Ever discover/rediscover songs/artists you now love because of commercials or tv show?
Here are a few for me:
Madame - Grayson Matthews
The Way I Am - Ingrid Michealson
Grown Apart - Lisa Shaw
A Thousand Drunken Dreams - Angela McCluskey
Do You Have A Little Time - Dido
Slimcea Girl - Mono
Whatever Lola Wants - Sarah Vaughn
Maybe I'm Amazed - Jem (that's right! season 1 of the OC, the only one worth watching imo)
and there's more I'm sure.

If you think Jem's "Maybe I'm Amazed" is good, wait until you hear the version by its writer: Paul McCartney.
In any case, I can't say that I've had too many of those moments. Probably when I hear the Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin'," featuring a young Steve Winwood. More often than not, I groan because of how overused certain songs are, like the Who's "Baba O'Riley" or Queen's "You're My Best Friend." Great songs, but give them a break, you know?

That's happened to me a few times as well. The first occurrence that pops into my head was when I heard Placebo's cover version of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" in a television show (I couldn't tell you which one it is now). I had heard (of) the group before, but listening to the one song reminded me that I liked some of their others.

Lol I have heard the Paul McCartney version. I heard it before the Jem one. That song goes under the rediscover list. |
