Two Hit Wonders

eeriepadave

Well looking at the one hit wonders got me thinking of this since some were mentioned there as well (which probably shouldn't be )

Filter- Take A Picture & Hey Man Nice Shot\
Sponge- Plowed & Molly (Sixteen Candles)
Presidents Of The USA- Peaches & Lump
Spin Doctors- Two Princes & Little Miss Can't Be Wrong
Better Than Ezra- Good & Desperately Wanting
Candlebox- Far Behind & You
Cracker- Low &Teen Angst (What The World Needs Now)
Ugly Kid Joe- Cats In The Cradle & Everything About You
Stereo MC's- Connected & Step It Up
Ace Of Base- Signs & All That She Wants
Young MC- Bust A Move & Principal's Office
Tone Loc- Funky Cold Medina & Wild Thing

Soul Asylum, Lemonheads, Fastball, Oasis, Tonic & Blur I consider more than 2 hit wonders

Jimmy Olsen's Blues might put the Spin Doctors into 3 hit wonder territory

Cake rocks.

Prolonging the Magic and Comfort eagle are great albums

Their latest effort is stellar and a rel treat to see live.

$20 tickets for 2+ plus hours of great music

Long live Cake

So I guess it's settled that Cake isn't a two-hit-wonder, eh?

Same with Pot USA/Kitty, Mach 5. I still love that whole self titled album.

I'd put Blind Melon more in this category too. Seems like they had some success with Change

Blues Traveler-Run Around, Hook

I'm a big Blind Melon fan, so I am biassed, but most of their stuff is awesome. A for hits though, I can understand if people categorized then as only a one-hit-wonder.

Going old school here:

The Left Banke: Just Walk Away Renee and Pretty Ballerina
The Foundations: Build me Up, Buttercup and Now that I've Found You
The Toadies: Possum Kingdom and Tyler

I agree, despite never really being grabbed by their music. They're a much better band than your standard 1hit wonder fare. I just noticed they were plugged in the other thread.

Hey Jealousy
Allison Road


Third Eye Blind

I would easily put 'Found Out About You', 'Follow You Down' and 'Till I Hear It From You' by the Gin Blossoms. I remember them being played back in the 90's and I still hear them on the radio today.

same w/ Tonic Open Up Your Eyes, If You Could Only See & You Wanted More

Toadies- Tyler as a hit? It didn;t even chart so how could that be mentioned :?

I guess Marcy Playground were, with Sex and Candy and Comin Up From Behind but I love the rest of their back catalogue too.

They're kind of a 1 1/2 hit wonder band. No Rain was huge, but Tones of Home had modest air play.

I would have considered Paper Scratcher their second 'hit'.
Edit: I didn't even realize that it wasn't a single. My bad. Tones of Home it is.

I'm gonna put Alien Ant Farm in this category with the singles "Smooth Criminal" and "Movies"

St Joe on the School bus was another hit from them.

Edit:  I just replied to an 11 year old thread, hahahahah!
