Your favorite one hit wonders.

So nowadays with the whole internet thing and the endless cookie cutter, conveyor belt music we don't see many one hit wonders anymore. But back in the day, there were quite a few. So I'd like to dedicate this thread to the people/bands that had a great single, but not a great agent or contract. To get the ball rolling, I'll put out my all time favorite one hit wonder band:

Flock of Seagulls. Though they had a few other singles released, I Ran (So far away) is their really only notable work...other then their hairstyle.

If this isn't a place to mention RICK ASTLEY, I don't know when is!

Also, Take on Me - A-Ha was a fantastic song/

That music video kicks ass. I don't care what anyone says!

Sam Brown's hit 'Stop' is still one of my favourite songs. She would have become huge but her mother became ill with cancer and died shortly afterwards so she drifted away from stardom. I saw her perform at a small club in Manchester a couple of years ago and she was amazing. Just her and her instrument (either keyboard, bass or ukulele). Beautiful, powerful voice but she never oversings like a Mariah or a Whitney or a Toni Braxton would.

And, as shit as it is, I've always liked that 'What's Goin On' song by 4 non-blondes. No idea why though.

99 Red Balloons kicks ass as well. As does Iron Butterfly's epic 'In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida'.

Vertical Horizon.

At least I consider them a one hit wonder.
