Artists With Just one Great Song
Just been listening to a best of collection from 70's rockers The Motors featuring the magnificent 'Airport'.
Sadly the other tracks, while in no way unpleasant, are little more than average, bog standard rockers not fit to lick 'Airport's' boots. Which other bands/ artists had that one shining moment which stood out amongst a lifetime of mediocrity? Another candidate: 'Dakota' by Stereophonics. |

Heaven - Emelie Sande
That debut song got me very excited about Emelie as I loved the 90s dance influences but then she evolved into a totally boring MOR artist. |

I think "How you remind me" is a fantastic song but everything else they have released is a bit bland. |

Ben E King had more solo hits, eg 'Don't Play That Song' but mainly he had a string of great records as lead singer of The Drifters, too many to mention !
