I find with all my favourite artists that their generally accepted biggest songs are not ones I would choose to listen to. Take Peter Gabriel for example, I'm a massive fan of just about all his output, but if I never heard Sledgehammer again I wouldn't lose any sleep. Same with Chicane (Don't Give Up), Kate Bush (Running Up That Hill), Joy Division (Love Will Tear Us Apart) and even the good old Pet Shop Boys* (West End Girls... in fact I bloody hate that song).
I also find my favourite songs by these artists are not ones that other people like or sometimes even know. For example Peter Gabriel's finest hour is Wallflower from his fourth album in my opinion. Is this just me or is it a common thing with people's favourite artists?
* Yes I'm a fan.... someone has to be
