As music lovers we tend to forget that most people are not as passionate as we are about music, so most casual listeners do not feel the need, perhaps don't even think about going beyond the hit they heard and check out the full album of the artist. It seems many young people discovered Kate Bush because of Stranger Things, but how many of them probably only listened to Running Up That Hill and didn't go further in her discography ? And that's neither good or bad, how much music means to you, the role it has in your life is very personal and unique.

@@alternativepreacher4516 Excellent comments. Time is an important factor when it comes to appreciating music (same with literature, films, etc.) As such, I'm very selective with things I give my attention to (especially these days), mainly because I'm the type that loves to spend time digesting a piece of work, and getting to know it well (same for books, films, etc.) Couple that with my interest in countless genres, and it becomes even more complicated. There are all kinds of interesting things coming from all corners of the globe (and from countless points in time), and it is simply impossible to hear everything (much less digest it.) As listeners/consumers, sometimes we have to make a conscious effort to draw the line somewhere, and recognize that it is perfectly fine to do so; Nothing wrong with slowing one's pace when it comes to buying/listening. It's like having an occasional glass of wine - I am going to sip it slowly, and savor every drop; Can't quite enjoy it if I gulp it down in a minute. I spend some months listening to an album (or rotate between two different ones) before moving on to something else. Of course, this process varies from individual to individual (most listeners probably move at a much faster pace.)

Another song that should receive classic status is "I love her all I can" by Kiss (not a hit, but that classic status like "Parasite" has).

One thing to do up front is define what is meant by "a hit". In olden days I think it referenced a song released as a single that became popular (and sold well), the broader definition being anything "broadly popular or well-known". With the age of LP's also came songs that might be called "hits" but were never singles. How to classify a track like Led Zep's "Stairway"? Everyone knows it & played to death on radio but never a single. Definitely not a "deep track". It does meet the broader definition. Do we also factor in # of online streams & radio play?

Great discussion thanks for posting guys!

The other side of this is quotes from artists where they say they never thought that single 'x' would be a hit but then it was. Record execs generally pick the songs from albums to be released (pushed) as singles & they're guessing (excluding self-released albums). If you sign the checks then you get to pick. There is a formula that gets applied to popular music as well that probably gets frequently used as a guide when picking them. Sometimes it works & sometimes it doesn't. To me the thing about deep tracks is that they appeal to me because I don't hear 'em all the time, but that's a "self-fulfilling prophecy" in a way because that by definition is what makes the deep tracks "deep" in the first place

There's another side to this, which are the songs that became very popular without ever being actual "singles". Going back far enough, the single was the way to promote individual songs (with or without an album). So this third category of songs are the popular tunes (and therefore not "deep cuts") that were never singles/hits as such but in the album era were spotlighted & played enough to become popular without that singles machine pushing them. AOR radio had a lot to do with that, also "classic rock" stations. Great example: "Stairway To Heaven", arguably THE Led Zep track known to everyone but never released as a single. Also one of their best. So not a "hit" per se but also certainly not a deep cut. Others: "Here Comes The Sun", "LA Woman", “Space Truckin", “YYZ”...Maybe another SoT show topic...?🤷‍♂

I think Pete hit on something about the driving simplicity of the hits, like Easy Livin’ and Paranoid. The masses love the straight forward beat. I have a lot of faith in individuals, but not in the masses, which tend to be unsophisticated. It doesn’t mean those songs are bad, they’re just so straight forward that the mass appeal is what brought the masses in, people who aren’t intellectual about music and complexity.

@wolf1977

Жыл бұрын

Yeah complexity doesn't necessarily equal good or bad. It's just more time & key changes that tend to challenge your ears more than more straightforward music. I think if a song is hummable, or you can whistle the main melody after hearing it, it's got a good chance of becoming "popular" (eg a hit). That doesn't say anything about its quality though. I can hum "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys, a song I'd say is as good as anything else ever written in pop/rock

A&R guys like John Kalodner played a huge role in the career trajectory of a lot of artists. If Kalodner didn’t like what he was hearing,it was back to the drawing board.

Great show guys! I haven't been collecting albums for a long time, but I am aware that there are people out there that only know the hits and don't even bother to check out anything else from their so-called favorite bands. I don't have my top five Black Sabbath songs set in stone. But I got into the early Ozzy albums recently, and I'm loving "Supernaut," "Snnowblind," "Hole in the Sky," "Thrill of It All," and "Killing Yourself to Live." I purposely avoid 'Paranoid' because I never need to hear "War Pigs," "Iron Man," and the title track ever again!

