Artists you couldnt name a single song by
Paolo Nutini was on the radio a while back, and i realized, that whilst he must be successful to be going this long, i couldn't tell you a single song he has released.
Are there any artists that you'd be in a similar position with? |

Well, if you go back to, say, the 50s, then thousands.

Louise Redknapp had nine top ten solo singles. Try getting anyone to name even one of them. (sadly I'd be able to mostly because I just looked up how many she had)
From the top of my head I can't think of many for Pink Floyd or The Who. Think The Who did a song called 'Who Are You' (erm maybe?) and could only name Another Brick In The Wall and Comfortably Numb for the other group. |

Probably thousands! If you think about it there are lots of genres of music you are not interested in and therefore wouldn't know many songs. Also acts from other countries who you might never have heard of.
Or do you just mean artists that are popular in this country and played on the radio? |

Barbara Streisand is one. Whitney Houston I could name I Will Always Love You and I Wanna Dance With Somebody and that's it. Cher I could name Believe and Gypsies Tramps and Thieves and that's it. All these ladies have had long careers and lots of success yet that's all I've come away with.

Probably 99% of the artists who have released songs in the last 5 years. I steer clear of what is being passed as music these days.

That ginger haired fella who plays the guitar ( not only do I not know his songs, I don't know his name either ) or any of the plethora of musicians of his ilk who seem to have dominated the music scene over the past 10 years.
