These Songs should have been hits #GBE2

One of my favorite things to do, especially in summer when I have a little Itunes money to spend (someone always gives me Itunes money these days for my birthday, which is in July), is to come up with lists of songs. These can be playlists for my Ipod, or just lists of songs that fit some theme.

This summer my song list idea was framed as a question, "What if there was a song that under the right conditions could be a hit? How would one get the ball rolling to turn that song into a hit?" The way I figure it, one way that could happen is if a blogger, and I guess I can call myself that now, decided to start a poll where he asked his readers to start a discussion of songs that should have been hits and then seeded the discussion with his own set of potential hits. His readers and himself would then vote on and discuss all the songs that were brought up. Then maybe one of those songs would catch on and actually could become a hit. Or maybe it would be another song that one of his readers suggested (hint, hint!).

So, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Here is my starter list of songs I think should have or could have been hits, along with links to the song in Itunes so you can listen to snippets of them and get the idea.

1. "Dim" by Dada
2. "Seasons" by Chris Cornell
3. "For Celebrations Past" by Screaming Trees
4. "Donna Everywhere" by Too Much Joy

Now vote:

Which of these songs should have been a hit?

I will be monitoring the vote totals and also the comments and will rework this post and poll as other suggestions are made.
