Has beens and one hit wonders
What are some and where are they now?
what happened to Olivia Newton John? not that it was about the muzik or anything :hidin: what else? |
Pretty much most of the bands from the mid to late 80's were one hit wonders. Off the top of my head I can remember:
Survivor Men at Work Tone Loc The Bangles Dexy's Midnight Runners Quiet Riot Bananarama Men Without Hats |
The Knack
Billy Squier The Vapors Bow Wow Wow Crash Test Dummies 4 Non Blondes The Spin Doctors Spacehog Presidents of the United States of America The Refreshments |
Hootie and the blowfish.

This was the ultimate hookup song of the 80's, all you had to do was grab the closest girl and start dancing with her....

what happened to Mazzy Star?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysu-o4oCVSA they faded away I guess how about Alanis Morrisette while we're at it? I am convinced there are countless one hit wonders |
THE classic one-hit wonder, from the 70s--Norman Greenbaum and "Spirit in the Sky" ;)
There was also The Looking Glass with "Venus", and whoever it was that did "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)". |
:as: Lee Michaels- "Do Ya Know What I Mean?" Saw him with play it with just a drummer and a Hammond in the early 70's at the Loew's State Theater in Prov. Still hear it almost every day on Cool 102:pop::cheers:

How about Matthew Wilder? Can anyone name the hit song he had in the late 80's?
I've got my 20th HS reunion tomorrow night and they're supposed to be playing music that was popular while we were in HS. I should have a bunch of good one hit wonders on Saturday if I can remember anything. |
