Aw, I feel bad about putting Matthew Sweet in the same category as Right Said Fred and Chumbawumba. He's a well-regarded musician, did a lot of work with Lloyd Cole IIRC. I guess it depends on how we're defining "best"? Because he's a very talented guy, not a novelty act.
Lloyd Cole is a name I haven’t thought of in a while. He is married to my friend’s sister, Beth. I went to their wedding with my friend. Feels like a lifetime ago.
After PJ, I've seen Lloyd live more than any other artist, starting with a small show in San Francisco in the early 90's that was plagued with drunk pirates. Great songwriter, got to meet him once or twice after shows -- seems like a nice guy.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
Shakespear's Sister - Stay Their only real hit, but the whole album was great. Was lucky to see them live back in the day.
1991- Hollywood Palladium, California with Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains -RIP Magazine Show Oct. 6th 1992- Lollapalooza, Irvine, California Nothing since then. I suck. 2016- Fenway Park, Boston - Both glorious nights 2022- Oakland Night 2
I guess technically The Bloodhound Gang's "The Bad Touch" is a one hit wonder. They did have a few minor hits though with "Fire Water Burn" and "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo".

it was? Like i said in the other thread I wouldn't really call this a "hit". I don't think I ever heard this on the radio or even being played on MTV. Ok song I guess.

Really? It was definitely played on MTV and the radio. I liked this song better than Bad Touch and that was a banger and funny as hell song.
"Im talking about Falco and shit" man that cracked me up.

I remember that one, plus fire water burn was everywhere in 1996. Gonna have to DQ Bloodhound Gang.
How bout primitive radio gods. Standing outside a phone booth blah blah blah.
Seems 1995 - 1998 was rife with one hit wonders since mainstream music was aimless between the death of grunge and the surge of boy bands/female pop stars.

Was also going to say Eve 6. I remember being obsessed with that song as a teen and talking to my friend about it on AOL lol
On a related note, the lead singer is a prolific and hilarious presence on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Eve6

I know Spacehog was a one hit band, but I really enjoyed that entire album. Surprised they never got that second radio hit, because I listened to that CD all the way through so many times.

A few of the guys in Spacehog lived in my neighborhood as they were coming up. I saw them a few times in smaller venues and got to be friends with the drummer. He was a really nice guy. I remember going to a party at the guitar players apartment once. Then of course, I lost touch with them as they got bigger, and the lead singer married Liv Tyler.

No offense intended, Dyer, but maybe inform instead of scold?
