What songs do you consider non-hits from Rumours?

"Nothing At All" was a U.S. Top 10 hit in the spring of 1986....it was the follow-up to "These Dreams." The fact that you never heard/don't remember it sort of proves my point. Which is the bigger hit....."Crazy on You" (No. 35) or "Nothing At All" (No. 10)?

Where is your source? The one I read said it did not chart in the US.

Never said you didn't have a point. However, I wasn't listening to or keeping up with rock/pop charts closely in the '80's & '90's. But, an industry hit is an industry hit -- regardless of if a fan remembers it 25 years later.

For example here are three songs from 1977's Billboard top 10 that I do not remember either the song or the artist:

5. Angel In Your Arms » Hot
6. I Like Dreamin' » Kenny Nolan
7. Don't Leave Me This Way » Thelma Houston

These were obviously still big hits...

(Note: Angel in Your Arms was covered by other artists and I remember their versions. I have no memory of a group called Hot.)

I've never heard #5 but 6 & 7 yes. #7 still receives moderate airplay today.

All Billboard reference books.....Top 10 charts, Top Pop Singles, plus I subscribed to the magazine back then.

And I wouldn't argue that "Nothing At All" wasn't a hit. It obviously was. I'm more interested in "Crazy On You." If we were trying to find the favorite non-hit by Heart, would it be included in the poll since it didn't even come close to the Top 20?

Also, hope you don't think I'm picking on you or trying to start something. I'm just debating (with myself as much as anyone else) because what sounded like it was going to be a very simple and fun poll has become kind of complicated.
