Man, I've been scoruring the dredges of the worst bands on hit lists tonight, and have found many BAD bands that are not worthy of this list (either they lip-sync, or the just suck!).But there are a few "one hit wonders" that are pretty darn good!#1. The Easybeats with their hit "Friday On My Mind" (covered by David Bowie):

Hey, "Friday on my Mind"That's a great track Ern!I might be wrong, but I think this belongs on the list:

It appears these guys are still making a living off of their one big hit.

Patty and Mildred J. Hill. The two sisters who in 1893 wrote 'Happy Birthday To You'.

I'm thinking about finding a similar niche. Maybe "Sorry You Died", or "Your Getting Divorced".

How about Fine Young Cannibals "She Drives Me Crazy." Did they ever have another hit? --- I've heard the lead singer can't sing the falsetto part live, and maybe they're right! That's career suicide unless you're the Temptations, Smokey Robinson etc. :Ern

Nominated for 3 Grammys. Impressive.Two number 1 hits in the U.S. She Drives Me Crazy and Good Thing. http://www.80smusiclyrics.com/artists/fyc.htmI always liked that song. I did not realize it was as old as it is.

Ahh, I forgot about "Good Thing." They were both good records, but what have they done since? Seems like they were on the road to stardom, but such is the music biz! Ern
