...you haven’t taken the time to dive into their catalogue for whatever reason.

Toto - Africa

One of my favorites. It’s never gotten old for me but I’ve never had the desire to listen to any other song by them.

Are you saying you’ve never heard a Toto song besides Africa?

As far as I know? I’ve never sought one out.

I don't think that's unusual.

Ok. I know these songs. Never associated with Toto.

It’s not even about whether you’ve happened to hear more than one of a said artists songs; it’s about whether you’ve intentionally explored their body of work after falling for a particular song. Considering that’s how we discover new music typically.

Mazzy Star for sure. Fade Into You is a beautiful song and one that I would consider part of the definitive "alternative" sound of the 90s, but there is nothing in it to make me want more.

Yeah Mazzy Star for me too. Also Squeeze.

What song did Squeeze even do, anyway?

Oh, that one.

I feel like there's going to be a lot of crossover between this thread and whatever one hit wonder thread(s) we have if we're not careful. I would only consider putting artists in this thread if the majority of music fans celebrate the artists's entire catalog while you don't. Are there a lot of hardcore Squeeze fans out there?

Yeah I've definitely heard people talk about other Squeeze songs but fucked if I've heard them.
