Bands that are misrepresented by their most famous song (1 Viewer)

[billygannon]

Faith No More - "Easy"

 

[Anthony]

the buggles
blondie
the b-52's
sonic youth

care to ellaborate?
The Blondie one confuses me most. What is their most famous song? Denis? Hanging On The telephone?

And Sonic Youth? Most famous song? Teenage Riot? Pretty representitive no?

so many ???


edit: How long before Dudley says Queen?

 

[Zeelander]

same thing with the Beatles, really....everybody knows "Twist and Shout" but does everybody know "Happiness is a Warm Gun"?

Yes.

 

[Beanstalk]

Blur - 'Country House'

They Might Be Giants - 'Birdhouse in your Soul'
(actually a class song and a good representation of the band, but so much more to them)

I agree with the whole 'Wake up Boo' thing aswell.

well Heart of Glass, eh?

and sonic youth - well all the poppier stuff on dirty and daydream don't just represent the best efforts of the band IMO

 

[Beanstalk]

Starsailor - 4 to the Floor.

They're actually shit in real life.

 

[MDR]

Crazy frog - the album stuff is much darker and more introspective. A bit like Smog crossed with Spain.

 

[evil bandit]

For me the biggest vitcim was The La's with 'there she goes' people only know that song but their album is fucking amazing.

I suppose you could throw in Weezer with Buddy Holly or The Clash with Should I stay or should I go.

Public Image Ltd - Rise

Sex Pistols - Frigging In The Rigging

 

[Pantone247]

Word. People from thumped I have introduced to Don't Stand Me Down:

Pantone247
ramps

for which I'm forever in your debt

I've playing Searchin' For The Young Soul Rebels a lot this week

just practicing steps, keeping out of the fights

 

[karljacuncha]

well there's tina turner with 'simply the best' - coz like, she's not

there's vanilla ice with 'ice ice baby' in which he claimed to be able to glow in the dark, but as subsequent extensive testing prooved, this was untrue

and then there's that guy (r kelly? someone like that anyways) with 'i believe i can fly' - which is just stupid really as the aerodynamics of the human body are clearly not suited to self propelled flight, so you'd have to be some kind of delusional dickhead to actually believe you could fly... - oh wait yeah - maybe that one is ok

Bands that are represented perfectly by their most famous song

 

[Goodbye]

Pet Shop Boys
best british songwriting duo since Morrisey/Marr or Lennon/McCartny

 

[Stan Bowles]

Gonna get loads of shit for this, but fuck it - The Verve. Most of the 'famous' album was all about Dickie Ashcroft, and we all saw how horrible that turned out. But A Storm in Hevean and A Northern Soul rule.

" A monumentally unattractrive young man" is how Adam and Joes dad described Richard Ashcroft- which was nice


Alice Coopers "Poison" is definatley pretty weak compared to his other stuff
I was surprised at his gig when everyone started shouting for that song. But then it was his biggest hit here so....

That gig was fucking deadly! Yeah Poison certainly ain't the best tune he had/has.

same thing with the Beatles, really....everybody knows "Twist and Shout" but does everybody know "Happiness is a Warm Gun"? nope. that's why i hate everybody.

a girl i know spent a year in college doing no work, sitting around, smoking doobs, listening to tunes and having the chats. then in first her end-of-year exam, not knowing anything about anything, she sat down, wrote out the lyrics to 'happiness is a warm gun', and walked out. cool.
