Quite unique is an ambitious bar to set for any band. Unless we are using unique as Dem wanted literally used, as in, literally unique meaning fairly unusual unless you look in to it. I thought the Beatles did a lot of double A sides or whatever you'd call them and then were in a time where the singles weren't automatically on their albums But the original comment about oasis isn't far off, take a song like half the world away, that's a b side with how many Spotify listens? And how many radio plays, it is very rare songs get that kind of popularity, again pulp and blur aren't doing that, not even close 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many radio plays, it is very rare songs get that kind of popularity, again pulp and blur aren't doing that, not even close I was working off a hunch, I’m not luring everyone in to a gotcha moment where I amaze everyone that the top three Spice Girls tunes weren’t singles. I think back in the day more artists would have been either an album band or a poptastic singles band, so I’m expecting (on zero research) the likes of Stevie Wonder to have widely known album tracks, but Katie Perry not so much.

Who else can boast that? Many consider The Masterplan to be Oasis’s best album too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW would be interesting because with nothing to back this up I'd have thought he was singles based in the 60s when he broke through but then went on to have big albums in the 70s as music changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many different artists make up that list? Nobody said that Oasis invented the popular unreleased song, just they have many more than anyone else (imo, and possibly with the exception of the Beatles which I doubt anyone cba to check). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
