Agree with ITSWD that ADITL wouldnt have been and there is a thread which is very similar: 'What album songs or B-sides would have been hits if released as a single?'

He would know - after all, he started that thread last year!

I am locking this thread in favor of the one we already have. It is still a great topic, Wildcat.apple01

(Note: some songs were released as singles in one part of the world but not another)
All My Loving

And I Love Her

[Nowhere Man]

Taxman

While My Guitar ....

If I Fell

Drive My Car

Back in the USSR

Birthday

Michelle

In My Life

With A Little Help...

Across the Universe (actually, no; great song, but would not have been a great single)

Here there and everywhere

 

I don't think A Day in the Life would have been successful as a single.

A classic, I think it deserves to be a single.

What other LP tracks do you think would have made great A-side singles?
