Artists who you don’t really like but who have ONE good song……
-
Self explanatory and based on a chat with @paremata in one of the other million music threads……
You know, ONE really good song, and then you come to the realisation you don’t like anything else they do.
Here’s some.
The Killers - All these things that I’ve done
UB40 - Don’t break my heart
Kings of Leon - Charmer
Cyndi Lauper - All through the night
Supertramp - Goodbye Stranger
Alison Moyet - Love resurrection -

Bruno Mars - Locked Out of Heaven
Also Creep, Radiohead's song they hate the most is my favourite of theirs.
Agree on Creep with the added bonus Thom Yorke hates it .
Was trying to remember the one Foo Fights song I like . I did remember why I don’t like them though https://medium.com/the-monthly/the-foo-fighters-aids-denialism-should-be-on-the-record-6e33666fdc3c

Ha. Can at last contribute to a Music Snob thread!
Jewell - You Were Meant For Me
Loved the radio edit, upbeat, kinda happy melodious ..
Bought the CD.
What a tucking depressing horrible self-indulgent whingefest.
Think we pretty much threw it out the car window at the third song.
Even the album version of above song made me (well both of us ) want to claw our ears off.
But do still like the version they play(ed) on the radio.

Oh, yeah.
The Runga sisters ... both one hit wonders

Yes Trailer Swift still looks great . Hers is probably the best episode of the Joe Rogan experiences too.

Alison Moyet - Love resurrectionThis one needs some thought. I actually found myself thinking of a few but then realised the songs aren't actually that good, just not as shit as you would have thought, given the artist.

Having said that - Far, Far, Away by Slade.

Lizzo - About Damn Time
S Club 7 - Don't Stop Moving
Miley Cyrus - Flowers
Barbara Streisand - Woman In Love
James Blunt - Wiseman
Disturbed - Sound Of SilenceI don’t like these guys either but Down with the sickness is a good head banger

I am surprised that this is the song. Listen to School, Crime of the Century, etc.
There are plenty of bands/solo artists I like a song of theirs but I've never heard anything else from them so that doesn't count. Nothing released in the last 20 years though.

Have searched my playlists for artists that meet the thread title and all I can come up with is a couple from a list where Paul Weller has provided songs (or collaborated with) other artists. He often hears a voice and thinks he has a song for it that he wont use himself. Neither of these are artists that I would listen to anything else of theirs.
Olly Murs - Let Me In
Gabrielle - WhyPlenty of 'one song' artists but I wouldn't say I don't really like them. They just had one song that I do like listening to and a bunch I could take or leave.
