Albums you bought for 1 track

Ever bought an album on the strengh of 1 track?
This can go 2 ways,
The Gordons, Adults and children. Power punk at it's best. The rest of the album for me is boring.

Squeeze, Cool for cats. Bought a best of the Squeeze album and Cool for Cats is prob the worst song on it! Brilliant

Fuck! This makes no sense now that the 2nd post has been PD'd!

I bought a Prince Album for purple rain...the rest was shite....IMO

Agree about the Squeeze album.

I bought Meatloaf's 'Bat out of Hell' after seeing a very horny 'Paradice by the Dashboard Light' performance in Holland.

Great Album.

I bought Iron Butterfly's 'In-a-gadda-da-vida' for the title track.

Never regretted that.

I bought Chumbawamba for 'Tubthumping" and love it, some good songs and some not so good!
I love 'short term memory loss!!!

Pearl Jam for 'better man' - rest was shite.

Velvet Revolvers first for 'fall to pieces' - the rest was very average.

Audioslave for 'be yourself' the rest is excellent.

The Cranberries for 'Zombie' - great album

Andrea Corr's solo based on her 'Corrs" albums - an all round lame effort

at least she looks good in the album artwork.

Various Tom Waits and Springsteen albums, based on enjoying previous ones with mixed results......

I think it's like bikes - you really enjoyed that Honda, Suzuki, HD etc so got another Honda, Suzuki, HD etc but it just wasn't the same........ also apply the same to your love life

Worse I bought two albums trying to get one song.

Sevendust had a great song Licking Cream with Some chick from Skunk Anansie (I had to look it up), but I bought Animosity first as it had a song that shared a lyric in the title.

Either way the song is great (on Home), the rest is just drivel on both albums. Try to like it, - nah.

I hate bands that have one song that sounds like another band played it.

Even Blindspott 2nd album had one song that sounded like it came from the first outrageously good album & the rest was trash material. No wonder they broke up.

Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
Theyd all been warned
And the walls came down
They juststood there laughing
Theyre not laughing anymore
The walls came down
Sanctuary fades
Congregation splits
Nightly military raids
The congregation splits
Its a song of assassins
Ringin in your ears
We got terrorist thinking
Playing on fears
Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
Theyd all been warned
But the walls came down
I dot think there are any russians
And there aint no yanks
Just corporate criminals
Playin with tanks

Yup....group called the Skatz Brothers for a song called 'life at the outpost'....and Pete Shelley for Homosapien 11....still trying to get the 12" single of that track

**Blackbird** · 1st October 2009, 14:56

Do it a lot, especially with Mark Knopfler.

My first purchase like that was for "Desolation Row" on Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan. How many decades ago was that????

**MisterD** · 1st October 2009, 15:37

The only one I can think of is Queens of the Stone Age for this:

I did buy Nirvana's "Bleach" on the strength of Chris Cornell wearing their T-shirt though...

I have dozens. Dire Straits I agree with too.

I can still clearly remember what I was doing the first time I heard Sultans of Swing on Radio Double J as an import. Driving a Truck over Merrylands (Sydney) Railway Bridge. Stopped to listen.

The Leap was enough for Billy too.
