Anyone else think Tie Your Mother Down would've been a bigger hit on the charts [because it's huge hit in my heart] if it were relased during the 'video era'. I see it as kind of a cross of the Girls just wanna have fun and We're not gonna take it from twisted sister videos with over the top cartoonish parents, heck the family.
It didn't get a high chart position because of the Punk invasion apparently.
I don't believe that though. It just didn't sell that well.

Yeah the fact it wasn't a big hit annoys me because it meant it didn't get on the greatest hits, but luckily they decided to shove it on GVH1 anyway :D
It was a hit but rock fans usually bought the whole album thus ADATR was a HIT....pop fans were the more fickle ones and would just buy a single....if you listen to radio stations everywhere, Tie Your Mother Down has also really endured as a hit.........and to know that rock fans buy albums just look how many hit singles Zeppelin had????
