    I’m even more mad when it’s a single song from 1 artist that is just different from their usual. Nothing else they do is similar and you’ll never get more hahah. It makes the song special but still.

    Dora Jar - Did I Get It Wrong, comes to mind.

      Back in the 1900s, I bought the Smash Mouth CD simply because I liked Walking On The Sun.

      That was a mistake.

      There is danger the other way as well. You hear a song, and you like it, but it turns out everything the artist does is so samey that there was no reason at all to listen to any of the rest of the album or discography. 90s me can think of Live’s Throwing Copper and the collected works of Hootie & the Blowfish, and 2010s me remembers Mumford & Sons.

        So true. All 3 of those are great examples too. I can barely pick out a song from any of them, but you won’t need to lol.
