Robin McNamara- Lay a Little Lovin On Me

 

Mouth & McNeil- How Do You Do

[NEWPOSTERGUY! 269]

- summer of '79, overshadowed by the ubiquitous 'My Sharona' ... this power pop gem:

 

 

[Herbivore 911]

Triumph - not a one hit wonder. Great band, saw them in concert a few times, but no hits.

Cage the Elephant - not a one hit wonder. a few hits the past few years. Most recent album is up for a Grammy.

Digable Planets - I love that song.

 

 

Wall of Voodoo - Mexican Radio

Yaz was really just Vince Clark, who left Depeche Mode due to creative differences. He wrote and recorded the entire album, with the only instrument being his keyboards. He then hired vocalist Alison Moyet to lay down the vocals.

Heard this one on Sirius yesterday;

 

[parrot 789]

My favorite musician would probably be classified as a One Hit Wonder;

I would've thought Only You would be much more popular.

Great song he also had Guitar Town which I like,just don't know if it charted.

One of my favorites. I looked and it did go to #20 on the pop charts, and #7 on the country charts. I was surprised it hit the pop charts. Copperhead Road went to #10 pop and never hit the country charts.

Only You is a much better song, but it didn't crack the top 40 in the US. Neither did Situation for that matter. But Situation went to #1 on the Billboard US Dance Chart. It might be a tossup. But I bet there's a large portion who never heard of either. I had Upstairs at Eric's both on vinyl and cd. Great album if you like new wave/synthesis stuff.

[posty 2,296]

Are we just talking hits on the pop charts or any chart?

 

For instance this song was #1 on the pop charts, but he has had many other #1 hits on the jazz charts...

I still listen to it occasionally,also had their 2nd project at one time(lost in a fire) but damned if I can remember one song on it.
