crikey! some pretty bold choices there! That first bloc party album is really strong, and FFAF have some really good tracks on 7 ways and Casually Dressed. Slipknot's self titled is pretty much great from start to finish and vol. 3 is great all the way through, too.

And don't even get me started on Tool being mentioned in this thread!

Good track choices, though!
 
It's not a waste - some one-hit wonders are amazing, but I haven't had space for them until recently. Time to beef up my "odd songs" playlist :D

They were all somewhat cheeky yeah :p. Mainly I just picked stand-out tracks from albums I have (I've never been a singles fan).

Although that said, most of Slipknot's stuff really doesn't do much for me, and I just don't seem to get Tool. Love APC, love Deftones, like Stink Fist, but the rest just passes me right by. Lots of shouty german and stompy nothingness getting in the way of much-needed riffage. Tut.
 
German?! What are you on about, man? Are you thinking of Rammstein? And I don't get why Deftones are in that list, unless you're talking about Passenger.

Edit: the german thing, are you talking about the spoken word track with the recipe for brownies or something
 
Somebody once told me, the world is gonna roll me, I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.

Smash Mouth - All Star (oh good god...guilty pleasure?)
Lit - My own worst enemy
Reef - Place your hands.

It's sunny today in Brizzle, so some summery tunes! :)

how about:
faith no more - epic
house of pain - jump around
haddaway - what is love
proclaimers - i'm gonna be
edwin collins - magic piper of love
the cardigans - love fool
sugar hill gang - rappers delight (if that's what it's called)

(VH1 - 100 one hit wonders, i thank you!)

Don't forget about Apache, pure dead brilliant. Also you need to decide if you are going to listen to the full 14 minute version or the shortened 7 minute one. :)

I think these probably count as OHWs.

Phats & Small - Turn Around
Sarah Whatmore - When I Lost You (I Lost Everything)
Safri Duo - Played Alive
Clock - December '63 (Oh What A Night)
Real Life - Send Me An Angel
Ram Jam - Black Betty (or the Spiderbait version if you are that way inclined)
Fog Hat - Slow Ride
Crash Test Dummies - Mm Mm Mm
Mirwais - Disco Science
Moony - Dove (I'll Be Loving You)
Tanita Tikaram - Twist In My Sobriety (not strictly her only good song but the only one that most people will know)
Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner (perhaps even the DNA remix)

Haha that's pretty funny. Didn't even give it 0.0!

TBH I don't even like that Jet song, but it is a massive one hit wonder.

Loads more but they've probably been said.

Agreed :)

Edit: How about Refused - New Noise... I know most of their songs are good but that's the only one I remember being particularly popular.
