Favourite unreleased songs
Hey, was just listening to Robbie Williams' old album 'Escapology' and came across a track called 'Monsoon', which i absolutely love and think should have been released as a single. I was just thinking there must be loads of tracks from artists albums which people prefer to the ones they released, so what's everyone else's favourite track from an album which was never released as a single?

Too many to mention. But at the moment it would have to be "Letter to God" from Sheryl Crow's "Wildflower" album.

I agree about Monsoon by Robbie, add to that One of Gods Better People and Phoenix From The Flames. Karma Killer's also amazing.
Theres a few on the latest Sugababes album as well that are amazingly good! |

![]() I always thought 'Downbound train' bu Bruce Springsteen off the Born in the USA album would have made a great single. |

Anyways, my favourites would be classics like "Day in the Life", "Helter Skelter", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Across the Universe" (all Beatles), Immigrant Song, Dazed and Confused (Zeppelin), much of the entire Kid A album by Radiohead......the list is endless. Singles usually suck balls compared to album tracks. |

I could spend all day on this, but I'll name a few:
- Skunk Anansie - Little Baby Swastikkka (although it was released on vinyl as a promo - From Paranoid and Sunburnt) - Björk - Mouths Cradle (from Medúlla) - Massive Attack - Group four (from Mezzanine - soooooooooo good) |

Monsoon is a big favourite with RW fans and is still on the playlist at concerts. Personally I would say Me and My Monkey is his best unreleased song!

I think a better question would be what is the best unreleased song ever - ie not been even issued on any single, album, EP.....
The Beatles have always been the best at this, which is why the Anthology albums were so popular and great. However, since they've been issued now, the best song that's NEVER been issued is "Watching Rainbows" or "Wake up in the Morning" by them

Just to correct one point - Led Zepp didn't make a habit of releasing any singles, although there was a limited release of Immigrant Song. My husband has a copy of it - we've no intention of selling it, but think it might be worth a few bob now!!

Pete Doherty - "Beg, Steal or Borrow" ... It was available to all the people who went to a gig he did in London, but never released beyond that... Great little tune...
The guys is a legend... |

Warning Sign from Coldplays ROBTTH and Dry on Feeder's Yesterday Went Too Soon are brilliant songs which could have done well if released.

Mariah Carey- Stay the night Gwen Stefani- The real thing John Legend- She don't have to know J-lo- I got you , also I love. Better than the stuff she released from her last album imo |
