  • I like this video. ...

    I like this video. My favorite song from it is Major Tom. It's hard to believe some of these artists were one hit wonders. Where were Rockwell & A-Ha?

  • Chloe: Those bands ...

    Chloe:

    Those bands you've mentioned are actually noughties bands and these are 80s bands. I hope you understand and i read what you wrote last night and i think Evermore are NOT a one hit wonder band and Cold-play aren't. Jonas Brothers aren't on here this is 80s. Who cares this video has 80s music you mentioned new bands

  • Yeah, if you call 6 ...

    Yeah, if you call 6 "a few counts." You're right, Katrina et al are British. I can't even remember whose point I was "counterpointing." I think somebody was saying that ALL the bands were British and they sucked or something, and I was pointing out that about half of the bands listed were in fact American. Yeah, I hate poor research too.

  • um, i believe this ...

    um, i believe this compilation is the perfect argument against that statement. the pop music of the 80's was shallow kitsch with no artistic merit. the real music was being played on college radio.

    of course, i'm just another a-hole on you tube with an opinion so interpret this as you will

  • Um a one hit wonder ...

    Um a one hit wonder band I'm thinking of is Jonas Brothers. Where are they on this quiz? And another one hit wonder band are LP. I don't even know whats happened to those bands? Oh and two more one hit wonder bands are Evermore and Cold-play. Um what's happened to those bands?

  • I think the Pelican ...

    I think the Pelican West lp of Haircut One Hundred wasn't a onehitwonder. The lp has less 6-7 very good songs. So Peter Schilling has other big hits(Hitze der Nacht). There are exact onehit bands as Opus, Procol Harum, Chammps, Herman's Hermits...or Lene Marlin.

    Haircut 100 isn't a "one" hit wonder. What about Boy Meets Girl?
