8. Hello Hello- Sopwith Camel (Sopwith Camel lp)
9. Love's Made A Fool Of You- Bobby Fuller 4
10The Eggplant That Ate Chicago-Dr. West's Medicine Show and Jug Band
Number 10 is notable only for it's brainchild-Norman Greenbaum, who had one of the best singles from 1970, "Spirit In The Sky".
There are so many Duran songs I could put in this category because I believe that most of their best songs were never commercial hits and their career has gone for 30 odd years and still counting. I will try to restrain myself from posting any more though...
