They could've resurrected Rick's "Got No Home" which he submitted for the 1988 Greatest Hits set and was turned down. I think it had the most potential for being a "hit single" than anything that WAS released as a single on BTM. And, infinitely a better song...a song that would've fit the overall "feel" of the BTM album...than "Stand On The Rock".

They could've finished "Paper Doll" (which was also turned down for inclusion on the 1988 GH album)...but, again, how different would it have sounded than the finished box set version without Lindsey's contributions? We'll never know. But, for argument's sake, let's say it sounds nearly identical...there's another potential "hit"...sure, it didn't do squat when they released it as a single when the box set came out, but in 1990, it might've had more of a chance to garner airplay then than three years later.
