There are so many great singles that miss the TOP 40 every week at the expense of the 'hyped up manufactured cheesy pop acts' (bitter who me? ) but these are ones i loved which spring to mind

CAMEO - A goodbye
MICK JAGGER - Lucky in love

and more recently

REEF - All i want
TEENAGE FANCLUB - I need direction

Anyone else have favourites?

A Camp - I can buy you

One of the best songs of last year. I pretty certain it didn't get into the Top 40.

A-ha's latest single Lifelines went in at 78 and dropped out of the top 100 the following week.

Shame as its a good record.

Slipknot - My Plague.
and
[spunge] - Jump On Demand.

Bryan Adams latest song came in quite low and that was brilliant!
Bet Angelles 'Joy & Pain' will come in low, but that song rules! and she is gorgeous. Its just not hyped enough

I saw them at Glastonbury 2002 in the New Bands Tent.. I must admit at the time I didnt think much of them, but I saw them after the superb Simple Kid (never heard of him until that day, but he was fantastic!).. anyway, Leaves seemed to have a big following, so I recently downloaded one of their songs and I'm very impressed with it.

Not enough! She should be pushing it like the Spice Girls did! You could not get through a day at one time without hearing about the Spice Girls singles! (baby spice was the best btw)

Yep, i thought there would be many examples.
Hayden30, the LEAVES song was superb as others have been from them, hopefully they will get more recognition.

Have you or any others heard of a band called MEW? They are Danish i think and have a fantastic song called 'Am i Wry? No' which i think is sheer class, not sure if it has been released yet. Sadly it might sink without trace but if its a smash of course tell folk you heard it from me first
