This piece from American Songwriter looks back at The Byrds, the influential 1960s folk-rock band, and highlights three of their singles that the writer argues deserved to be bigger radio hits than they were. The retrospective serves as an appreciation of the group's often-overlooked catalogue beyond their well-known chart-toppers, noting how each song underperformed relative to its artistic merit.

The article covers "All I Really Want To Do", a Bob Dylan cover from the 1965 debut album Mr. Tambourine Man that failed to crack the Top 40; "So You Want To Be A Rock 'N' Roll Star", a 1967 single written by Jim McGuinn and Chris Hillman about the downsides of fame, later covered by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Patti Smith; and "Mr. Spaceman", a 1966 McGuinn-penned track from Fifth Dimension that also only just reached the Top 40 despite becoming a fan favourite.
