Metallica- any actual fan of metallica would choose Puppets or Fade to Black over Enter Sandman any day Who are these "actual" fans you speak of? Just becuase it's your opinion, it doesn't make it a fact. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks. Black sabbath- Children of the grave better song than ironman or paranoid. Yeah, but Heaven and Hell is the penultimate Black Sabbath song, IMO.

Right Said Fred. "I'm Too Sexy" is their big hit, but really their whole catalog is fantastic. Don't Talk Just Kiss was so perfectly balanced it should be studied in Bobby McFerrin's class

Closer - by Nine Inch Nails. Instrumentally it's f***ing awesome and while I don't dislike the lyrics, it's a pretty dumb song lyrically. Though, it fits within the context of the albums concept. The worst part is that so many people call the song (and believe the song is titled) "F**k You Like an Animal". Truly an awful song, considering that there are better songs from NiN like this one: I don't think it's anywhere near an "awful song", but yeah, it's not one of the best NIN songs in existence. I still think it's great.

Oh, and not a fan, but I assume Primus and "Veronica's Big Brown Beaver" must fit in here. I don't know a single other tune of theirs. It depends on your definition of biggest hit. The song you listed actually got the highest rankings on the overall charts, apparently, but I would say that several songs of theirs are far better known. Johnny was a Racecar Driver, Tommy the Cat, My Name is Mud, Mr. Kringle, and Lacquer Head all are more memorable, I think, but I did enjoy the hell out of that video. Wanna throw John The Fisherman in there as well.

Metallica- any actual fan of metallica would choose Puppets or Fade to Black over Enter Sandman any day Huh, and to think all this time I was under the impression that I was an actual fan of the band. Glad that's been cleared up.

My Dingaling for Chuck Berry I think Roll Over Beethoven, Johnny B Goode, No Particular Place to go and Maybellene are just as well known as My Ding a Ling. You Never Can Tell is pretty well known know after it was used in Pulp Fiction. Although My Ding a Ling is very well known too. My Ding a Ling is the only Chuck Berry single to hit #1 on Billboard's Hot 100.

That stupid "Mmmmh Mmmmh" song by Crash Test Dummies is the only song I can think of by them, and it's an incredibly awful song. The only other songs of theirs I know are God Shuffled His Feet and Afternoons & Coffespoons, both being far better. A&C is actually one of my all time favourites.
