Seal - "Love's Divine"

There was once a time when album titles mattered (although some would argue they still matter).  Classic album titles such as Rumours from Fleetwood Mac or Michael Jackson's Thriller immediately come to my mind as both albums sit on the list of top selling albums in history.  I'm sure these folks sat through extensive meetings with record company executives over what the title of the album should be.  I'd also guess these meetings weren't fun and sucked the fun out of the whole process.  In the case of Seal, he just said f*ck it and simply named the majority of his albums Seal.  "Love's Divine" came courtesy of Seal IV.

Fleetwood Mac - "Silver Springs"

"Silver Springs" was the song that wasn't good enough for inclusion on Fleetwood Mac's wildly successful Rumours album.  Instead, the haunting tune found its way out of obscurity nearly 20 years later during Fleetwood Mac's 1997 reunion tour.  After a live version of "Silver Springs" appeared on their album The Dance, Adult Contemporary radio stations couldn't wait to add it to their playlists.  The one lyric that sticks out in this ballad: "You'll never get away from the sound of the woman who loves you."
