TPS Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Another one hitter and a band I actually saw play, Blues Image, "Ride Captain Ride." Everything else was so bad, they were forced to re-play their one hit to quiet the audience's grumbling.
KD in CA Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Gary Numan - Cars I actually heard this one on the all 80s station driving to the ferry yesterday.
BUFFALOKIE Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 J. Geils Band. Centerfold. Crazy Town. Butterfly. Kick. Ass. Tune. Gary Numan - Cars I actually heard this one on the all 80s station driving to the ferry yesterday. That's a good one. Love that song!
bbb Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 J Geils is definitely not a one hit wonder. Spirit in the Sky----- Norman Greenbaum Great choice! Did The Kings have more than one hit? An even better choice! But, here's the best choice: What the hell - now I can't get a youtube video to post? The link is HeAd EaSt // Never Been Any Reason
Alaska Darin Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIEVqFB4WUo Europe "FInal Countdown." I think "Carrie" charted pretty high.
Chef Jim Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 one of my all time favorite songs This was a "hit:?
BuffaloBill Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 How about the worst ever one hit wonder to go to #1? "Mickey" by Toni Basil
Taro T Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Did The Kings have more than one hit? ... That's so good, that should've been mine.
Doc Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 I think "Carrie" charted pretty high. I looked and you're right: "Carrie" did chart higher than "TFC." But only in the US. Odd.
Steve O Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 toss up Terry Jacks - Seasons in the sun (I know, it is on every "10 worst songs of all time" list that ever came out) Dave Loggins - Please come to Boston
BillsFanM.D. Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Always liked this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm8ClRnVxtE
Just Jack Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 "Fade Into You" by Mazzy Starr That reminded me of Enigma - Sadness....
bbb Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 I'm not saying this is the best one hit wonder, but he's from Buffalo, and he has or had a Vegas show. In the show he says - I know I'm a one hit wonder, but how many do you have?
