There's plenty of one hit wonders who have no chance of another hit, but which ones deserved better? As in, their discography is great but not many people know them outside of one song?
Semisonic absolutely deserved more than just being the "Closing Time" band - "Chemistry", "DND", "FNT" are great tunes. Not sure why they were never more popular, they deserved tons of pop hits.
It's worth mentioning that some bands/artists may still qualify even if they had other hits.
For example: Kris Kross is only known for "Jump" and nothing else, but they had three additional top 20 hits, and almost nobody remembers any of them.
Even though they had multiple pop hits (four top 20 hits), Third Eye Blind seems to be only known for Semi Charmed Life by most people (well, maybe Jumper too). Their entire debut album - as well as the follow up Blue - are both 10/10 records. "Anything" is an incredible opener.
I really wonder if there’s other people except me who really love music from James Bond movies. Personally, I think that there aren’t many other songs, especially film music, that are such a piece of art. Like everything seems to harmonize and fit so well together. Whenever I don’t know what to listen to, I just head to my James Bond themed playlist. Those songs will never get old to me. They’re so timeless and classy. Sometimes I feel like James Bond music is actually quite underrated. Of course there are people that are like "yeah, that’s nice" but I refer to the ones, actually listening to it.
Here are a few songs I really adore (not ordered list):
• From Russia with Love - Matt Morno
• Thunderball - Tom Jones
• Goldeneye - Tina Turner
• License To Kill - Gladys Knight
• Tomorrow Never Dies - Sheryl Crow
• Another Way To Die - Jack White feat. Alicia Keys
• Skyfall - Adele
But there are many more that deserve their appreciation as well :)
Is there anyone who also listens to James Bond music?
These are bands/artists that, had ONE good album and then the rest of their albums are bad or mediocre?
Maybe it could be a singles band/artist who had a particularly strong album with tons of good songs, or a band/artist that didn't even make good singles and were just flat out terrible all around?
Songs About Jane by Maroon 5 would probably be the easiest and most obvious choice for most of you guys.
In my opinion, Move Along by The All-American Rejects... I wouldn't call AAR a "bad" band but they are a singles band for the most part.
But I like a good chunk of the deep cuts on Move Along - songs like Stab My Back, I'm Waiting, Night Drive, 11:11PM and Top Of The World are actually pretty solid tracks.
