Are we really going to list every example of this?

That's not what was asked.

can't help but think these list questions would yield better results if the question was less "what instances can you list?" and more "what is the effect of having a snare on the 1 and what makes it sometimes work and other times reminds you of the circus?"

I'd say the snare is on the 2 in So Far because that's how it begins. The main riff, well the bulk of the song is in 7/4 over a 2/4 backbeat so you could hear it as alternating every seven beats (snare on 1 or 2) but I wouldn't say that because the 2/4 is totally steady.

I think one or two songs on Can's Delay 1968 have on-the-one snares - Butterfly and Uphill?

There must be a bunch of techno spankers with that kick / snare / clap on every beat. Can hear it in my head but all that's come to mind is Plastkman - Spastik (which has lots of snares) and Nicki Minaj - Stupid Hoe which is mainly claps rather than snares but I guess counts.

Also a lot of fast punk songs I should think.

Thank you, 'Super Bad' was the JB groove I was trying to think of for this thread.

Snare on all four beats shouldn't count, too easy.
