Songs that should've been singles 6 years 9 months ago #3842

I'm wondering what SP songs that people think could've been successful if released as singles. My pick is Quiet, because it's pretty radio-friendly (if not a little rough around the edges) and has a good intro that really grabs you. Another one is Muzzle, which was (rumor has it) supposed to be a single anyway before Jimmy got kicked out. I think it probably would've been a bigger hit than Thirty-Three.

I really think that The Boy could have been a single. It's very catchy and nice. Plus it's one of James' songs. :james

Muzzle, Mayonnaise, Try Try Try (I actually like the Machina 2 alternate version better)

Soma's my fave SP song, but the only reason I'd disagree is that it's almost seven minutes long, so likely radio and tv would either cut it down or not play it at all.

Pug, Honeyspider, Speed Kills, Love...all their songs could be singles in my eyes. A song that shouldnt have been a single though was Untitled....that was not a very good song to go out with. There were so many better choices!

I also thing that the Arising! version of Blue Skies Bring Tears would have made a good single. :)

Actually Muzzle was meant to be the first single off of MCIS but they chose Bullet... instead

Appels + Oranjes

Re: Songs that should've been singles 6 years 9 months ago #3876

That could be also, I'd just heard that it was supposed to be the fifth one, but after Jimmy got kicked out, they picked Thirty-Three because it didn't have drums, which would make it easier to film a video without him.

Nobody really knows the reason why they chose 33 as the final single off the album. I've heard several valid reasons but nothing has been said officially.
