Best One Hit Wonder Song

[August_West]

Just bustin your balls pal.

How was that busting my balls? I don't care if they had a hit or not. In fact when they did have a top 10 hit in in 1987 , the 1987 precursor of millennials came out and ruined the whole scene.

 

[Robertelamin]

Well clearly a nerve was touched. I apologize. I agree that millennials ruined music and everything else though.

 

[superjohn]

Probably shouldn't be considered a one hit wonder because they've had success overseas, one of my all-time favorite songs.

 

[superjohn]

Same goes for these guys...

Wasn’t Touch of Gray their only Top 40 hit?

Wasn’t Touch of Gray their only Top 40 hit?

Yes, thank god.

 

[storrsroars]

Great song

I can understand ABBA. But Brandy? Cripes, when I was 16 I couldn't turn the knob fast enough to make it go away.

(The Church, "Under the Milky Way")

Speaking of one-hit wonders and bands with Church in the name... they had a few minor hits in UK/Canada, but this is the only song I recall making it to MTV. Still have vinyl of this gem...



Stiv Bators onstage antics were legendary. He actually was clinically dead for a few minutes during one performance.

Not a one-hit wonder, but I was shocked to hear Dolores O'Riordan died (Cranberries). Haven't announced cause of death but she had horrible back pain, so I wouldn't be surprised if was same deal as Prince. Loved her voice and power.

Zombies by The Cranberries. RIP Dolores O’Riordan. She was their lead singer and passed away today at the age of 46. This song epitomized the grunge movement of the early 90’s.

Yeah because it seems she and prince were taking narcotics for pain management

You know it hurts when you stop taking them.

 

[August_West]

You know it hurts when you stop taking them.

Indeed

 

[Jarhead_1775]

That wasn't even their biggest hit. Not even close actually

At least take the bait, man! We all know it’s this one:

Her voice was incredible.

Connecticut's own, strange looking dudes.

Musicians...getting ugly guys laid since forever.

Speaking of pain. Miracles was technically the only charting song for Jefferson Starship.

After they dropped the Jefferson part of the name they had 3 top ten singles including We Built This City (which gives Miracles a run for it’s money.)

Jefferson Airplane also charted before Jorma and Jack left to form Hot Tuna and Jefferson Starship rose from the ashes with Marty Balin at the helm despite the limitations he put on the band due to (ironically enough) fear of airplanes.

Didnt "Count on Me" chart?
