OT: Favorite One Hit Wonders
« on: July 22, 2024, 04:31:48 PM »
As described in the title, of course. Maybe the band has some sort of small hardcore following, but for one glorious moment, their ONE popular song was high on the charts, EVERYONE knew it, and then before you knew it... They were gone. Never to be heard from again. 

The below is one that I remember from the days when I was just starting to get old enough to be watching MTV instead of Saturday morning cartoons. From the video you can tell it just screams "80's". 

To this day I can't hear this song and NOT crank the volume.

I love that song.  Golden Earring actually had another really big hit in the early MTV era.

Great song, I saw them live at a scary little club in South Austin in...1989, 1990?  It was a seriously crazy show, I probably shouldn't have been there but we had a great time.

Upon further review I've removed Lou Reed as he had a few hits
