>Besides I'm not the best music connoisseur anyway
no need to tell me about that.

>It's the professional name of a solo singer. She's been involved in a whole lot of stuff of varying levels of popularity from my understanding. But Orinoco Flow and Only Time are the only things I regularly run into.
well, both songs have been spinning a lot on the radio so keep in mind that if I don´t do it for myself, the commercial radio will do it for me.


>Orinoco Flow is special as it is in one of my earliest memories but I certainly can relate to what you say with only time.
I put it on both. While I did like many of the songs that appeared in the radio during my childhood/teen years (and I still do), I prefer not to become burned by them in the future. Though for being a "one hit wonder", she sold quite a lot of record and many artists would have liked to be in her position.

As for holding special songs in memories, I remember buying a commercial compilation because of the song Who Wants To Live Forever and having a nostalgic trip because of the song Island In the Sun when I rediscovered it on Youtube.

I have to mention though that the popular singles would so much more rewarding if the album accompanied it. I wasn´t fond on The Logical Song (Supertramp) until last year and listening to Breakfast in America entirely changed my mind completely about the band and the popular hit had more impact within its context in the album, so in a way, listening to those popular songs on your own when you want them to hear them...are more rewarding than randomly passing by.
