Solar Power is near the bottom from Solar Power

Focus is Power off new Self Esteem

I’d just like to say that while I think this is a swell old thread, I’m going to have to respectfully disagree with both examples in the OP

It’s obviously No One Else and idk, one of the tracks in the middle of W+T, not one of the ones mentioned so far.

Nahhhh. Trailer Park Jesus maybe

Oasis - Don’t Believe the Truth (Lyla)

Oasis - What’s the Story Morning Glory (Roll With It)

Similarly Blur - The Great Escape with Country House (also Charmless man whilst we’re at it)

Great escape is a great little melancholy sequel to Park Life, if you take out the worst 4-5 tracks.

Pearl Jam - Ten - Alive
Pearl Jam - Vs - Dissident

Think there’s a case for Vitalogy too with Better Man, but it has song-adjacent tracks like Bugs and Stupid Mop.

Got a lot of radio play but was never released as a commercial single

I like this song

Oh weird, never knew this. Aside from Alive it was probably their most played song on the radio growing up.

Case closed
