songs that weren't a bands biggest hit, but have gone on to be their legacy song and biggest iTunes seller

Huh, wow - that's not the way it feels at all.

when did “althea” become one of the most popular grateful dead songs? it’s not on a major album or any of the greatest hits, not one of the 50 most played according to jerrybase. yet it has 20 million more streams on spotify than “sugar magnolia.” what gives? is it a john mayer thing?

I just noticed that Love & Rockets'second most streamed song on Spotify after "So Alive" isn't "No New Tale To Tell", "Ball Of Confusion", or "All In My Mind", but a B-Side from the "Kundalini Express" single called "Holiday On The Moon". Anybody know where it got it's popularity from ?

Not sure. It was covered by that guy from Tool in his band Puscifer though.

That must be it, thanks !
