I'm always amazed the Heart of Gold hit #1 on the singles chart. No wonder he went into the ditch.RaceBannon said:
Spotify don't count for 90's musicYellowSnow said:
I debated a bit on The Verve. I feel like they had more than just 1 popular song- e.g., they've got 3 cuts over 90 million listens on Roganify.RaceBannon said:Bittersweet Symphony
Got sued by Mick
Cruel Intentions
Spotify allows people to explore other music by one hit wonders
As far as AM radio goes Neil was basically a 2 hit wonder - Old Man and Heart of Gold
Neil: Fuck off (how about Reactor, Old Ways, Trans, Life, Landing on Water, and This Note's For You Instead?
Edit...how could I forget Everybody's Rockin? -

Closing Time - Semisonic
Another band that was big (huge) in Britain but really a one hit wonder here.Bad_MotherDucker said:Liam Gallagher was right

What's Up - 4 Non BlondesClosing Time is too obvious to me ... to the point that I've just never thought of it as a 1-hit wonder
To me a 1-hit wonder has to really include some elements to it of in real time really questioning how the song became as big as it did ... there has to be that knowledge in the time that they can't possibly do more. 4 Non Blondes is the definition of a 1-hit wonder to me -
Those are all songs that would fit well as background music of a Friends episode. Truly awful music.

Two Princes - Spin Doctors
Whats next, Ross and Joey quotes? While you fags spent your thursdsy nights at home hosting your "friends'-"Seinfeld" parties, Pumpy was taking advantage of all the greasy ladies at the bars from 8-9pm, with no competition. (competition never mattered much anyway) Puppy was was well on his way to pumping while you nerds were watching 29 minutes of commercials, then the rest of the night playing world of warcraft.BleachedAnusDawg said:Those are all songs that would fit well as background music of a Friends episode.

Cant imagine how many semen filled trojans I left in girls apartments from 8-9pm on Thursday nights. You guys just left behind pizza crusts and mac and cheese boxes in your buddies apartments. Elaine was the closest you guys got to pussy back then. And you cant let the shit go, 25 years later . -
F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off...Macarena is the only answer here.

Had to be the early 90s unless it had a resurgence in the late 90s that I don't remember.huskyhooligan said:I just remember in the late 90's this was on TRL for like months.
Remember reading interview with the guy and he said he had a prior album that he felt was better but was squashed in a contract dispute.
Saw the Verve at Coachella.
90's was such an interesting music decade, with so much variety, and one hits so a lot to choose from.
