invisible_r Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 Silverchair ~ Tomorrow i don't think they are one hit wonders, they had more hits with "anthem for the year 2000" and "ana's song (open fire)"
MindCrime Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 my bad, my bad I forgot about the other song by War before posting that, I don't know what I was thinking. Thanks for correcting me Bazooka as for Silverchair, I never really cared for them & they weren't as big in the states. If I remember correctly they were an Aussie take on grunge after it had already faded from the mainstream surface.

Shawna Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 I remember a song by them called 'Julie, Do ya Love Me'?.... In the States, "Julie Do Ya Love Me" was a hit by Bobby Sherman, who is now a paramedic in California somewhere.
bazooka Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 The Troggs ~ Wild Thing Love Is All Around ( UK #5 in October 1967 and US #7 in February 1968) is another one by The Troggs that I like.
MindCrime Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 or "kitty". i like that song They had a follow-up album with a song called Mach-5; this indicated one of the worst earworms of the 90's; the album was a total flop as a result.
MindCrime Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 Ram Jam ~ Breakfast in America I meant to put Ram Jam's Black Betty, somehow I posted SuperTramp's Breakfast in America; I must've been crazy. I'm no one to talk in this thread now, after like 5 mistakes, so I'll kick my self out the door.
Steel2Velvet Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 Love Is All Around ( UK #5 in October 1967 and US #7 in February 1968) is another one by The Troggs that I like. They also charted in the USA with "With A Girl Like You."
edna Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 I loved Bobby Sherman wahen I was 10 or 11... but he had many hits... I remember "Easy come, easy go", "Drum" (?)...
MindCrime Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 7 Mary 3, I forgot all about this band, despite seeing them live at the county fair '95. They had another radio hit with "The Water's Edge" which still recieves a fair amount of aircast play due to it's southern rock biker fan base.
PSYCHOcatholic Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Posted July 14, 2006 7 Mary 3...we booed them off of the stage when they played a concert with Tantric and 3 Doors Down...people threw things at them! They stormed off stage...they werent the best in the world. Sorry guys...
Steel2Velvet Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 I don't know of another Lenny Welch song other than Since I Fell For You which is a great song. In fact, I will put it on my personal Top Ten Nominations list.
Ombre Vivante Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 Hey. What about Lump ? What about "Volcano"?
Ombre Vivante Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 One hit wonder artists, that I've heard, not presummably like. .38 Special ~ Hold on Loosely They also had "Caught Up In You" and "Second Chance." Crowded House ~ Don't Dream It's Over They also had "Locked Out" and, maybe, "Weather With You." Soul Asylum ~ Runaway Train What about "Somebody To Shove" and "Black Gold"? From the same album as well.
Dappled Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 Overlanders - Michelle I bought their album way back when and liked some of their songs. Another topic might be: One Hit Wonders who had hits with Beatlesongs.
PSYCHOcatholic Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Posted September 22, 2006 Ya know Boyz II Men did a remake of Yesterday and they did it Accapella. It actually wasnt that bad. You think you could name a few examples Dap?
PSYCHOcatholic Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Posted September 25, 2006 Seems that Sister Hazels song All For You is pretty much a one hit wonder right now.
MindCrime Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 7 Mary 3...we booed them off of the stage when they played a concert with Tantric and 3 Doors Down...people threw things at them! They stormed off stage...they werent the best in the world. Sorry guys... This was at a 3 Doors Down venue ? Sorry to hear it, I would be nicely put with 7 Marry 3 over 3 Doors Down. Anyways, it loooks like I've been caught again with even more goofs, so I'll do as earlier noted & keep my promises of not returning to this thread.
Dappled Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 Ya know Boyz II Men did a remake of Yesterday and they did it Accapella. It actually wasnt that bad. You think you could name a few examples Dap? For starters: You've Got To Hide Your Love Away by The Silkie Not bad either.
Dappled Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 It made it into the top ten in the US in 1965, and according to allmusic.com: Three of the Beatles were involved in the Silkie's "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" cover, as Paul McCartney contributed vocals and possibly guitar; George Harrison added percussion via guitar taps and tambourine; and John Lennon, according to the Beatles Undercover book that documents the group's appearances on other records, did most of the producing, although McCartney is sometimes credited as co-producer with Lennon.

Jesamine Posted December 26, 2007 Report Posted December 26, 2007 Heartache Avenue - The Maisonettes Don't know if this was a hit in the US, it was a sadly largely forgotten top ten hit in the UK around 1982 - got a great Spector-esque feel to it
edna Posted December 26, 2007 Report Posted December 26, 2007 I´ve ben hurt" - Bill Deal & The Rhondells "Ma Belle Amie" - Tee Set "Girl I´ve got news for you" - Mardi Gras
