But seriously, Zep 4 and Graffiti are two of the best records ever recorded. Not one 'Hit' on either of them. What about Metallica Ride the Lighting? Electric Ladyland? You do realize Hendrix technically speaking is a one hit wonder. The Grateful Dead Janis Joplin and Zappa are all one hit wonders??

so your dead wrong brotha. Those bands have at least 10 or 20 songs each that should have been 'Hits'
So there is more to a hit song than the quality of the song. If it's any one thing. It really is the right song at the right time. An of course the right amount of payola to the right person at the right time.
