Love One Song---Hate the Rest
« on: 7 Feb 2016, 01:45 am »
OK, I'm bored.  Searching forums and Amazon for new music suggestions. I just revisited artists who have one song I love but can't stand the rest of their music and can't bring myself to even spend single digits for a CD with only one song I want. I dub them "one hit wonders" at least from my perspective.  I know some are well liked. I am also doubting the quality of the recordings since they are all bordering on ancient.

Here is my list of tracks I want good copies of but can't stand the rest of the artists offerings.  What songs are on yours?

The Bangles  "Hazy Shade of Winter"
J.D. Souther "You're Only Lonely"
Joan Armatrading "Down to the Bone" Down to Zero
Musica Nuda "Eleanor Rigby"

How's about you catch a plane and come see me.  Bet I can expand your horizons alright.

Joan Armatrading "Down to the Bone"
I did not find this song on goog.
It would not be ''Down to Zero''?

It would be cheaper for you to send me a USB stick.  :thumb:

The horror!  You don't like "Fools Gold" even?

Ah well, I understand that it's not for everyone.  I own most of their catalog, and like about half.   Something about the Squire guitar work did it for me. 

I will offer up GNR - "I used to love her" as their single musical contribution.  I bet others disagree.

The Hollies', "Long Cool Woman", on any/every album they've released.
Love the song, hate all the rest of their material.

Sheryl Crow - All I Wanna Do

Not a huge fan of hers, but in addition to that song, the live version of "If it makes you happy" is a stunner.  On a good setup, the tone and purity of her voice I find captivating.
