    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.
