Cutting Crew 'I Just Died In Your Arms'...ah, young love, slow dancing to this at High School dances. Then puking behind the bleachers from too much Bacardi and Coke. HAHAHAHAHAHA
And I'm not living this life without you, I'm selfish and clear
And you're not leaving here without me, I don't wanna be without
My best... friend. Wake up, to see you could have it all
I agree
then I vote for Bitter Sweet Symphony although THE VERVE are one the most underrated alternative/rock bands EVER!!!
Thank God they returned this year!!!
It actually got to number two in the charts and the "drugs don't work" got to number one so yet again not a one hit wonder
Geno got to number one as well so not a one hit wonder
Maybe in Ireland or wherever the Republic of Tallow is. But here in the US of A I'm pretty sure Eileen was their only hit. I'll have to look that one up.
I agree.
Simple Minds was really big here in Europe but I am sure there are still many fans nowadays. SAME WITH A-HA!!! (They have never been one hit wonders!)
But in the U.S. bands like Travis, Texas or The Cardigans were one hit wonders as well however they were/have been pretty big on the old continent with many many hits!
That's the beauty of being in Oz. We get the best of Europe as well as the best of the US, not to mention a thriving music industry of our own.
Man I haven't thought of Texas in YEARS!!! I LOVED THAT SONG!!!
I'd have to say that Texas was a one hit wonder here in Oz as were The Cardigans and A-Ha really, but Travis did ok I think. I'm pretty sure they had more than one hit. And Simple Minds were HUGE!!
no one around here knows who silverchair is either. they're a one-hit wonder to most americans as well.
Yeah, I find it ironic some of the bands that did make it big in the US, like AIR SUPPLY for instance!!! :eek:
But then I find Americans to be mostly oblivious to the rest of the world anyway, less of course they're planning to bomb them! (that's a joke folks so don't get your knickers in a twist! )
I think that hendrix was a one hit wonder. hey joe I think it was. Im probley wrong. It would be hard to belief none of his other stuff had any radio play
Maybe in Ireland or wherever the Republic of Tallow is. But here in the US of A I'm pretty sure Eileen was their only hit. I'll have to look that one up.
Tallow's in IReland alright but they Geno was number one in UK charts
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
You can add "Only Time Will Tell", "The Smile has Left Your Eyes", "Sole Survivor" and "Don't Cry" to their hit list.
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
Ok maybe they weren't so big outside of the UK/Europe, over here they were MASSIVE hits. That album sold a shit load and made them huge over here - big enough that they have just sold out an arena tour after reuniting after a few years. I understand what you are saying, but in the UK they would never be considered a one hit wonder.
Regarding The Verve: I think that's the very rare case of 'One Album Wonder'. All the hits/songs that they are remembered for are on Urban Hymns, no one ever talks about songs from their other albums.
OK, I'm sorry, here are the facts:
(plz believe me)
-for me the music of THE VERVE has been ONE GREAT WONDER, they were kinda one reincarnation of something for example The Doors, Pink Floyd, The Cure were fuckin' good at: magical experimental/psychedelic music.
-Urban hymns is probably my all time favourite British record (and the vast majority of my idols are British...)
-There have never been a bigger The Verve and Ashcroft fanatic (GUESS WHY i AM CALLED RICSARD;)) in Eastern Europe!
BUT, outside U.K. and Ireland (I know they had massive success there in 1997-98 [thank God for that]) their only hit WAS that fuckin Symphony which was stolen from them by that old manager prick. Most people have no idea they had other songs + The Verve name is not really familiar - only that song. It was so sad to see this video on VH1's One Hit Wonder show which was actually reflected their American status at those charts.
[Guess why they don't have other tour dates but British ones;) ]
-Same situation with Blind Melon that someone mentionned: they could have never got rid of the blessings/curse of No Rain...:(
But I am happy you guys tried to protect the Verve - it means there must be still a few fans of theirs out there !

They are after reforming. I got their first album last week( had the other two and greatest hits one for ages) and what a talent their guitarist is( I think its nick mccabe)
Whale - Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe
The Men - Church of Logic, Sin and Love
Folk Implosion - The Natural One
Primitive Radio Gods - Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth...
Spacehog - In The Meantime
Fossil - Moon
And I'm not living this life without you, I'm selfish and clear

Mother, Mother by Tracy Bonham was a pretty good song back in the day.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

A-ha had plenty of hits in Europe. Take On Me, Hunting High & Low, The Sun Always Shines on TV and of course The Living Daylights the theme songs from the Bond Movie of the same name, that's not a one hit wonder :P
How about :
Survivor : Eye of the Tiger.
Dee-light : Groove is in the Heart.
Europe : The Final Countdown.
Toni Basil : Mickey.
Carl Douglas : Kung Fu Fighting
Babylon Zoo : Spaceman.

agreed

Actually, wouldn't The Greatful Dead be a one hit wonder if being judged by mainstream success of "Touch of Grey"
