personal one hit wonders...

What songs do you think are amazing by a band and you think everyone must here it, but you don't like any other songs by them. For example a random mp3 pulled off the internet or when you buy an album and there is one great song but the rest doesn't do anything for you.

Some for me:

far 'mother mary'
adorable 'homeboy'
meligrove band 'all the moves'
the impossibles 'hey you kids'
meatpuppets 'comin down'
black cat music 'wine in a box'
burning airlines 'flood of a foreign capital'
butterfingers 'naive sick chasm'

Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger
Popular by Nada Surf
Ready to Go by Republica

just a few that I know I bought the CD on the strength of the single....bad Cash....Bad.

I now invoke the 3 song minimum.

I wouldve said 'popular' too except they've a great song called 'detachable penis' and that would make them a two-hit wonder in my book.

Dude! that was King Missle, not Nada Surf

"amelia" by kleenex girl wonder. They do all sorts of odd stuff, some of it really good, but rarely consistently good. "Amelia" is an amazingly perfect pop gem.

Damn, you're right. I just checked it out, and it looks like it was king missle. I've never even heard of them. All my nada surf stuff was downloaded off napster and songs off that shit was often mislabeled.

fuck napster. RIP.

The Primitives - Crash
Kittie Cat Stew - Sexy Boy

the first track off the brmc album. everything else is shit.

the Primitives? oh, no way! Their second album is great, way better than the s/t, have you heard it? Unless you're just decrying that particular song.
