As there's so many DD songs that weren't singles, I too am going to restrict this to "album tracks that could/should have been a single" and nominate one from each album:
DD-TFA: Friends of Mine Rio: New Religion 7&TRT: The Seventh Stranger SRTR: Keep Me In The Dark Not: Hold Me BTh: Too Late Marlene Lib: Liberty DD-TWA: Love Voodoo Med: Big Bang Generation PT: Playing With Uranium Astro: Chains RCM: Nite Runner AYNIN: Before The Rain PG: What Are The Chances?
Admittedly Paper Gods was tough to stick to my self-imposed restrictions as bonus tracks such as Valentine Stones would have been better.
And Rio was tough too - not only could every song be a single, the whole album could be a f**king "Greatest Hits" collection by anyone else's standards.

"Always stretching time but it's never long enough" "Maybe we're just comfortably dizzy?" Great thread - Got to correct this though. It's " comfortably deceived" - which is one of my favorite Simon lyrics! Proof of this lyrics from Ask Simon June 2nd 2008 Simon's answer is pretty funny. He doesn't answer the question but instead fixates on the remark about it being "curiously placed".

Sound Of Thunder - I love this song. It's only of the only songs that really feature Roger.
Friends Of Mine - Just an epic Duran song
Hold Back The Rain - A real ball of energy
Of Crime and Passion - I'm surprised that this wasn't a single, it's dark, it's got guitar (for the lack of guitar that people think 7 has this song is actually pretty guitar driven IMO - GO Andy!!)
American Science - This might be the best ever song to not be released.
Vertigo - I love this song, would have been a great single IMO, maybe turn the guitar up a little, and give it solo that Warren did on the live version and it would fit into the late 80s radio format even better)
Palomino - edit out the small part, whale song, and this is a great single.
My Antartica - beautiful song, that should have been the lead single (IMO)
Love Voodoo - Don't know if this song could have been a single, but I really love this song, it's a great album track for sure
Big Bang Generation - One of the few songs off this album that I still enjoy. JT makes this song IMO
The Valley - I LOOOOOVVVVEEEE this song. Never would have been a hit, but it's still great. Point Of No Return - The most "Duran" sounding song on the album.
Being Followed - Sounds like it was a demo off the first album that they reworked.
Man Who Stole A Leopard - This is truly a master piece of music by Nick.
Face For Today - This is the most Duran sounding song on the PG album.
