What would Bob Marley and the Wailers be?

One Love


Honorable mention and personal favorite: No Woman, No Cry.  I wouldn't say the popular: I Shot the Sheriff since Clapton did it with mord success.

One Love??  Who are you, the white guy with dreadlocks and an Ed Hardy shirt at a preppy New England college?

The correct answer is: Jammin’.   Waiting In Vain gets an honorable mention.




And I can't believe no one mentioned I Know What Boys Like by The Waitresses.

I am shaking with laugher right now.  "I'm The Map" will now be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.  Thanks!

The night Chicago died - whoever sang it, I'm not motivate to look it up, but I'd say it's definitely their signature song

Three Little Birds or Redemption Song would be my choice(s)

LOL.  Wasn't Jammin' his first commercial hit in the US?  I wouldn't consider mainstream America to be his sig sound.

It is totally... One Love... Heck, it is probably the national song in Jamaica...  Heck, the song goes back to ska roots.

Three Little Birds... Great song... But come on...  I would put Is This Love as more a sig sound.

Bob Marley is hard to pin considering he was right there in the creation of raggae from its ska roots... Totally has to be One Love... It predates all his other songs by 10 years or so...

I had no idea that wiki would have an entry for this.  And, I like this part:

The difference from a one-hit wonder

The term signature song is generally not applied to the successful song of a so-called one-hit wonder, an artist who is closely identified with one song because they have had no other successful songs

So, stop with your I Ran By Flock of Seagulls crap!

A Flock of Seagulls had another hit:  Space Age Love Song.

I never heard of that nor the "other" Men without Hats song that Joe mentioned.

[jboyst62]

Did anyone say Phil Collins - Coming In The Air Tonight?

[bbb]

No.  You got that right for sure.

And it was a much better song than I Ran.  

Flock of Seagulls was not a one hit wonder.   'Cars' by Gary Numan was a one hit wonder.

Kinda catchy. They also show real awareness of china, talking about the cultural revolution's gang of four and calls for revolution which pre-dated tieneman square by almost 20 years
