For example, I first heard Suburban Legends - Polyester, so I went to check Suburban Legends and they were just a regular ska band.
What’s your “that song was great, I wish the band did more of that” song and band?
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.
Sugar Ray… a long time ago lol
Before or after their switch?
Before
Tamaki Miura, Ryukichi Sawada - O-edo Nihon-bashi (before 1925)
A recording by Japan’s first international opera singer and a professional pianist.
The original piece is a folk song, but the arrangement by pianist Ryukichi Sawada is ingenious, allowing listeners to hear rhythmic expressions comparable to modern rock and roll.
Due to Sawada’s early death, the number of his known works is limited, and there are virtually no other works of this kind of vocal music.
Recently, Sawada’s music has been reissued under the revival label Sakuraphone.
Picked up the 2 newest albums by Tinsley Ellis, turns out, these acoustic records are COMPLETELY different from everything he did before, notably playing electric but also with a full band.

Came across Avalon Emerson recently with the song Written Into Changes but nothing hits that same vibe. I like some of the other tracks but this one really does it for me
I would get roasted for this in some places, but BTS. I love Not Today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DwzBICPhdM …but most of their songs don’t sound like that. In fact, I haven’t found any that have. Dynamite is okay, but it’s not their song. It was written for them, and it’s 100% in English. It was made for the western market. Not Today is their song (one of them, I mean) and it’s amazing. I’ve tried to listen to others, and none of them hit quite the same, that I’ve heard yet.
That said, if you don’t like or don’t get BTS, but you liked the K-Pop in Kpop Demon Hunters, you might like Not Today… and also K/DA, the cartoon band Riot Games created for League of Legends (with songs like Pop/Stars and The Baddest) — in fact, I think K/DA might be the direct inspiration for HUNTR/X, along with TWICE (who appear on the soundtrack and are referenced in an Easter egg — the song that plays when they go up to their penthouse (“Strategy”) is the one their song Golden knocks off the top of the charts).
Dethroned by Bad Omens
That song drew me into their other music, which I liked, but just wasn’t on the same level. Artificial Suicide comes closest but still doesn’t go as hard as Dethroned.
The Killers - All These Things I’ve Done
Still not a fan of the band but love the song after many years.
Pretty much any individual Ween song
Ween is a truly mixed bag
The La’s - There She Goes
Pretty much everyone knows this song and they’re considered a one-hit wonder, but that album thoroughly impressed me and I’d say There She Goes is one of my least favorite songs of theirs. The rest are still catchy as hell but the lyrics aren’t quite as accessible, hence the “singular success”.
the songwriter also had terrible bouts of perfectionism, it took forever just to get him to okay that albums release
He actually never okay-ed it and wasn’t a fan of it (source).
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
Hmmm
Something something username or whatever
As a teen I loved Family Reunion by them. Basically a pop-punk cover of George Carlin’s 7 words you can’t say on television
This should become the new rickroll.
Puscifier - Conditions of My Parole fucking slaps. But the rest of their stuff is nothing like that.
I have one by them too but it’s Personal Prometheus
I love Bullet Train to Iowa, great song. Apocalyptica is another great one. But yeah Conditions of My Parole really doesn’t sound like their other stuff. Maynard kinda pulled the same thing with A Perfect Circle and the track The Doomed which sounds insanely epic.
I’m one of those guys who in my teens I just didn’t get Tool or A Perfect Circle. I didn’t understand why everyone loved them. But now in my 40s I get it. I love all of Maynards stuff now. Tool, Pusicifer, A Perfect Circle.
Chris Isaac, Wicked Game
Kris Delmhorst — “Short Work”
Love and Rockets - So Alive
I remember that song what else did they make?
No New Tale to Tell is a good one.
That whole album is so good though
