artist/band with large catalog and you only really need to hear one song by them.

Roadrunner is a bit like Teenage Kicks in that it's a song that sounds so full, such a perfect capturing of an aesthetic, that you don't feel the artist could do any better. You really can get everything you want from that artist from that one song. I've actually had the same thing with Hallogallo, rightly or wrongly.

This is Will Oldham for me, I think. "I See a Darkness" is a great song, but I could take or leave the rest. I've got three or four of his albums (none of which feature the song I actually like) and I've never really been able to connect with his stuff.

Os Mutantes - Panis et Circenses

"in the fade" by queens of the stone age is def this for me. i don't dislike them normally, but i'm not especially interested either. that song though... i know it forwards+backwards. hasn't gotten old yet.

(also maybe a good indicator that it's a very unrepresentative song for them!)

“You Shook Me All Night Long.” There’s a couple other AC/DC songs I don’t mind hearing from time to time, but despite not being much of a fan this one always hits the spot.

^yeah, that's a good call... that song is on another level

Austin, thanks for this... I had never heard that song. What a guitar sound!

Not sure they've reached "large catalog" status yet, but they're getting there, and I'm pretty sure "Highway Tune" is the only track I will ever need to hear from them.

I feel like "X-French Tee Shirt" by Shudder To Think is one of these.

by far one of the worst opinions i have ever read on this board

my own xp - I was referring to Greta Van Fleet!

I've listened to that QOTSA track like six times now... what an absolute jam

Pet Shop Boys - What Have I Done to Deserve This?

Of course, there's a ringer in that song, so maybe my answer is really NO Pet Shop Boys.

adam ant's "stand and deliver"
