This morning I heard the song Omaha by the Counting Crows for the first time in a really long time, and it made me think about songs that I love by artists whose music I normally don’t enjoy. Omaha is the only Counting Crows’ song I have ever heard that I actually like. I said something similar recently about Kelly Clarkson’s Stronger. Songs like these are special to me because they stand out in ways that songs I like by artists I like as a general rule just don’t. I spent the morning coming up with other songs that to the best of my knowledge are the only ones by particular artists that I enjoy listening to. So far I’ve come up with the following:

• Omaha by The Counting Crows
• Heavy by Collective Soul
• Stronger by Kelly Clarkson
• Every Teardrop is a Waterfall by Coldplay
• Strong Enough by Sheryl Crow
• Sour Girl by Stone Temple Pilots
• High and Dry by Radiohead

What songs do you like by artists whose music you generally don’t enjoy?
