Top 3 Songs that are "One Timers" (1 Viewer)

[Discus_Man]

So what are your Top 3 "One Timers". By One Timer I mean a song which is from a band/singer you don't normally listen to, yet ONE particular song from said band/singer is regularaly listened to. Mine are:

1.) Headstrong by Trapt
2.) Pretender by The Foo Fighters
3.) Overkill by Colin Hay (Scrubs anyone?? :uhhuh

Half-based by seeing other music-related topic, and thought it would be neat to see other Year 12'ers One Timers.

Underworld - Born Slippy.
Recognisable as the song from Trainspotting, though there's a good chance that, like me, you heard it before then. Apart from 'Two Months Off' this is the only Underworld song I listen to

Chris Botti ft. David Koz - Love Is On The Way
Don't listen to either of these artists really, even though they've had extensive careers. This one song though has such a great groove and melody that I just love.

Paradise Lost - Say Just Words
I've tried to get into this band more, but apart from a small selection of songs, there's not many I really like. This one gets played much more than any of the others

So yeah, there's a few to look over. I could list more, but that's a diverse selection of three to give a general idea.

Thanks for moving the thread Absolutezero .

Wow, got a lot to listen too .

Still, great to hear some not so common songs, that i'm sure many people would not know you listened to .

cough mine aren't uncommon cough

I listen to a huge amount of music, so I'm pretty broad in my tastes. I tried to pick songs that weren't just one hit wonders, but actually came from artists with a decent discography.

 

[Absolutezero]

The following three are artists I still listen to a decent amount, but the song listed is listened to a disproportionately amount more than the rest

The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize??
Uplifting, yet extremely depressing. A great mix of emotions come out of this song.

Say Hi To Your Mom - Let's Talk About Spaceships
Lyrically, I think its better than man of their other songs. And the I love the chorus.

New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle
There are a few different versions by New Order, but this is my favourite. Just real catchy Synthpop at its best

 

[Omie Jay]

universe momentum - obscura
more than gods can dream - watch me fall
into the black light - ghost brigade

 

[mitchy_boy]

The Found - Matt Zo
Carrion - Parkway Drive
Unforgettable Hope - Gammer

Did you read the first post?

"By One Timer I mean a song which is from a band/singer you don't normally listen to, yet ONE particular song from said band/singer is regularaly listened to."

 

[max ernst]

yeah it's just the phrase 'one timer' is kinda weird you know? it's like you've only listened to it once.. but whatever

Yeah, the phrase is a bit weird.

That Bad Brains one sounds pretty good. Still waiting for the other one to load.

I wish I hadn't hit my internet cap...

 

[max ernst]

ah, lame.

and that new order song you posted up ^there^ is such a jam.

 

[Absolutezero]

I've been listening to heaps of that 80's style, and modern adaptations of it. Slowly moving on to more electronic based stuff.

 

[max ernst]

werd. there are lots of indie electronic (or whatever) bands doing it. but i can't really get into them as much as bands like new order or depeche mode.

 

[Absolutezero]

Check out the Postal Service. They're the ones that got me into it. Also, New Order has a bunch of different side projects that are really good. Monaco, The Other Two, Electronic, and Bad Lieutenant are all worth listen to.
