What musical group do you like only ONE song by?

[begin_within]

For example, the only song by ABBA that I ever liked was "The Visitors."
The only song by Guns & Roses I liked was "Sweet Child of Mine"
The only song by Fleetwood Mac I liked was "Bare Trees" (with the possible exception of "Gold Dust Woman")
The only song by Supertramp I liked was "Take The Long Way Home"
Your examples?

[Aristus]

1. Coolio. "Gangsters Paradise."

I think it's a terrific song in a genre that otherwise does absolutely nothing for me.

[amitten]

2. The Beatles.

I'm kidding.

[crim son]

7. Not me. The Beatles.

I fugure they must have done one song I like, but I'm not sure I've ever heard it.

[idgiehkt]

10. it was the last one they did, I think.

It was called "Can you believe it? What a bunch of suckers!"

[crim son]

12. LOL, I expected to be flamed!

Instead I find we have a common understanding!

[idgiehkt]

20. yes all two of us.

we can be flamed together, lol.

[crim son]

35. Can I use you as a shield if anybody approaches

wielding a flame-thrower?

[qnr]

26. Flamed? What a concept. If you don't like them, you don't like them.

That should be all there is to that, no matter how anyone else feels.

[crim son]

34. Yeah. But have you seen what's gone on here with regard to

restaurant choices? People take some things VERY seriously & criticism of a band could potentially stir up some passionate emotions. Hope not though. It wouldn't change my mind!

[qnr]

38. Only second-hand. I generally don't even bother reading threads where

people are arguing such points. Some information is bound to be useful, but there is simply way too much chaff to find it.

[idgiehkt]

42. roflmao

why, I've no idea what you're talking about, lol.

[Joe Fields]

39. Surely you jest.

[mvd]

44. LOL - they would be on my "no disliked songs" list

Pearl Jam, ABBA, and Fleetwood Mac would be close to the "no disliked" list, too.

[jpgray]

3. Balloon Farm - "A Question of Temperature"

[RebelOne]

4. Star Buck, "Moonlight Feels Right."

The group was a one-hit wonder anyway. I think that was their only hit.

[Richardo]

5. ELO - "Mr. Blue Sky"

That's it for Jeff Lynne and the boys.

[BrotherBuzz]

6. Blues Image - Ride Captain Ride

[qnr]

29. Well, there weren't a whole lot of other options, if you didn't own the

album :)

[BrotherBuzz]

45. Back in those days we still had 45's, don't you know?

Extra credit if you can remember what's on the 'B' side. ;)

[qnr]

46. If I remember correctly, it was Pay My Dues (I'm a former coastie, and

supposedly the song was about the USCGC Resolute (but I never really researched it)).

[BrotherBuzz]

47. I can't dispute that, LOL

More extra credit: What was the name of the Captain that many think 'Ride Captain Ride' was about, what was the name of the ship, and what's historically incorrect about the lyrics?

Jeez, we're developing a nautical theme. :rofl:

[kwolf68]

8. uhhh...

-Warrant (Uncle Toms Cabin)
-Chevelle (The Red)
-Slipknot (Duality)

[southpaw]

9. ...

Was (Not Was) - 'Walk the Dinosaur'
Martin Briley - 'Salt in my Tears'

[Common Sense Party]

13. "Salt in My Tears" is one of my all-time favorite songs.

A great breakup/piss-off song.

[southpaw]

14. It's a classic...

Forgotten by most.

I nearly Added Tommy Tutone's "867-5309 (Jenny)" but I don't like that song... so that's out.

[Common Sense Party]

17. I just watched the "Salt in My Tears" video on YouTube.

Haven't seen it in years:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNDdB95a_w4

Still funny, even though I can't figure out the beret thing.

[taterguy]

11. Goldfinger Here In Your Bedroom

They were one of those alt-rock bands from the mid-90s. The song perfectly captured something that was going on with me at the time. A radio station had a booth and offered me the CD of my choice. I picked theirs up but think I only listened to it once. The rest was utter derivative crap.

[catbert836]

15. The Eagles - Desperado

[Common Sense Party]

19. Really? That's the ONLY song of theirs you like? Wow. nt

[catbert836]

40. Yes.

There's probably no classic rock song I hate more than "Hotel California", and all the rest of their stuff is a cross between bad country and black-hole-of-the-seventies pop.

[Ramsey]

16. Drivin and Cryin

Fly Me Courageous

BTW, The Visitors is a GREAT song!!

[Common Sense Party]

18. Have you ever heard "Honeysuckle Blue" by DnC?

I love that song.

[Ramsey]

21. Don't think I know that one

I'll have to give it a listen, maybe they won't be my one song wonder anymore :-)

[Common Sense Party]

31. It's one of my favorite power-chord-turn-up-the-volume tunes.

Kind of southern-folk-rock to start with, then BAM! the power chords crank up and blow you away.

Here they are playing it live on YouTube. I like the studio version better, but this is still good:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6CDf_eYWPY

[Ramsey]

22. Also- Moving Pictures -What About Me

This must be a very obscure song because I haven't been able to find it for purchase on the internets.

[southpaw]

23. I remember that one!

Wow, I probably haven't heard (or thought about) that song in over a decade, but as soon as I read your post I could hear the chorus.

Memorable song, that!

[Guava Jelly]

41. i used to love that song!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TdmBxwUMqs
here it is on youtube

[Ramsey]

48. Wow, thanks!

I haven't heard that song in ages, never thought to check on YouTube!

[SKKY]

25. You didn't like Build a Fire? I dig Drivin' and Cryin...

But Scarred but smarter is my personal fave...

[Ramsey]

30. I think I only know the one song!

Sounds like I should check out the rest of the oeuvre.

[SKKY]

33. Here's their "hits", IMHO...

1. Scarred by smarter.
2. Build a fire.
3. Fly me courageous.
4. Let's go dancin.
5. The Whisper tames the lion.
6. Look what you've done to your brother.

Check them out. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. In my opinion, Drivin and Cryin is the
quintessential "college band".

[Joe Fields]

24. "Captain Jack"(Billy Joel), "Nostradamus,"(Al Stewart) Rebel,Rebel,

by David Bowie, to name a few.

[SKKY]

27. It took some scanning of my Creative Zen to find this one...

...but "Brick" by Ben Folds Five is my nomination.

[Throd]

28. "London Calling" by The Clash

A truly great song. The rest of their stuff leaves me indifferent at best.

[Ramsey]

32. Train in Vain!!!

Rockin the Casbah
Should I Stay or Should I Go
Radio Clash

And so many other great songs....

[Throd]

37. No, those were all poop.

I preferred UK Subs, Discharge, Sex Pistols, English Dogs, Subhumans and all that other angry stuff.

The Clash was way too wimpy for my tastes.

[asthmaticeog]

36. Pearl Jam, "Hail Hail."

The rest of their dubious ouvre can tongue up my starfish.

[mvd]

43. So far, I only like "Leaving So Soon?" by Keane

The rest seems mediocre to me.

[liberalhistorian]

49. The only song by Led Zeppelin that I

ever liked was "Stairway to Heaven", can't stand anything else they've done. The only Aerosmith song I can tolerate is "Dream On." I'm sure there are others, I just can't think of them right now.

[DanCa]

50. Mule Train Freddie Laine :D (nt)
