I know I could have loved you but you would not let me welcome to watchmojo and today we're counting down our picks for musical masterpieces that would have been hints had the artist not gotten more hype or something more commercial for my life.

Still ahead, pity me Number 10 the Archer Taylor Swift Combat I'm Ready for Combat Casual fans may have a hard time believing that Taylor Swift has songs that aren't ready to be mega hits, but

the Archer wasn't meant to be an official single off of Lover, which dominated the radio with its title track, Me and More.

I'm the only one of Me Baby, that's the Fun of Me.

Swift pushed for the dream pop ballad to be released as a promotional single because of its personal importance.

The song maintains the album's homage to 80s synthesizer music, juxtaposing combative lyrics with ethereal soundscapes to convey deep emotional growth.

I've been the archer, I've been the prey despite the abstract themes and lack of commercial hooks, the Archer went platinum in multiple countries on sheer acclaim.

One of Swift's most confessional pieces is still considered a hidden gem, but

the true fans agree on its particular importance.

Number nine the working hour tears for fears.

Tucked between Shout and Everybody Wants to Rule the World is what many consider the true masterpiece of Tears for Fears.

Songs from the Chair, the Working Hours swipes at the naysayers as an anthemic ballad with with a William Gregory sax solo leading the last two minutes in an almost seven minute runtime.

This doesn't exactly represent the album as a watershed moment in dark synth pop's commercial appeal.

Roland Orzabal and Kurt Smith still consider it their favorite track, and

As head over heels as the radio still is with the album's singles, the Working Hour is itself an unforgettable answer to those who doubt Tears for Fear's artistry.

Hello, oasis, Roll With It Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova are just a few instant classics on what's the Story Morning Glory that that made Oasis one of the defining rock acts of the 90s.

And yet many downplayed the track which started the album at the top.

The fittingly named hello explodes with classic rock racket with an alternative kick plus a hypnotically soulful chorus.

Noel Gallagher told Select magazine that this track is more polished than the rest to set the trajectory of the album's underdog concept.

The song's charm took another hit when Oasis distanced themselves from it over its lyrical reference to the now disgraced Gary glitter hello may lack the earnestness that made the hit so resonant, but

Nobody ever seems to remember Life is a Game We Play Number seven Love Is a Losing Game Amy Winehouse oh, what a mess we made Bad to Black made a sensation of Amy Winehouse's modern twist on 60s soul.

With love Is a Losing Game, however, she brings the genre back to its roots.

It's a thoughtful, melancholy croon with soft orchestration and intense phrasing, profound tilde.

For the airwaves of the 2000s that couldn't compete with the hook of Rehab or the drama of Back to Black's title track.

Love Is a Losing Game was the lowest charting song on the album.

It also won the Ivor Award for best song musically and lyrically.

Sadly, the Heartbreaker's biggest distinction is that it would be the last single released in Winehouse's lifetime.

Of course, fans mostly remember Love Is a Losing Game as a testament to her winning talent.

In My Place the scientist and clocks helped propel Coldplay's A Rush of Blood to the Head into mainstream immortality, and

yet it's been said that they saved the best track for last.

Amsterdam resolves the album's recurring themes of despair and redemption with a subtle, sophisticated build toward a powerful climax.

It had to have been hard to categorize such a complex anthem against the album's healthy balance of infectious jams and and poignant ballads.

But many serious listeners have argued that Amsterdam represents the zenith of Coldplay's musical ability.

At the very least, it's a fitting, if underappreciated final blowout for the band's magnum opus.

The Joshua Tree was an unlikely phenomenon to consist mostly of rock ballads while the mainstream swooned to where the streets have no Name and with or without you, YouTube fans found one Tree Hill particularly meaningful.

The ethereal anthem was written as a tribute to the late roadie Greg Carroll and his Maori heritage.

It was named for the sacred Auckland site Mongo Kea and incorporates features folk elements behind Bono's moving elegy for his friend.

This experimental, deeply personal masterpiece was a tough sell, but it really resonated with listeners.

One Tree Hill achieved wider attention in the 2000s when it inspired the title of a hit teen TV drama.

Still, this celebration of a man's life and culture can't receive enough praise.

Number 4 Darling Nicky Prince and the revolution.

Controversy sometimes commands the right kind of attention, and

Prince's soundtrack for the film Purple Rain got a lot of attention for its diverse array of chart toppers, from the hopping jam let's Go Crazy to the titular rock epic Purple Rain.

Purple Rain the groovy, steamy and altogether radio unfriendly Darling Nicki was a fan favorite straight away, but

the sexually charged track didn't make headlines until Tipper Gore named it among the filthy 15 songs that inspired the Parents Music Resource Center.

Thus, Darling Nicki contributed to the creation of the parental advisory disclaimer for explicit music released in the US she had so many devices.

While it's still overshadowed by more seductive bangers, Prince's subjects love this one more than ever for its historically significant edge.

Fleetwood Mac's Rumors is one of those rare albums where every track was a hit.

There's no doubt that the breakup ballad Silver Springs would have been another instant classic to dominate radios for all time.

Sadly, there just wasn't enough room on the vinyl lineup.

Despite the lyrics resolving the overarching narrative about Stevie Nicks and Lizzie Buckingham's troubled romance, you'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you.

Silver Springs was relegated to the B side of Go youo Own Way single, but

is often restored as the closing track on later pressings of Rumors.

It may otherwise be underappreciated in the album's legacy, but

it goes to show that whatever the label may not consider commercial enough can still steal listeners Hearts My blue green colors flashing.

Number 239 Queen in the year 39 Assembled here the volunteers in the days when lands were few Queen's A Night at the Opera changed what a mainstream rock album can sound like.

If the classical influence sweet Bohemian Rhapsody can be a mega hit, then why not a jaunty folk song about time dilation?

Though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?

Guitarist Brian May wrote and sang 39 as an ode to his interest in space exploration.

The limited pop prospects of the traditionalist style were finished off by its ironic application to the tragic story of astronauts who discover that centuries have passed back on earth.

So many years have gone Though I'm older but a year your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me.

Nonetheless, the ballad was a sing along live staple and remains one of Queen's most prized hidden gems.

May did receive his PhD in astrophysics in 2007, but

don't discount 39 as a major contribution to the field.

I suppose it's lucky for me that the Queen thing did happen, because it gave me such a different vista to life.

Number one I Can't Help It Michael Jackson.

You don't earn the title King of Pop without setting a standard for catchiness.

Michael Jackson's adult debut off the Wall did that.

From the opening track Don't Stop til you get Enough, The radios couldn't get enough of the singles, but

I Can't Help it was written by Stevie Wonder and Suze Green of the Supremes.

Jackson gave their unmistakable blend of soul, R and B and funk a fresh identity with his classic melodic control over a punchy rhythm.

Along with the many covers was an endorsement by the masters of the pop star's vocal prowess.

Of course, you can't help but get swept up by some star's most overlooked gems.
