(Finished May 19th, 2019) That One Band.....That One Song, Part 1

Hello,

I updated this as the Smiths video expired.

This is a blog about a band and the first song you think of when you hear that bands name. For example when most people hear "Led Zeppelin", they think "Stairway To Heaven". For me I think "Whole Lotta Love". With this blog I'll mention a band and then the song I think of when I think of that band.

1) Led Zeppelin "Whole Lotta Love":

2) Counting Crows "A Long December":

3) Rihanna "Good Girl Gone Bad":

Well duh!! 4) The Buggles "Video Killed The Radio Star":

I know, I know so obvious. But what other song are you going to think of first when you hear Night Ranger? 5) Night Ranger "Sister Christian":

Maybe someday this will change, I'm currently a big fan of "Southbound" and "Backsliding".
6) Carrie Underwood "Before He Cheats":

7) U2 "Bullet The Blue Sky":

8) Supertramp "Breakfast In America":

9) Boston "More Than A Feeling":

You don't need to fear the reaper if I'm 10) Blue Oyster Cult "Burnin' For You":

11) The Doors "The End":

12) Pink Floyd "Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2":

13) The Who "Won't Get Fooled Again":

You have no idea how much I love this song! 14) Green Day "Whatsername":

15) Skillet "Undefeated":

I love the theme of this song, love is the resistance. 16)  Muse "The Resistance":

17) Papa Roach "Last Resort":

18) Evanescence "My Immortal":

19) My Chemical Romance "Dead!":

20) Pearl Jam "Even Flow":

21) Paramore "Misery Business":

22) Kings of Leon "The Bucket":

I hate Oasis and thought they are overrated, but this song is amazing. 23) Oasis "Wonderwall":

24) Velvet Revolver "The Last Fight":

25) Stone Temple Pilots "Interstate Love Song":

If you don't agree with this "that one song" then listen to the song again.
26) Audioslave "Dandelion":

This one is tough, there could be so many songs. 27) AC/DC "You Shook Me All Night Long":

28) The Black Keys "Gold On The Ceiling":

29) Arcade Fire "Sprawl 2 "Mountains Beyond Mountains":

30) Rush "Tom Sawyer":

31) The Smiths "How Soon Is Now":

This is one of the funniest songs ever. 32) Blink-182 "All The Small Things":

They do have a lot more songs than just "Money For Nothing" ya know.
33) Dire Straits "Romeo and Juliet":

34) Journey "Stone In Love":

35) Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter":

36) Michael McDonald "I Keep Forgettin'":



37) The Black Crowes "Remedy":
