There's more, of course. Go ahead and read the whole list.

Does this mean I never need to hear those 3 songs again, please? "Classic Rock" stations seem to have forgotten that the hits came off of albums with other great songs, but never play them. I want my XM and Internet station!
You're right about "Stairway" - never released as a single. It seems like "albums tracks" and singles have become indistinguishable via rock radio.
It's probably the most popular "non-single" ever released..... so it of course deserves some sort of mention, I'd guess. I'm not sure what the criteria was, though.
