1978’s Hidden Rock Classics: Queen, Journey, The Cars & Devo

Coming up we’re counting down the Top 10 songs from an unbelievable year. Some of the biggest rock songs ever, but they were never actually hits, and truly, most of these are even better than the hit singles of the day. We’ve got some wild backstories on this one, including how Queen's album Jazz was shredded in a nasty hit piece that called the band sexist. Then their big single Don't Stop Me Now from the album FLOPPED at #86. But decades later it became the biggest song from that year with almost 5 billion streams. Or how about Moving in Stereo from one of the best debut albums of the 70s that soundtracked the most rewinded movie scene of the 80s. It was rewinded and it broke a record amount of VCRs. We also have Devo album opener Uncontrollable Urge that was never even released as a single, but it’s made a million a year for the last 16 years straight because of a cable clip show. And last, but not least, how Steve Perry as a temporary roadie was promoted to Journey's lead singer and became one of the greatest rock singers ever... next on POR.
