What band do you really only like one of their songs?
Not a one hit wonder, of course, but a band that you just can't get into more than the one song you first heard.

I've got a few:

Blue October, "Hate Me" Like the song, don't like any of their other stuff.
Coldplay, "Viva La Vida" Their other stuff doesn't even sound like that song.
Sparks, "Eaten By the Monster Of Love" Experimental band I just can't get into except for that song.

1. Bruce & the E-Street Band - Wait a minute.
I don't actually LIKE any of their songs. The band is great. If only they could get a lead who could sing.

Never mind.

3. Metallica, "For Whom the Bell Tolls"
Most of Metallica's catalogue I'm firmly in the take it or leave it catagory. I don't dislike it, but "meh" pretty much sums it up.

But I do love "For Whom the Bell Tolls". Great, awesome, heart pounding intro. Great guitar work.

8. Duran Duran
The only song of theirs I like is on their Wedding Album-the one they made in 1993 after being broke up for years.
The song is "Ordinary World". Their 80's songs all sounded the same to me, I just was not into them.

10. U2 - "Elevation"
That song rocks; the rest of their stuff is just OK, in my opinion.

12. Collective Soul - "Shine", Red Hot Chili Peppers -"Soul to Squeeze".
I respect both bands as musicians, just didn't much care for any of their other works.
