Which bands do you know every song by?

Great song choices, but Ya want New Wave? Well, let’s talk about it. Let’s see, when MTV started…U-2, The Clash, Blondie, The Ramones…

Damn, that was a long, long time ago!

NIN
The Cure
Dylan
The Who
The Stones
The Smiths
Leonard Cohen

:dubious:

Let’s see…

Every word (well, the intelligible ones) of every song off every album AND every weird little bootleg: R.E.M.

Every word of every officially released song:
The Police
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Nirvana
Talking Heads
Liz Phair

If this were still 1981, I could add Steely Dan, Neil Young, and probably a few others to my list. As it is, well, you lose touch.

CCR

Toad the Wet Sprocket (I think I’ve heard and know every song they’ve ever recorded, not just the ones on albums)

Nirvana

Soundgarden (All but the Screaming Life/Fopp stuff, which I only know a little)

Barenaked Ladies (~97%)

Getting there with Radiohead
If I can’t now, there was probably a time when I could’ve guessed anything by Soundgarden (and maybe Alice in Chains) after a few notes

Beatles
Who
Rolling Stones
Led Zeppelin
Sex Pistols (not very hard, I know)
Elvis Costello
Clash
Nirvana
Public Enemy
De La Soul
Soundgarden
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Placebo
(London) Suede
Rufus Wainwright

The Catherine Wheel
Killing Joke
Died Pretty
Powderfinger
The Panics

Wow. Probably the only band I know every single song by, officially and unofficially, would be Belle and Sebastian, and even then, I haven’t listened enough to the Peel Christmas Party to know every one of those Christmas songs.

I know most of Talking Heads except for about half of the Naked album. Blegh.

I think I know all of the songs by The Soft Boys.

(These aren’t counting The Shins, who only have one album and a few EPs, or The Vaselines, with one compilation.)
