It's happened to us all: you come across a band that, in general, you hate. But they have one song that you really like. Post those songs here. Mine are:
Blink 182: Staying Together for the Kids
Slipknot: Pulse of the Maggots
Emperor: With Strength I Burn
Led Zeppelin: Whole Lotta Love
I considered saying Green Day: Boulevard of Broken Dreams, but I decided not to. I don't really like Green Day, but they don't suck either.

Weell... can't think of any off the top of my head... Um... bands that form off of reality TV gameshows are one hit wonders in the sense that they make one song, then you never hear them again. When I was younger... much, much younger. Like, 5 years ago, Papa Roach, Alien Ant Farm, Limp Bizkit and Slipknot all fell under that category. I heard one song, liked it, heard the album, couldn't stand it.

I know, I know. Just nod your head and smile. As for a one hit wonder for me, it would have to be from a band called Harvey Danger. I know very little about the group except for the fact that they made a song called Flagpole Sitter, and it's awesome.

Whoa whoa whoa... So...are we just saying bands where we only like one of their songs? Or are we talking about ACTUAL one hit wonders? Because ZEPPELIN AREN'T ONE HIT WONDERS!!!!! gah! Um..I can't think of anyone where I only like one song..at the moment.

Ummm.... Crash Test Dummies--their only song I can recall is "Mmm Mmm Mmm" (yes, that's the name of the song... ) Thin Lizzy--most people only know this band for "The Boys Are Back in Town" WhiteSnake--I don't know about most people, but the only song that I know them for is for "Here I go Again"

Alright I thought of one.
"Cannonball" - The Breeders
It's from Pixies bassist Kim Deal's band, and it's like the only song they're known for. If you listen to it you'll recognize it.

You mean bands that you only like one hit from them, not one-hit-wonders. One-hit-wonders are bands that are only remembered for ONE song, and after that they are forgotten.
But I guess a band that I only like one song from would be........Lit or Blink 182.

One hit wonders..Yep, I know of one..though this guy falls into the category of actual one hit wonder, not the "I only like one song from this band" type..(And that was not meant sarcastically or offensively, btw) If anybody listens to any country AT ALL, you might remember a few years ago when Billy Gilman came out with his single hit - One Voice....and that was it, lol. I've got that one cd and actually love it to pieces, listen to it still every now and again...but as far as the radio goes..that one song was all he got out..

This thread is all about YOUR opinion, not popularity. It's songs where you like that one song, but hate the band in general, that's what I'm talking about. I didn't realise there was actually a musical term "one hit wonders." I pay no attention to the charts.
OK, I have a couple more more:
Limp Bizkit - Take a Look
Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
