and another one, Ally: the Stevie Wonder track in this thread ("He's Misstra Know It All") was actually a Top 10 single in the UK

― robin carmody (robin carmody), Thursday, 21 November 2002 20:02 (twenty-three years ago)

What this thread has taught me:

A) most of my favorite album tracks have been released as singles in the UK

B) "Stairway to Heaven" was never released as a single

C) ILM rocks out with our stalks out!

― nickalicious, Thursday, 21 November 2002 20:56 (twenty-three years ago)

and another one, Ally: the Stevie Wonder track in this thread ("He's Misstra Know It All") was actually a Top 10 single in the UK

I thought so too. See this is the problem with album track discussions - half of them HAVE been released in the UK. We don't get sale singles anymore, and you can't base "is it a single?" on radio airplay because radio will play whatever it wants sometimes. I guess the easiest way is "does it have a music video?" with modern songs...

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:00 (twenty-three years ago)

blueski otm re. "juanita" - the best thing they ever did.

(though, to nitpick, i have a wax trax import 12" of it, was it a u.s. single?)

― michael wells (michael w.), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:09 (twenty-three years ago)

three months pass...

Genesis: Supper's Ready

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 3 March 2003 02:59 (twenty-three years ago)

"Juanita" is the best thing Underworld did, except possibly for "Tin There."

Best album-only Stevie Wonder track is easily "Summer Soft."
