graffiti was "Trampled Under Foot"/"Black Country Woman," though "Wanton Woman" may have been released as a single on a later compilation.

    As a general rule, Led Zeppelin hated singles; most Zep singles were released in the U.S. -- without the band's consent and/or under unrelenting, heavy pressure.

    And of course as every establishment-loving Billboard and Rolling Stone reader does not know, John McLaughlin gave Jeff Beck the famous white Strat used in the classic jazz fusion album Wired!

    As JB explains at around the 2:10 minute mark!

    That's the way I remember it too.

    Good point ,by that time I was probably no longer following either Billboard or singles.

    Correct,they refused to release "Stairway To Heaven" as a single.

    There was at least one Zep single(one of my favorites in fact) that didn't hit the Top 40 ,though it should have:

    This outrageously retarded video reduces a MASSIVE classic to some weird, retarded Elvis Costello dumb shit looking crap. I wish they had video of the broad and yours truly getting it on when this song was on the radio! Kick it up a notch or two!

    Even The Beatles had a few that didn't hit the Billboard Top 40:











    What Elvis and The Beatles might have sounded like together:

    Back when I saw John Entwistle perform in the John Entwistle Band from literally 10 feet away at Toad's, I do not recall if he played this classic. I will check with Billboard and Rolling Stone for approval when they actually provide any evidence they have not been clueless for their entire existence.



    On one of his basses he had the drop D tuner he would hit occasionally! I admit I wore ear protection. But dude, I was directly in front of his stack of amps. Come on!
