Wasn't Devil's Haircut pretty big? Like, I definitely agree on Loser and Where It's At being his best, but...

Bloodhound Gang has (at least) two songs, but I guess the public isn't really divided on it since almost everyone thinks of The Bad Touch first and foremost.

Beck is one of the most prolific artists in the history of music.

The answer might be Lazy Flies by the way, but it depends on the mood.

Up All Night

Not a huge fan or anything but this newest song of his is pretty good.
It's also getting heavy airplay lately.
I doubt people KNOW it's Beck though since it sounds nothing like his older stuff.

It was only after his death that I found out how big he was, nobody I knew growing up listened to his music let alone talked about him outside of his not having a name for a while.

first of all, why is beck in quotation marks?

second of all, people know way more than 4 prince songs.

don't think there are more than 3 zappa songs "everyone knows," though, and even 3 is generous. valley girl is the obvious one, but how many people are there really who know peaches and dancin' fool?

This. Closest they came to The Bad Touch was Mope, Foxtrot Unicorn Charlie Kilo, and Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss. None of them really became that big.

Finger Eleven by Canadian standards could also include Drag You Down, First Time, and Good Times. However, in America, you pretty much only know them for One Thing and Paralyzer

Five songs posted on there appeared in the overall Billboard 100. Also Defy You made top 100 as well. Offspring isn't a 2 hit wonder

Nope. Don't even think it was a single. I like it, but I'm also an Offspring fan. (I could have written a longer list than the one I did above, but some of the singles I know of just never did anything.) Underleveled posted...
Oldies example - Dion (The Wanderer vs. Runaround Sue)

Never heard of Dion, but it makes me think of Dio, as in Ronny James. I'm sure he had other hits in his day, but all I can think of are Holy Diver and Rainbow in the Dark.
