Re: 1 hit wonders
Thu, February 26, 2004 - 4:48 PMYou gotta love Waterfront Home's "Take a Chance (On Me)." Alphaville's "Forever Young" is considered a classic by many. And hey, who couldn't love "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora.
That's all for now, but if I think of more later I'll post.

Re: 1 hit wonders
Wed, April 28, 2004 - 1:54 PMCan Corey actually be considered a one hit wonder though? -

Re: 1 hit wonders

Re: 1 hit wonders
Wed, April 28, 2004 - 3:06 PMHonestly, there are very few TRUE one-hit wonders... most of 'em had at least ONE other release (which didn't go anywhere on the charts) ...but there ARE exceptions.
Anyone remember "Voice of the Beehive" or "T'pau" ? -

Tue, November 2, 2004 - 7:30 PMI can't remember her full name, but the singer's first name is Carol (I think). She is still touring and recording. I think she realeased a new CD not too long ago. She's re-recorded those two hits (China In My Hand and Heart & Soul) also.

Re: 1 hit wonders
Wed, April 28, 2004 - 6:37 PMHow about Our Daughter's Wedding? I fail to find ANYTHING by them except "Lawnchairs."

Re: 1 hit wonders
Sun, September 12, 2004 - 6:58 AMBut a release is not a HIT
One HIT wonders might have had a dozen releases, but they didnt chart significantly.
Come on Eileen
My Sharona
Ca Plane Pour Ma
Pop Music
Rock Me Amadues
etc

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: 1 hit wonders
Sat, September 18, 2004 - 10:59 AMOh, quite the contrary my friend. I think we're gaining mucho cool points. J.C.'s initial post about Regina made me so happy! Eighties music geeks unite!
I mean, after all, that's why I made the tribe... -

Re: 1 hit wonders
Sat, September 18, 2004 - 11:08 AMYeah...I understand. J.C. and I have this running "joke" about losing cool points whenever we remember some bit of the 80's that seemed to have come out of nowhere. No reflection on your hellacool Tribe...I mean, hell, I joined didn't I?

Thank God that curse is now over...

Re: 1 hit wonders

Re: 1 hit wonders
Tue, December 11, 2007 - 11:58 AMNo, I don't believe Echo & The Bunnymen were one hit wonders. Under The Millky way was done by the Church, however.

Re: 1 hit wonders
Tue, December 5, 2006 - 7:54 PMWHOOOHOOOOO Nobody said Spandau Ballet! They had soooooo many hit singles! Of course they were mostly in Europe but when did we discount that right? Phew....I'm sick of hearing them being said to be one hit wonders.....bad MTV for saying that..or VH1..whichever.. -

Re: 1 hit wonders
Wed, December 6, 2006 - 8:58 AMI am such a lover of one hits wonders! I am so glad this thread was started.
I grew up in NY and loved one hit wonder dance music....Shannan, Lime, JellyBean, Kelly Marie, France Joli, C-Bank, etc -

Re: 1 hit wonders
Fri, December 8, 2006 - 9:24 PMI love everything Freur ever did (all 2 albums worth), but they only had one hit: Doot Doot. -
-
Re: 1 hit wonders
Sat, December 23, 2006 - 9:26 AMI LOVE Doot Doot! Such a catchy little song!
No one's mentioned Stacey Q yet, and even though she's not technically a one-hit wonder (because of "We Connect"), most people think she is. I love everything she's ever done, though; I have all her albums. She's amazing!
