10 More Great Rock Music Singles That Never Appeared On An Album

10. She Loves You - The Beatles

Sure, The Beatles appeared on the previous list about this topic, but it's hard to ignore the sheer number of bangers they put out unattached to an album.

I Feel Fine was never on an album, neither was Ticket to Ride, and there was the excellent double whammy of Paperback Writer and Rain from 1966. Perhaps most shockingly, the song that gave them their big break was never issued as part of an LP.

She Loves You from 1963 was the band's first major hit, transforming the four cheeky chaps from Liverpool into national celebrities. It rocketed straight to number one in the UK, becoming the best-selling British song of all time, and began a run of chart dominance the likes of which the world had never seen.

Though it was included in US and Canada-exclusive Beatles albums, She Loves You was never part of a UK release. It wasn't ready in time for Please Please Me and was left off With The Beatles, presumably because everyone in the country already owned it as a single.

It's strange that it was never on a proper album, but this decision doesn't seemed to have harmed their careers that badly.
