Your Favourite One Hit Wonders - sean.bonner - 01-09-2008

Has there ever been a one hit wonder that just have some other songs that you love? Or some that still put out albums that you see yourself getting a hold of one way or another?

I'd say my one-hit-wonder guilty pleasure are the Presidents Of The United States Of America. A few of their albums still spin for my ears quite frequently.

But lately, I've been listening to a lot of the New Radicals.

They have this "other" song called, "Mother, We Just Can't Get Enough", and it has got to be one of the catchiest tunes I've ever heard.

Any one else heard that song?

What are your one-hit-wonder pleasures?

Basically the entire 80's was a one-hit wonder.

Some great songs from a nostalgia point of view, but that's about it.

I Ran-Flock of Seagulls
Come on Eileen-Dexy's Midnight Runners
Video Killed the Radio Star-The Buggles
Take on Me-AHa
Melt with you-Modern English

.....and many more, but I'm too ashamed to continue admitting I like these songs

I've re-read what you wrote three times now, and all I see is "...this was actually my porn theme some 22 years ago" :lol:

That album is pretty strong all the way through really, I have it.

Back when I was young and didn't know what the hell I was doing, I made some curious music purchases. I remember listening to the Spin Doctors for one. Yikes. I also remember listening to a cassette of Roxette. I got older and realized the error of my ways. Big Grin

I can't say that I have a favourite one hit wonder because I stopped listening to those songs and bands as I got older and wiser. Big Grin