Btw, "D'Yer Maker" is actually pronounced like the island nation "Jamaica". The title references an old UK joke in which two guys are talking in a pub, and one asks the other where his wife is, to which he responds "She's on vacation" (actually the Brits would say "on holiday"). The other guy replies by asking "Jamaica?" (as in "Did she go to Jamaica?"), to which the other responds "No, I didn't make her go". It's making fun of the British lower class "Cockney" accent, in which the question "Did you make her?" (phonetically spelled of course famously as "d'yer maker?"; yes I know the 'phonetic' spelling isn't particularly phonetic, at least not on this side of the pond) sounds like "Jamaica?" There's a sexual innuendo there too of course, and it also is referencing the song's reggae influence (hence the punny nod to Jamaica), but that's the story behind the title of that song.

Totally agree. Pete as you said many times BOC people buy a ticket and only go to hear Don't Fear The Reaper. Uriah Heep the same only Byrom era strange.

Paradise/The Spell is my favorite Uriah Heep song.

Good point Pete about people saying you must or should like this drives me mad.

I just tried to rank all Deep Purple songs (my fav band). I made it to the 1968-1975 albums and realised it was kind of impossible to do and maybe pointless. There are so many songs I like equally. So many songs that could/ should make my Top 10 or 20 and I realised that even though I really love the Morse era, none of the songs would make the Top 30 which is kind of none sense when I think about it deeper (no pun). My Top 10 ended up being: Burn, Flight of the Rat, Rat Bat Blue, Lay Down Stay Down, Fools, You Fool No One, Highway Star, Soldier of Fortune, Pictures of Home, Stormbringer. Smoke on the Water ended up @ 64, Black Night @ 73 and Child in Time @ 33. It's hard enough to rank the albums! Cheers.

I'm w/you on When the Levee Breaks. Favorite Zeppelin song hands down! The Wanton Song is another favorite of mine as well.

Great subject and show. I'm with you that most of the times with bands I love it's not the singles however (and this could potentially be a show one day) there's been a few times when I've seen the band live and heard the single and then I realised what all the fuss was about. It wasn't until I heard it live that the power of the track became apparent to me. An example is A Design For Life by Manic Street Preachers - their most popular song wouldn't make my top 30 of their music but when I went to the concert for the first time I was really affected by it in a way I had never been on record.

Maybe seeing/hearing others' reaction to those hits also swayed your opinion? I think that can happen for example in movie theaters when there's a strong audience reaction to a movie's scenes that you maybe wouldn't personally have watching that same move alone at home (on a small screen). I think experiencing something live with others will always be more visceral

@@wolf1977 Yeah that’s a fair suggestion and it leads to further discussion about what a song is designed for? Traditionally they were made to play to packed rooms and to make people dance, definitely a social experience. Throughout rock history and the recording industry that’s probably changed where sometimes they’re built for one person with headphones. But with regards to the first point, I’d suggest that a song especially a rock song isn’t complete until it’s performed in front of an audience and so how it reacts and what it adds is part of the song and it’s affect.

Paranoid has massive appeal because It's a relatively simple quick hard rock that does enough to show case what the band has to offer. Ozzy sounds good, Iommi has a catchy riff and guitar solo, Bill Ward does a good job of banging around and Geezer has some catchy bass guitar playing. The lyrics are easy to hear and sin along to to as well. It's what I consider the "Nickle Tour" song of Black Sabbath and for many people is good enough. It's been easy for FM rock stations to mindlessly pump it out over the airwaves to death at 2:48 in length and unfortunately tons of people seem content with just hearing that song. I like the song and do really like the riff that Iommi plays but think it's somewhat short sited as to what the band is actually all about, I'm also sick of hearing Iron Man but at least that does a bit more to highlight the qualities of their song writing, playing and versatility.

With Priest my favorite song has always been Island of Domination and I would say Killing Machine, Here Come The Tears & Savage are easily in the Top 8 To throw in Blue Oyster Cult to mix they are poster child of discussion. They might have some of the best deep cuts of any hard rock/metal band. At smaller venues which tends to draw the devoted fan base the audience goes nuts for Dominance & Submission and ETI more so than say Godzilla.

BTW, fun conversation! Another poster made a great point - Zep and Sabbath fans aren't choosing what becomes hits.

For favorite bands, deep tracks are often just as enjoyable as the radio hits. But for bands you don’t dig as much, the deep tracks don’t usually impress. For example, I’m not a huge Styx fan...I do like a few of their radio songs but after that it all goes downhill fast. But old Chicago (of whom I love) has a wealth of deep cuts that I never tire of.

