You will be surprised how many songs from ELO you have heard.

As i was when i discovered the wifes "best of ELO" cd when i swiched the radio on in the car the other day.

So much rubbish, from only one band, amazing!

 

[SidewinderINC]

^ y'know i dont doubt that for a second!

there are quite a few bands like that really heh.

Reading this read, you get the impression that most of the songs listed are done so because they're the only song by that artist that the poster has actually heard.

'Heroes', the only great Bowie song?

'Road To Nowhere', the only amazing Talking Heads song?

'Susan's House', the best Eels song?

'Reef', actually considered music?

Hmm.

 

[Gilly]

They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse in your Soul

'Heroes', the only great Bowie song?

Yeah. The only great Bowie song is Major Tom!

 

[ElvisFan]

Yeah. The only great Bowie song is Major Tom!

You can't disregard "China Girl".

 

[Gilly]

OH YES I CAN

 

[red11]

They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse in your Soul

Good one reminds me of Top of the Pops in the early 90's hehe

 

[PardonTheWait]

Yeah. The only great Bowie song is Major Tom!

S'called Space Oddity, you smell

 

[Gilly]

S'called Space Oddity, you smell

Meh, he is/was a ****ing oddity

Seriously though, can't see why anyone liked him. My mum loved him when she was younger. Really thought he was ace.

:/

Talking Heads - Road to nowhere

I couldn't let this one go. Burning Down The House, And She Was, Once In A Lifetime, Blind, Wild Wild Life, Psycho Killer.... their greatest hits is phenomenal. I'd probably rate Road To Nowhere below the others I'd mentioned.

Hurrah, we can finally stop debating with Gilly, because he just officially gave up the right to have an opinion on anything ever again! Yay

well i can defend my comment by saying i think Road to Nowhere is an absolutely amazing song, and the others you have listed are merely average IMO of course.

I don't agree with lots of the other posts in here like Blur, Oasis and Radiohead but each to their own

 

[JimmyEatWorms]

Soul Asylum - Runaway Train

 

[JonnyGLC]

Razorlight - Somewhere Else

^^ I was singing that non-stop a while back, really got stuck in my head. The rest of their album is carp though.

'Pyscho Killer, Qu'est que ce...fafafa fafafafa!'
