Ask Lemmy

Chumbawamba - Tub thumping. I had no idea they’ve always been an anarchist sea shanty band and that song was the outlier and a total piss take. I am here for it.

I never understood this bands popularity until I listened to this song

Their other songs are okay but this ones possibly one of my favorite songs of all time

Chris Isaac, Wicked Game

Rockit by Herbie Hancock. It's a great hip-hop/electronica track, but the rest of his work is mostly jazz.

25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago

Everything else is more of a soft jazz rock. But this song is such a high energy banger

Outkast - Hey Ya!

Mrs Robinson is the only other Outkast song I can stand.

Also Blur - Song 2, but in a good way. Song 2 is great, but their other music is very different but also great.

I Can't Decide

... by The Scissor Sisters

Pretty much any individual Ween song

Modern English - I Melt With You is a catchy new wave pop tune. The rest of their work is much, much darker

Mesh and Lace

@TheDoozer Last Resort - Papa Roach

The whole Gran Turismo album by The Cardigans. I was a angsty teenager, listened to that album and found it excellent for my angst sessions. Then I got all the other albums and they were not at all good for my angst sessions.

Luckily I got over myself and realized that the other albums are excellent as well, just different. Pikebubbles<3

Grateful Dead - Touch of Grey

90s glam hair rock bands all had a hit ballad, despite rock tempo wall of main sound. Then there's Extreme. "More than words" is one of the best ballads of the time. They had the glam hair look. The rest of their music is jazz fusion funk. Decent, but no real hits/bangers.

My introduction to Cake was Arco Arena.

Now I enjoy Cake, but Arco Arena is not a great representation of their music, even though that song rules in its own right.

Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen

Hoobastank, The Reason

Basically how I feel about Poppy.

She's done a few collabs that I really enjoy, like End of You with Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox and Amy Lee of Evanescence or Suffocate with Knocked Loose.

I don't think she's bad or anything, but I just don't really jibe with her work.

Morcheeba - Rome wasn't built in a day ?

I think they chose the most pop song for the single and rest of their songs are very varied and less catchy.

Peter Schilling, "Major Tom" (German and English versions).

Elbow.

I first heard their song 'grounds for divorce' which is a very cool, gospel rock kind of song and sound. Then I gotta into their you other work, which is very beautiful and ethereal.

But I kind of wish for Guy to run into new marital problems to have another song of them that goes into that darker, grittier rocking feel.

Ratatat - Cream on Chrome.

The rest of the album is fine I guess. Cream on Chrome is another level.

Love and Rockets - So Alive

Slash - Beautiful Dangerous (feat. Fergie)

I was shocked when I found it was Fergie singing. Apparently Slash thought she would make a good rock signer and wrote the specifically with her in mind. And he wasn't wrong.

Talking Heads (Once in a Lifetime) and Joy Division (Love Will Tear Us Apart)

Maybe Tomorrow by Stereophonics. That song causes a lot of frission when I hear it. Now I admit I haven’t heard their entire discography yet, but any other song of theirs I’ve listened to hasn’t given me the same effect.

The Smiths - How Soon Is Now?

Harder to Breathe by Maroon 5 got me to buy the album only to find that rest of the album was completely different.

Sugar Ray... a long time ago lol

Not so much song but album.

First, listen to Ministry - With Sympathy

Next, listen to any other ministry album

Lo Fidelity Allstars

"Battle Flag" is awesome, the rest is not for me

MGMT, although it’s more like 3 songs with a more electronic vibe and then everything else they’ve done since is pretty different. I remember them even saying they liked a different sound than what made them famous.