An interesting discussion on this topic . The album that I'm going to use is outside the genre that you were discussing , but is an apt example I think . The first album that I thought of was Billy Joel's The Stranger . It seemed like every other song on that album was pushed as a single , and a lot of those hit songs appear regularly on top 10 lists . Yet , by far , my favourite song on that album is Vienna . You won't find it on any of his hits compilations ( that I'm aware of ) , and nobody ever talks about it . Interestingly enough , I recently saw a KZread video where an Interviewer asked Billy Joel to name his 5 favourite songs from his own catalog . Vienna was one of them . Anyway , a great discussion gentlemen, Thanks !

One More For The Rodeo UFO what a song cheers Pete

I think what's interesting is I'm starting to see a bit of a change in the streaming/social media era where the fans have a little more say in what becomes a "hit". Some musicians/bands will start to include songs in shows more frequently based on streaming numbers or popularity . An example is Ghost's Mary on a Cross (a single from 2019 which wasn't on an album) going viral on tik tok in recent weeks. As a result, it's now currently trending on spotify and they've released a different version of it. Pretty interesting

I'm with ya Martin... So glad u said "Carouselambra"!!!!!

Like you two, there are sooooooo many songs that I like, but I have heard so many times that I don't need to hear them ever again. You Shook Me All Night Long, Tom Sawyer, Jump, Free Bird, Sweet Emotion, Legs, Take It Easy, etc. Give me Whole Lotta Rosie, The Garden, Atomic Punk, Gimme Three Steps, Same Old Song and Dance, Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings, Those Shoes, etc.

This is a great topic, the deep cuts are sometimes the better songs. My top 5 Priest songs would be and I know this might be controversial but I love Cathedral Spires from Jugulator, Desert Plains, The Sentinel, Riding On The Wind & Beyond the Realms of Death. Honorable mention is Ram It Down

A fascinating discussion, one of your best. I would say a sub genre built on hits, or at least radio singles and videos on heavy rotation on scuzz and kerrang etc... is nu-metal. Generally, I would argue they were songs built around 1 big chord driven riff and a big chorus and written for airplay. The hits/singles were generally the best songs and VERY indicative of the sound of the album. I recall buying Sinner by Drowning Pool because I loved the song Bodies...it was the 1st track on the album but it was all downhill after because it was 1 song written 10 times. Bands such as Papa Roach, Ill Nino, Pist-On, Spineshank, Dry Kill Logic among others all had strong singles but the albums had little in the way of depth or variety which was absolutely fine because they usually delivered on the one thing they were going for. I know nu-metal is usually a swear word on this channel but I liked some of it and I think, for the most part, the hits were the best songs.

Concert experience Rush, 2 guys next to me sat still for over 2 hours and went ballistic when Closer to the Heart was played

Most of the time when it's a band I only like the hits its because I'm not really a big fan of the band, but have a fond love for those hit songs. For me, it's never a lack of trying because I am a collector so If I like even one song from a band I will buy basically their entire catalog because I find myself desperately wanting to add more songs to my giant list of songs I already love. On the other side of things bands, I love all the deep cuts on are bands I love, and while I still usually like the hits it's more so because of Nostalgia. Because that was my gateway into the band so without those hits, I would have never bought the album which led me to the other tracks. Over time on bands I love the hits make their way down the list because they become less interesting, and I find myself wanting to find more and more songs to like because I already have a long list of bands I only like the hits from. As a music lover, I want an endless number of songs I love so I want to find bands that you just love all these deep cuts, and sometimes it works out that way, and sometimes it doesn't and they become a hits band for me.

My wife and I are the complete opposites in our listening habits. She is the radio hits only listener - she knows nothing else from these bands/artists. I am the full album/catalog listener that definitely appreciates the deep cuts much more than the hits.

The thing that "bugs" me nowadays is there's a lot of people who would never like a old song until they hear it in a movie or tv show. Someone brought up Kate Bush and Running Up the Hill, that's a prefect example, only a few years ago I played that song for my Sister and her teenage kids, and they all hated it and said that song is weird, I don't like it" but then they heard it on Stranger Things, how they all love it, same goes with a lot of old metal/hard rocks I played for them and they would always say turn that shit off, it sucks, but then it would be played in a movie/tv show and now love them. lol

Any concert I miss - my first question " what deep cuts did they play?". I could care less about the hits. Rock radio has killed them for me. I just NOW started listening to the 1st Boston album again after 20 radioless years. Radio had killed that whole album for me, but now that I don't listen to radio, I'm liking that album again

