Singular / Iconic songs.

[copacetic]

I want to work on a playlist of songs from artists I typically don't listen to in a broad sense, but who have that one song everybody knows. Not just a list of singles though, and I would imagine this thread is basically going to boil down to 'my favourite song thread', but what the hell.

The song that got me wanting to do this:

Oasis - Wonderwall

Not a fan but definitely iconic.

Sticking with the 80's theme you've established with Golden Brown -

Tainted Love - Soft Cell
Come on, Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners
Mickey - Toni Basil
99 LuftBallons - Nena
In a Big Country - Big Country
Safety Dance - Men Without Hats
You Spin Me Round - Dead or Alive
Pass The Dutchie - Musical Youth
St Elmo's Fire - Michael Parr
Turning Japanese – The Vapors

Those are the ones I remember from my VH1 one hit wonders thing...will check my mp3 player for more.

Oasis, Queen, Bob Marley, The Beatles have lots of songs that people know, ya noobs.

Godley & Creme - Cry

That is a great, great song. I remember SABC having a cricket montage thing they used to play when it was raining set to that song...was very emotive.

Oh god, no, please don't.

Awesome - Already some stuff that will make it onto the playlist.

Yeah I remember. Have tried to find it online actually but no luck

Also, it is of course bound to be the fact that some of the artists will indeed have many well-known songs; I'm also using this as a way to possibly discover some new artists I was previously not as acquainted with as I ought to have been.
