Level -> 1 Hit Wonders - Round 1 0f 8 (3/28/2008 7:54:52 PM)
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". [;)]

RazorJAK -> RE: 1 Hit Wonders - Round 1 0f 8 (3/28/2008 8:02:19 PM)
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.

Level -> RE: 1 Hit Wonders - Round 1 0f 8 (3/28/2008 8:06:53 PM)
One big huge freakin honking hit thread, then [:D] 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.

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. [:D]

What about groups like Casha goo goo? Now there was a One hit wonder...Come on Eileen

Level -> RE: 1 Hit Wonders - Round 1 0f 8 (3/29/2008 3:23:47 AM)
Good morn, luscious. Makes note of "Too Shy" for the extra round

lusciouslips19 -> RE: 1 Hit Wonders - Round 1 0f 8 (3/29/2008 4:01:40 AM)
Tons of one hit wonders from the early 80's, when men wore balck eyeliner and wore their hair like a peacocks Ass!

lusciouslips19 -> RE: 1 Hit Wonders - Round 1 0f 8 (3/29/2008 4:14:55 AM)
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

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.

You're welcome [;)] they were a very good band.

lusciouslips19 -> RE: 1 Hit Wonders - Round 1 F 8 (3/29/2008 7:29:44 AM)
They still are a very good band!

christine1 -> RE: 1 Hit Wonders - Round 1 F 8 (3/29/2008 7:32:52 AM)
oh hell, you're right...i'll consider myself bonked....hey, that kinda feels good.... i should have done more home work, a local radio station just had a weeks worth of one hit wonders and that was one of them....makes me wonder about them now.

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.

thornhappy -> RE: 1 Hit Wonders - Round 1 0f 8 (3/29/2008 8:01:47 AM)
Iron Butterfly fer shure, with that very poorly recorded hit of theirs. Noise levels bouncing all over, sheesh. thornhappy of the golden ears

Kirren -> RE: 1 Hit Wonders - Round 1 0f 8 (3/29/2008 10:14:01 AM)
Flock of Seagulls has to be on there some where Level. I loved that song.
