What do you think of one hit wonders? Any songs stick out? Here’s a list I found: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_one-hit_wonders_in_the_United_States “A one-hit wonder is a musical artist who is successful with one hit song, but without a comparable subsequent hit. The term may also be applied to an artist who is remembered for only one hit despite other successes (such as "Take on Me" by A-ha in the United States, which topped a Rolling Stone magazine poll to find the top one-hit wonder). This list contains artists known primarily for one hit song in the United States, who are described as one-hit wonders by at least two sources in the media even though they may have had multiple hits.” Some songs stick out but not the singer or band.

I like them. If the song is good, the song is good. There's a lot of groups that only have 2, 3, 4 hits. 2, 3 one hit wonders.

I enjoy alternative rock one hit wonders from the 90’s and 00’s.
The Buzz Ballads box set cd collection was a great source of popular alternative rock hits that included a lot of one hit wonders.

Can't say I have heard of any, I'm sure I have but weren't good enough for me to learn their names. It is a shame they can only get one song out and that's it.

Please tell me why by Lit is the 90s rock one that sticks out the most. Tub thumping by chunbawabba, and blue by Eiffel 65