I've always been a deep album cut guy. The "hit" process of repeating a song into popular conciousness has always grated on me. Also the fact that today, classic rock radio such a has a HUGE menu of songs to choose from, they shouldn't repeat a song in month, yet... I'm convinced that the royalty structure is set up to be cheaper to repeat songs than to not (hence, hit production). I'm just a product of early unformatted FM radio, I guess. PS - It still smokes me that most people have bought into the idea that commercial success is a true barometer of artistic worth. There, I said it... -MJ

To record companies music's strictly a business not an art form (with rare exceptions) & they sign the checks - unless you self-release your records, which you can now do more easily via the web. So they've always had a big say in what gets promoted & played on commercial radio - at least in any type of steady rotation. Far be it from me to defend them, I think they've largely taken advantage of many artists, but I think that explains much of what you hear on radio. Also radio stations starting in the late 70's began using "programming" services that developed play lists automatically, cutting live radio dj's out of the mix. To me some of the web algorithms behind services like Pandora, iHeartRadio, Spotify etc that determine what gets displayed on home pages, how "related song lists" are built, how virtual radio stations are programmed etc are just updated versions of this

The idea behind the hits was to lead you to buy an album, where you MIGHT find even better songs. Yes, the hits are good, but a REALLY GOOD BAND have "deep cuts " that are better(and back in the day, you had radio stations that played " deep cuts " more than the hits) My four favorite artists are Kansas, Supertramp, Steely Dan, and Dire Straits, but Carry On Wayward Son, Dust In The Wind(Kansas)Give A Little Bit ,Take The Long Way Home(Supertramp), Hey Nineteen, Rikki Don't Lose That Number(Steely Dan), Sultans Of Swing ,Money For Nothing(Dire Straits) are NOT my favorite songs, because there are deep cuts that are better(and a bit of fatigue from hearing them too much on radio/MTV/VH1). I think that if you are a serious fan of an artist, you have to like more than the hits, otherwise, why buy albums other than a greatest hits/best of album?

Child Of Vision is a masterpiece! That repeating keyboard riff is pure Bliss! You rule!

Here is a theme for an upcoming show. Bands where their biggest hits contain nothing of what the band is about. But I guess that would basically be this show retitled.🤔🤔🤔

Regarding live shows I had several occasions, where songs I did ignore before or didn't líke too much, suddenly became my new favorites. So can't really understand, how people only want to hear the hits. I think another factor is, if you really grew up with those albums or if you discover them later on, maybe even with a Best of. I had a Uriah Heep Best of for the last 20 years and started only recently to dig into their discography. But somehow I still prefer songs like July Morning or The Wizard. Salisbury and Rainbow Demon now would also my Top 5, but mainly it's the songs I know now for a long time. A different case would be Queen, where I bought album after album, when I grew up. With Queen there would be no Bohemian Rhapsody or You're my best friend in my Top 5, because they have so many great deep cuts, like Black Queen, Prophet's Song, Death on two legs or Flick of the wrist. I would encourage anyone, who is sure about his favourite songs of a band and who likes mainly the hits: Just (re-)listen to the whole catalog. You might be in for some discoveries.

Pete feels about Doctor Doctor the way I've always felt about Kasmir - just don't like it, never have. I'd put Tea For One in for Zeppelin. I appreciate Martin's love for the Chapman era UFO albums. One of my all-time favorites from that era is Profession Of Violence. We Belong To The Night was a great set opener on the Mechanix tour. Priest, I'd go Solar Angels (again the set opener on that tour). Heep, how about Sell Your Soul from Abominog (how's that for Contrarian). For Sabbath - The Writ has always been my favorite song by them. Cheers Gentlemen!

I used to only focus on the hits but Pete has taught me well. However there are bands that I like the hits more such as the Steve Perry era Journey with that being said I really like the Pre Perry era especially the debut. When it come to bands I love a lot some of the deeper tracks I like more than the couple of big hits. Such as Deep Purple smoke on the water wouldn't even make my top 10 or Honorable when it comes to Deep Purple but songs like Bloodsucker and Fools would. Shout out to Martin by picking some great Judas Priest songs from a great album when breaking the law wouldn't make my top 10 Priest songs. Also shout out to Pete for bringing up Uriah Heep's Rainbow demon and Shadows of Greif that would make my top 10 and honorable mentions for Heep. A friend and former Co worker of mine that is big into music would always play the hits and I asked him why only play the hits his response that's what everyone wants to hear. If you think those few big hits by an artist is their best songs or only the really good songs they have your sadly mistaking. My advice to people with that mindset give their other material a chance.

The thing here is we are in a community of music lovers so we know entire discography's of bands and love deep cuts all over the place. John Q public doesn't care they like what they've heard on the radio or in some other form and thats all they need to know. they aren't "wrong" its just not important to them as it is to us.
