Another big-ass set of music polls. Round 1 of 8. That means, if you don't see a favorite here, look at the other 7 before bitching. If it's not on those, either I missed it, or it sucks. These initial 8 rounds will last until Wednesday evening at 7:00 central time. Then we'll put each rounds winner into a final poll. Weeeee..... Thanks for voting and commenting, as always, I appreciate it.

Norm!

And sorry, Tracy ain't a one-hit wonder. Google "Gimme One Reason".

Have to call foul on d'Arby and Chapman. Both of them had more than one hit.

Hell, at least four singles off "Introducing the Hardline ..." were in the top five.

One big huge freakin honking hit thread, then

I know some of these had more than one hit, but the general public would know them by the one smash, IMO.

I pretended Tracy Chapman wasn't a choice here, and went Iron Butterfly. Her whole first album was amazingly good.

I've been through all 8, Level, I can't believe you forgot One Night in Bangkok . I get my kicks above the waistline, Sunshine.

Ah, but was Chapman's entire album a hit? That's the main criteria I used, was the song a smash hit, and the only one the artist had. She indeed had other smaller hits, like "Talkin Bout A Revolution", and "Give Me One Reason" as someone else said, but "Fast Car" was freakishly huge, dwarfing everything else she ever did, IMO.

I'm making a note of Murray Head, I will likely do an extra round Sunday sometime, to catch any big oopsies.

Tons of one hit wonders from the early 80's, when men wore balck eyeliner and wore their hair like a peacocks Ass!

I'd like to see a poll of the worse one hit wonder songs like the one I love to hate. "Season's in the sun" or "Wildfire."

War had a number of hits, but "Low Rider" was far and away the biggest:

Why Can't We Be Friends? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DmYLrxR0Y8

Cisco Kid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGBba1AY1O4

Spill the Wine (with Eric Burdon) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7_U-zj2gfE&feature=related

Bonks Chrissy in the head!!! You kidding me? I have Wars greatest hits. You never heard the songs, "Livin in the red", "Cisco Kid", "Why cant we be friends" "Spill the wine", "Slippin into darkness"? All these were hits, darlin

Edited to say: sorry Level I hadn't scrolled to see your posts on War. Thanks for the song links.

Hell, as has been pointed out, some of the choices in the various rounds are not "1 hit" bands, in the strictest sense of the word. It's all for fun.

After this runs its course, I may do one more, on the greatest male vocalists, and that'll be all she wrote, I think.
