Winchester Cathedral

New Vaudeville Band

Quintessential One Hit Wonders (Thought I would rep the 80's...the 70's are taken here...lol)

I have no idea why I love this song so much. But I do.

Yeah it's a good one I still jam it. Check out fear by blue october on youtube.

Donny Iris put on the best concert I have ever been to. He opened for Hall and Oates back in 1982, I think it was, at Blossom. His show was full of so much energy that Hall and Oates was a let down by comparison. Oh, and he was actually a 2 hit wonder:

My first concert. James Gang, Humble Pie and Babe Ruth....





As many of you know, the James Gang doesn't fit the one hit wonder category. Humble Pie is a close call but I think it fits.

Come on Eileen is a classic ... unless your name is Eileen :0

And also reminds me of Tommy Boy

The Choir

It's Cold Outside

Well, there is Falco.



Who can forget Mickey



A forgotten song I used to play in the juke box at the Ground Round while closing or opening.



One more for now.

Hey Mickey was on our high school warm up track (no idea why) ... I cant hear it without reminiscing haha

Yeah...I know about Love is like a Rock...I always waver back and forth on that one as to if it was a real hit or not...LOL

I understand he still has performances going on in Youngstown and Pittsburgh...Akron...mostly in that NE Ohio / West Penn corridor...

His shows on the "King Cool" tour would be socially unacceptable today. lol

Rockin Robin

Bobby Day

Awe, love Rockin Robin ... didn’t realize he only had that one sont

Blind Melon

No Rain

Big Country

In a Big Country

No talent.

That may have been their solo hit but man the rest of that album is amazing. It sounds nothing like No Rain. Good southern sounding 90’s post grunge rock. The album is one of my ‘stranded on an island albums’. I can go back to it over and over and over.

My offering for one a hit wonder is All for You by Sister Hazel. I bought the album after it came out and was happily surprised at the rest of it. All for You becoming one of my least favorite songs on the album.

They got plenty of radio play on a few songs. Their biggest hit was probably Hook.

Devo

Whip It

off their second album...

90's one hit wonder

I used to like Blind Melon (that album was good)

What about Aqua, who got sued by Mattell for Barbie Girl?
That's a silly pop song I loved back then.....

Man, I haven't listened to that Sister Hazel album in forever. This was another really good song from them.



I got turned on to bands like Sister Hazel, Candlebox, and others at this bar I used to go to ... a long, long time ago. It was just a dive, but the manager/bartender kept a really eclectic mix of old and new on the jukebox, and she sucked at waiting for people to play it. lol

I pulled out the Sister Hazel album a couple weeks back for the first time in a few years. It’s a good listen.

That’s from their first album. Same as No Rain.
They only put out two albums, self titled... aka the Bumblebee Girl album, and then Soup. After Shannon Hoon died from an overdose the band released Nico. A collection of unreleased tracks and vocal studio out takes that the band went back and added instruments to. There’s some great stuff on all three of those albums. Some especially heartfelt tracks from someone struggling with his addiction. Songs like Soul One, Mouthful of Cavities, and Soup...
I really dug Blind Melon when they were around. Shannon's death sucked.

How about Billy and the Beaters ...... (not Billy Vera alone)

I can't remember if this one has been mentioned or not .....



How about Reunion:

The Bay City Rollers actually spun off a couple of one hit wonders in:



And

Some of their members also joined The Alan Parson's Project.

Laugh, Laugh by The Beau Brummels

I really like that entire Blind Melon album too. Some great tracks on it. My faves being 'I Wonder' and 'Sleepyhouse'.

Nice one. Not many will know them, and this is their one hit they left behind, but they do have a couple of fantastic albums ('Triangle' and 'Bradley's Barn') that are absolute gems.

Whenever I hear it, I think of the movie Uncle Buck

When I hear "Beau Brummel", I think of Billy Joel's "It's still rock and roll to me".

You asked for it, etc, etc........Toyota!

Thanks TT

Does this theme song count as a one hit wonder? Probably not. Regardless, are you old enough to remember it?
