    Blur-Song 1

    I dont think Blur qualify as "One Hit Wonders", do they??

    Charles & Eddie - Would I Lie To You?
    DJ Sash! - Encore Une Fois
    Haddaway - What Is Love?
    Spin Doctors - 2 Princes

    I see your location is Ireland, so to you, maybe not. But over here in the states, they definitely qualify. Their only hit was Song 2 and it was a mild one at that.

    Hell, Oasis only really had one big hit here with wonderwall.

    Left Behind-Candlebox probably my fav from the 90's. Radio here plays a one hit 90's wonder everyday.

    Ahh right, didnt realise that. Kinda like how Pearl Jam are seen as one hit wonders by people where I live.... :lol: I live in a messed up place. :roll: Either way, Song 2 is great.

    I would say two for Oasis in the U.S.....Champagne Supernova would be the second.

    Boooo. Party foul. BTE had quite a few hits, and they just put out an album with some more hit ready tunes.

    In The Blood
    Rosalita
    King of New Orleans
    Desperately Wanting
    At The Stars
    Extra Ordinary
    A Lifetime
    Juicy

    All of those did fairly well on radio

    Folk Implosion- Natural One
    Marcy's Playground-Sex and Candy
    White Town- Your Woman
    Harvey Danger- Flagpole Sitter
    Oleander- Why I'm Here
    Tin Star- Head
    Marvelous 3- Freak of the Week
    Crazytown-Butterfly
    Eiffel 65- Blue
    9 Days- This is a Story of a Girl
    Stroke 9- Little Backpack
    Powerderfinger- My Happiness
    Primitive Radio Gods- Phonebooth.....
    Nixons-Sister
    7 Mary 3- Cumbersome
    Lemonheads- Into Your Arms



    I could probably think of more, or find more I should say, if I looked at my Itunes at home. 107.9 The End was the alt rock station here in Cleveland, and when they went off the air in 1999 I spent the better part of 2 years coming up with every song they would play and made basically my own station on my computer (I was 15 with alot of free time). I have a ton of songs many of you probably forgot all about sitting around on my old computer

    "One more murder" was a big hit in Houston back in 99. That was the tour I saw them on.

    You're right. I missed that one. I remember hearing "Misunderstood" on the radio as the second single from "Closer" but then the label folded and that was the end of that album cycle. It's a damn shame, that album could have had 3-4 good singles with "Rolling", "Misunderstood", "Extra Ordinary", and "A Lifetime"

    + Live Forever, if you count college radio hits, it was for sure.
