One Hit Wonders: Those bands and musicians that only had one hit to their name. I’ve run across several bands that broke into the mainstream with their one hit, then faded into obscurity. I’ve made a list of the best One Hit Wonders:

• Blind Melon – “No Rain”….such a good band, it’s a shame their lead singer had a fatal overdose.
• Blur – “Song 2” ….otherwise known as the Wooohooo song as seen on Pentium Commericals. Blur has a large following in the UK, but I can’t name a 2nd song of theirs.
• Spacehog – “In the Meantime”….nice guitar song.
• Breeders – “Cannonball”….nice guitar bass.
• Son Volt – “Drown”….the best band you’ve never heard of.
• Len – “Steal My Sunshine”…this song was on the radio very breifly during the summer of ’99
• Nixons – “Sister”…great sounding song. I wish they’d get played on the radio more.
• Mr. Big – “To Be With You”…I thought the lead singer was a girl when I heard this song.
• EMF – “Unbelieveable”…this was a huge hit in 1991.
• Jesus Jones – “Right Here, Right Now.” They always play this song over images of the Berlin Wall falling down.
• Radiohead – “Creep.” Another band with a huge following in the UK. They’ve even got some rabid fans here. However you’ll never hear anything other than Creep on the radio.

Speaking of music, ever wonder why lame bands like No Doubt, Sugar Ray, and Smash Mouth put out multiple sorry sounding albums while outstanding bands like Wallflowers and Better Than Ezra have only put out a limited amount of albums over a long period?
