ITT: One Hit Wonders

Bands/artists that got only one song that's actually any good.

Pic couldn't be more related, everything else they put out is utter garbage.

What about bands whos one hit is their worst song?
It's amazing how these guys actually became a genuinely good band.

>eurythmics
>one hit wonder
You can't be serious, dude.

Lou Bega - Mambo No. 5 or Los Del Rio - Macarena, these are ohw.
>>
>Thomas Dolby is a one hit wonder
>his only hit is his worst song
How "One Of Our Submarines" wasn't the hit, I'll never understand.
>>
Todd in the Shadows's One Hit Wonderland is a great show. New episode coming today.

It's almost shocking how bland his solo work is considering it has such a GOAT opening track

I still like his stuff with Genesis tho

>Not Ceremony

What the fuck
>>
>>61074608
OP said "one song that was actually good", not "one song that was commercially successful"
>>
>>61074631
Commercial success is how you define one hit wonders. What the fuck is going on here?
>>
>>61074631
So you're a dumbass with shit taste.

Figures.

>>
>>61074498
What's wrong with his other songs?

Besides Sussudio, of course.
>>
>>61074730
One More Night is also on that album. Great pop ballad.

What planet are you smoking crack on?

They had several hits.
>Love is a Stranger

>Would I Lie To You

Hardly one hit wonders.

Also "There Must Be an Angel (Playing With My Heart)" was a big song at that time. It's still played on 80s oriented radios.

stop bumping this failed troll thread
>>
>>61077347
but you bumped it with your comment. what gives?
>>
>>61077320
Forgot about that one. Annie Lennox freaks me out to this day. She is so utterly beautiful. Saw an interview with her w/ Charlie Rose and the woman just radiates with beauty, intelligence and strength.
>>
>>61077440
Her solo career is also interesting. "Why" is such a great song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG7I4oniOyA
>>
>>61073337
Would I Lie to You is a decent song.
One might also want to check out their very first album, "In The Garden" which wasn't released in the U.S. Totally different than what they eventually evolved into.
>>
>>61078837
Plastic Bernard, A-ha, The guys who did "Turning Japanese"
>>
>>61073775

Smells Like Teen Spirit was a good song though
