I'd go with that. Poor John - just not cutting the mustard. Although the album is full of great songs, I think these are the only two a-side candidates. WMGGW is too ploddy and lacks a decent hook. |

Maybe While My Guitar Gently Weeps is the best track on the album. But URSS and Obladi are the most commercial for sure. I suppose Obladi could be an easy #1 but maybe a too stupid single. I mean... we have Yellow Submarine already so...  I suppose, in fact, the best track for being released as a single could be Back In The U.S.S.R. (...but I guess I already voted for Guitar, I'm just confused!  ) |

Most folks in my part of the world at the time (west coast, USA) considered 'WMGGW' the best track on the album, I believe, with 'BITUSSR' running a close second. Released singles or not, they both got the lion's share of FM airplay. For all intents and purposes, they were the singles.  |

We all seemed to be choosing the same kind of songs for singles, what about SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!  Dear Prudence / Savory Truffle |

Dear Prudence was a UK # 3 hit for Souxsie and The Banshes in 1983. Think it would have made a good single  DaveRam  |
