The One Hit Wonder Thread

[Mono1]

Well. who's stopping you from starting one?

It would be too Embarrassing. I have to Maintain My NWF Image. ya'know.

All due respect Cavedweller, Otis I would NOT classify as a One Hit Wonder. Life Ended Prematurely in a Plane Crash.

So was Jim Croce's. But his premier album had several hits. Same can't be said for Otis. One and done, as they say nowadays.

Sorry. I didn't know you had one.

OK maybe so. I am like the Last Person to be a Music Critic. As you can Obviously see from my post on Pencil Neck Geek.

OH DUDE! NOW the Gloves are OFF!

These days I'm a grandfather of three little grand-babies and FAR (far) more "civilized" than I used to be, but this is the FIRST "one hit wonder" song that came to mind....


It still gets me "in the mood" from a past life.

I think its hard to find a true "one hit" wonder band, most had at least another song that got radio play. A one hit wonder for me was How Soon is Now by The Smiths, I was never a Smiths fan but this song was always a favorite in my collection and included in many compilation CDs I made over the years. I dig the oscillating sound of the main guitar creating a dark moody feeling with the overly simply lyrics projecting social anxiety most can relate to at times. The Smiths were a popular indie rock band and had many hits but I dont recall much mainstream radio play if any, I was never into their music except this song....
