I wanted to know some of your favorite one hit wonders. I'll start with one of my favorite songs.
"Possum Kingdom"-The Toadies
The Toadies got airplay on pretty much this song alone. The whole Possum Kingdom album is good, though. Definitely one of my top picks. |

Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel
That is kind of the problem with the "One Hit Wonder" label. Groups that may be a one hit wonder in one place may be quite successful in another. Here groups like Mungo Jerry and Status Quo are one hit wonders
Yet the Status Quo
...have recorded over 60 chart hits in the UK— more than any other rock group in history. And Mungo Jerry
UK singles chart discography
* "In the Summertime" - 1970 - No. 1 * "Baby Jump" - 1971 - No. 1 * "Lady Rose" - 1971 - No. 5 * "You Don't Have to be in The Army To Fight in The War" - 1971 - No. 13 * "Open Up" - 1972 - No. 21 * "Alright Alright Alright" - 1973 - No. 3 * "Wild Love" - 1973 - No. 32 * "Long Legged Woman Dressed In Black" - 1974 - No. 13 * "In the Summertime '87" - 1987 - Number 1 (Indie Charts/ as 'Mungo Jerry & Brothers Grimm') * "Prospects" - 1985 - No. 35 (as 'Made in England') * "Support The Toon - It's Your Duty" (EP incl. 'Toon Army') - 1999 - No. 57 That said, my favorite one hit wonder would probably be The Balloon Farm - Question of Temperature.

"Steal My Sunshine" by Len, "Scooby Snacks" by Fun Loving Criminals, "In the Meantime" by Spacehogs, "Bohemian Like You" by The Dandy Warhols, "Novacaine for the Soul" by the Eels, "One Headlight" by The Wallflowers, "Boyz in the Hood" by Dynamite Hack, "Standing Outside a Broken Phonebooth" by Primitive Radio Gods, "How Bizarre" by OMC, and "Bound For the Floor" by Local H are one hit wonders that I *adore*. I'm a HUGE fan of 90s one hit wonders. It's like they put all their oomph into one song, because I tell ya...these are some pretty good songs. |
