These are my favourite singles which aren't considered the more successful hits. I've always wondered why 'Rhiannon' was always considered such a 'hit' when it only reached #11 in the US? This is why it's in my list. It was their second top 20 after 'Over My Head' and 'Say You Love Me' also reached #11 only a couple of months later, so what's all the fuss about?
Rhiannon was the most played song on US FM rock radio for the entire year of 1976..guess you had to be there..to put it in perspective Edge of Seventeen also hit number 11 and we know where most fans would rank that song,
