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
Ratatat - Cream on Chrome.
The rest of the album is fine I guess. Cream on Chrome is another level.
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
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.
It was "enjoy the ride" for me. One of my favourite songs of all time and the only Morcheeba song I listen to.
Hmmm.. Not discovered in that order, but Satyricon's Phoenix . I love their stuff, really.. but phoenix is unlike anything they've done and it's actually unlike most other stuff that I could find.. those blast beats comboed with Sivert's vocals are just... There's things that come close but nothing quite gets there.. it's so powerful and chill at the same time... Like being inside during a blizzard or something, I dunno.
A bit more on topic, however, I've recently discovered Måneskin's The loneliest and I've really enjoyed it. Went to listen to some of their other stuff and I was quite disappointed. Have only listened to like a dozen songs so maybe there's more stuff to my liking in there.. I'll say that my wife really enjoyed Coraline .. and while I didn't like it that much (especially the chorus seems kinda silly and ruins the vibe for me).. when I looked up the lyrics.. damn. Powerful stuff. Props to the guy.
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.
They did a few songs that have a catchy repetitive chorus to be fair. Mouthful of Shit for example. Just not quite to the extent of Tubthumping.
LOL!
Came to this comment section to say exactly that, just to discover it to be already the first comment!
But it's kinda the reverse thing OP had in mind, I think...
I preferred Mary Mary and it had the same problem. No others like that that I heard.
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.
I have a lot hahaha. Here are some
Bon voyage - Arbi E-girl - WASTEDJU Movezz en silencio - Cruz Cafune Deep blue (hallow remix) - jadu jadu Overthinker - INZO Paris (Zack Nicita remix) - Magic Man
One of my favourites is Punchdrunk - Vaines

What an absolute banger! Unfortunately, most of their music is mediocre at best.
Edit: I teach this song on drums on a regular basis, that's how much it slaps you in the face.
It wasn't one single song, but rather an EP: Atom Bomb by The Strike.
It's some fun, fast-paced rock, that the band played for five songs, and everything since then has been synth-pop 80s-esque throwbacks. Nothing wrong with it, I love everything they put out, but I'm still chasing that high from Atom Bomb.
I've never once heard a song and said "I need to listen to all the songs by this artist"
but I think I would be concidered an EDM normie, so I just listen to what is concidered popular in the feeds.
Being said, I have heard some songs that were dual offs at times, like there's a bunch of dubstep composers who I think fall under that where they had a real good ones and the rest are meh
This a post rock band that made the track that pulled me into jazz, yet they don't have more
Rockit by Herbie Hancock. It's a great hip-hop/electronica track, but the rest of his work is mostly jazz.
He is a jazz legend, yeah...
I never understood this bands popularity until I listened to this song
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7n7WRidwYo
Their other songs are okay but this ones possibly one of my favorite songs of all time
This should become the new rickroll.
Grateful Dead - Touch of Grey
For me it was an album, "Nothing is True & Everything is Possible" by Enter Shikari.
There are multiple songs I absolutely love from this album, but when I went to look at more of their songs, they had a completely different vibe.
Huh. I love A Flash Flood of Colour, but I dislike Nothing Is True and Everything is Possible. I thought the album was gonna be a reference to the Chaos Magic mantra "nothing is true, everything is permitted", which was famously used as part of the Assassin's Creed in the video game. I thought it was gonna be anarcho-antirealist.
But they're actually complaining about the antirealism of modern culture! They're being big authoritarian realists and having a whinge about how the zeitgeist is going antirealist! Boooo! Reactionary!
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.
As a poopy fan, I get that.
I Can't Decide
... by The Scissor Sisters
Their other music is badass though.
Love and Rockets - So Alive
The Beat - Mirror in a bathroom
"Weatherman" by Sub7even.
But while I totally loved that song, turned out I loved the rest of their stuff, which is totally different just as much.
So inside me there are two wolves:
One wishing they had done more stuff like "Weatherman".
The other one wishing they had made more stuff as on the rest of the album it was on.
Modern English - I Melt With You is a catchy new wave pop tune. The rest of their work is much, much darker
Fantasy by Aldo Nova
Oh Lord - In This Moment
The rest of their music sounds like the bdsm of music, and I'm just not into it.
My Morning Jacket - In it's Infancy (The Waterfall)
I found this song and got stoked I might have a new band to dig into. Dammit if the rest of their music isn't boring as shit. I found them so dull, I actually had to come back to this song and make sure I didn't mistake it for another band.
Same thing happened with Jesus & the Brides of Dracula - Turning Teeth
The song has a killer vibe, and then when I found out it was The Silversun Pickups I was actually bummed to know they could make such interesting music, but don't.
To be fair, Disasterpiece wrote the song, but Silversun did something with it much cooler than anything else they've written.
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.
Puscifier - Conditions of My Parole fucking slaps. But the rest of their stuff is nothing like that.
Scissor Sisters - I Can't Decide
I understand they were popular for other songs in the UK, but I was so disappointed.
The Movement - Remember
This song hit at the right time in my life and I had it practically on repeat for over a year. Rest of their stuff just didn't grab me like say practically every Stick Figure song did.
Måneskin - I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE is a total banger, but I never quite liked the rest of the album (It's all in Italian??)
