All one-hit wonders qualify....

And well, Community indeed, I have to agree with that, since most artists are beginning in the music world, give them some time and some original compositions...

Dance Hall Days by Wank Chunks,or was it Wang Chung? either way i bought their album on the strength of that song-first & last time that happened.

i'm also a fan of "cruel summer" - bananarama

10 Feb 2004, 13:02

I think the White Stripes are one of the most overrated bands around right now but Seven Nation Army's a kick-ass song.

i always preferred 'i heard a rumour.'

'pure shores' -- all saints.

Driving around today, I heard that No Doubt song Underneath It All, which sounded rather nice, as I'm quite put off by her vocal tones, though the line "you used up all your coupons and all you've got left is me" is one of the dumbest things I can recall in a hit song :skeptic:

Fave Bananarama song : Robert De Niro's Waiting.

Good songs: Crap Bands

'Invisible Touch'- Genesis 'Sugar Mice'- Marillion 'Push The Feeling On'- The Nightcrawlers 'Golden Brown'- The Stranglers 'Big Bang'- Revenge

Theres a ton more, but, I just cant be arsed....

11 Feb 2004, 06:21

"spiralling" by Erasure

11 Feb 2004, 11:16

Radar Love by Golden Earring (sounds fantastic when you're cruising down the highway)

11 Feb 2004, 13:25

Pure Shores: good call.

What's wrong with Jimmy Cliff though? I'll pick "Wonderwall" by Oasis as I quite like that but I hate them generally. Also "My Insatiable One" by Suede and "Favourite Game" by the Cardigans.
