The one song you love by a band you generally dislike

[EoinMcLovesCakeJumper]

As the title suggests! Are there any bands that you really can't stand most of the time, but they have just one song that you inexplicably love?

Most of mine involve dull, landfill indie bands:

Somewhere Only We Know by Keane
El Salvador by Athlete
Golden Touch by Razorlight
Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chilli Peppers

I was going to add something by U2 but then realised that I like at least five of their songs, so evidently I don't hate them as much as I thought I did

One hit wonders don't count, btw!

Motorcycle Emptiness - Can't stand the Manic street Preachers otherwise!

Nothing else matters - Metallica and Great Gig in the sky - Pink Floyd

Ohhh... I love the Manics. And Radiohead. But I'm finding myself nodding at several of the suggestions here. It does seem to have solved the mystery of Coldplay's baffling longevity, though - nobody actually likes them, but everybody likes a different one of their songs!

I also find listening to Coldplay the aural version of watching paint dry, but I find this song of theirs so life affirming and upbeat, I love it! ( bloody weird video tho...)

My U2 track is Angel of Harlem too.

I can't stand Oasis, but I love the song stop crying your heart out. I heard it at the end of the butterfly effect and loved it.

Crazy Horses by The Osmonds

Where is the love? By Black Eyed Peas
Boys of Summer by Don Henley

Crazy Horses is brilliant!
Can't stand Phil Collins but have always lived In the Air Tonight, an eighties classic!

Don't by Ed Sheeran but ONLY the Rick Ross remix with all the fucks left in

Not sure whether to trash any cool credentials I might have had, but I do like Tiger Feet by Mud...

I cannot stand Coldplay, they are too formulaic, MOR for words, but I really liked the song they did with The Chainsmokers. Probably because I really like The Chainsmokers.

I also really like World of Our Own, despite detesting Westlife

*loved not lived!

Ha I too am adding 'yellow' Coldplay.

West End Girls

Oh and Oasis 'don't look back in anger' as it reminds me of one awesome party 😬.

‘Crazy Horses’ by The Osmonds
And ‘Blinded by Your Grace’ Stormzy. I can’t say I hate his stuff it just isn’t usually on my radar, yet I love, love, love this one.

Agree with Golden Touch by Razorlight

Caught By The Fuzz by Supergrass - I just despise everything else they’ve ever done!

I love Radiohead, Pink Floyd and the Manics

This I Promise You - N'Sync. Their only decent song (only recently found out it was was written by Richard Marx). I don't hate them as such but I was always team Backstreet Boys

Goodbye Ruby Tuesday by the Stones. Don’t like anything else of theirs, but love that one.

I also randomly love Wonderman by Tinie Tempeh (sp?), even though that kind of music is very much not my thing.

I like Love Yourself. It’s a good pop song to sing along to in the car. But I’m neither a fan of Ed Sheeran nor Justin Beiber. Do I get double points?

Two Minutes Silence - John Lennon & Yoko Ono.

I find Stevie Nix's voice repellent & so by association almost all things Fleetwood Mac; can't turn off fast enough.

Except The Chain is a mighty fine song.

Speaking of 'not on my radar'... I quite liked a David Soul song I heard on radio yesterday. So I've been listening to his stuff today. He tried every genre going!!

Feel, Robbie Williams
