1. A-Ha and "the Dead" really aren't that much of an outrage to be included among one-hit wonders |

Edited on Wed Dec-27-06 01:35 PM by Bombtrack
I don't know any song "A-HA" has ever done and every Grateful Dead album I've listened to is so awful the only song I could ever remember is the one I have heard played the most on radio, touch of grey, a song which while not awful is not particularly good either.

11. I guess they're using the "technical" definition: |
|
Several of these folks had long careers, well-known music, popular albums--but they only had one song in the Top 40 (or whatever number is used) charts. Though I suppose it's technically correct, it's a strange definition.

12. I guess I always associated "one hit wonders" with songs |

I guess I would have not thought of grouping Hendrix, Joplin and the Grateful Dead in that category. I always associate One Hit Wonders with Pop Muzik- M Macarena Hitchin a ride-vanity fare Come on Eileen Disco Duck
