One of my favorite songs is Dark Eyed Cajun Woman off of the Doobie Brothers’ Captain and Me album. I think all the guitar in that song is awesome. Wish I could play like.

I think Kings of Leon's best song is "Ragoo".

I think DMX's best song is "Crime Story"

I think Dr. Dre's best song is "Housewife"

My favorite Fleetwood Mac song is a track that I really don't even know how I found. It's on the Tusk (2 CD remaster) album (or this is what it is named on my computer) and is called "Song #1 (I know I'm not wrong). There are literally like 8 different versions of "I know I'm not wrong that have been put out on various extended release albums. This one is my favorite, and quite possibly the hardest to find. I just spent basically an hour trying to find it, and I found a youtube clip with it that has 173 views. Lol. LINK

I think Justin Timberlake's best song is the "I think that she knows" interlude.

The chauffeur was arguably the best song on Rio.

Bob Dylan probably holds the record on this category. Too many to name.

This Bryan Adams song most definitely could have been a hit. Written about Amy Winehouse.

Listening to the bside of Sweet Soul Sister? During the that Sonic temple tour they did an awesome live version of American Horse.

Maybe not an artist that had plenty of hits but they had a few big ones:

Jimmy Eat World - A Praise Chorus

"Pushing Me Away" is my favorite song off Reanimation and Hybrid Theory.

The last track on all of Bring Me The Horizon's albums since Sempiternal have been up there for each respective CD ("Hospital for Souls" / "Oh No" / "I Don't Know What to Say [this one destroys the rest of Amo]").

"Knights of Shame" is a 12 minute song from AWOLNATION at the end of Megalithic Symphony and is just an all around fun song, and the best on an album of really good songs. Good enough to close shows with it when Megalithic Symphony was their only material and have people know all the words and dance.

"Orion" from Master of Puppets is an obvious, obvious call.

"Meaning of Life" / "Droppin Plates" off The Sickness and "Avarice" / "Pain Redefined" / "Sons of Plunder" off 10000 Fists are all better than the majority of those albums

I mean just off the top of my head: Sweetness, The Middle, Bleed American, Pain, Futures, Big Casino, My Best Theory, Coffee and Cigarettes, 555...dudes have some hits.

ETA: I'd go "23" off Futures for JEW. Another long song, but one of my all time favorite chill songs at 7m 23s long.

Well maybe I was wrong then . I just never heard from them much after Bleed American.

ETA: I listened to all the other stuff not on Bleed American and have never heard any of them. 555 just came out too...don't know how it's already a "hit".
