One-hit wonders..
 
In the last decades many one-hit wonders have appeared…, and many of them has been forgotten ..?
Which ones are your favourites ? :band:

I really don't keep track of one hit wonders. And it's subjective from country to country.
Is Steal My Sunshine a one hit wonder based off another one hit wonder? IDK ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Len - Steal My Sunshine


Andrea True Connection - More, More More

It's such a pity that they are only widely known for that song though, they're great

I was thinking that, too.

Kind of like Chumbawumba a great band with lots of great music plus an excellent shiny single.

Let's keep it going. Underneath all of the 80s fashion there were some great songs.

They did have another minor MTV hit with Doctor Doctor.

What are you talking about? Thompson Twins are not a "one hit wonder" band. (I had to fact check you cause I felt like you were disseminating misinformation.) They had several chart entries in several countries. In the Name of Love, Lies, Hold Me Now, and In the Name of Love '88 all went to #1 on the US dance charts. Ironically one of their best songs, Love on You Side, only went to 6 on that chart.

Thompson Twins - Love On Your Side

You piqued my curiosity and I checked out a few of their other songs. Had only heard Come On Eileen before. Yeah I agree, sounds like lots of other good stuff, not sure why only the 1 song was a hit in the US.

Some of the other songs I listened to have shades of Van Morrison.

One hit in my tiny window of 80s music - MTV.
My bad. Checked out some of the stuff you mentioned and
it's all good. Their stuff is an absolute blast to jam to.

Remind me who your avi is please?
