    Sugar Ray - Falls Apart

    Not quite sure about that one. Sugar Ray also had "Fly", "Every Morning", "Someday", and "When It's Over"...

    How about a two-hit wonder? Oasis for "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova" in the U.S.

    One hit wonder (the best)? Blind Melon. No rain is one of the best songs ever, let alone the 90's

    Some good ones there. I don't agree with Helmet or Fugees and being one hit wonders though.

    I was trying to remember the name of that song. All these great songs would make for a killer 90's one hit wonder playlist.

    what about "Step it up"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R4FsV1qLCE

    I must have listened to too much 90s radio ... as so many of these bands I can easily think of a second or third or fourth song quite easily.

    :lol:

    I almost put that one a few pages back. That was the "Bass" anthem for dudes in low-rider trucks in 1991. Awesome.

    Days of the New (whom I still really, really like their music) - the song "Touch, Peel and Stand." Truly a very cool song. Wish the lead singer would "kick" that drug problem.....as they were a good band. (IMO)

    But, I must defend 7Mary3 They had the hits of Lucky, Water's Edge & My My.

    Ahh, this one barely makes it in with 1990 ... and it's pretty obscure, but, if you listened to college radio, you heard it ...

    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    I'm not sure what year this song came out. It could have been an 80s hit rather than 90s but I thought I'd mention it: Turning Japanese by the Vapours. Unforgettable. ;)

    Ok great list, but Fiona Apple and The Wallflowers are in no way one hit wonders. They are more like great rock artists that had a few hits. There is a big, big difference b/w the two.
