When your favorite song by an artist isn’t their biggest hit

Music Is Life

Music discussion on this sub got me thinking about songs from the 80s and early 90s that I really liked. It occurred to me that there were times my favorite song by an artist wasn’t the one that was a huge hit. Like Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians had a hit with “What I Am”, but I like “Love Like We Do” way more. Another is Thomas Dolby. He had a mainstream hit with “She Blinded Me With Science, and while I like that song, I like “Europa and the Pirate Twins” much better. Anyone else have a similar experience?
