edna Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I nominated "St Peter" by Flash & The Pan but actually, as Darryl knew, it´s "Hey, St Peter"... so I post here the video in case people wants to know what a great song it is and give it a #1 place in their votes.

Dappled Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 One Hit Wonders Are there any of these in our 30 lists? To find out I searched for artists with only ONE song nomination. The criteria for being a One Hit Wonders is to have that song get into the top ten. This is what I found: (1st digit is placement and 2nd list #) Knack - My Sharona 1 1 Harry Chapin - Cat's In The Cradle 2 26 Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony 2 22 Marty Robbins - El Paso 3 26 Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Mr. Bojangles 3 24 Percy Sledge - When A Man Loves A Woman 3 16 Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly With His Song 3 13 Chi-Lites - Oh Girl 4 24 Easybeats - Friday on my Mind 4 23 Ronettes - Be My Baby 4 29 Blind Faith - Can't Find My Way Home 4 6 B.B. King - The Thrill Is Gone 4 26 Goo Goo Dolls - Iris 5 1 Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World 5 16 Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street 6 16 Green Day - Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) 6 7 Lulu - To Sir With Love 6 17 Scott McKenzie - San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair) 6 18 Bobby Hebb - Sunny 7 11 Jimmy Ruffin - What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted 7 27 Johnny Cash - Hurt 7 7 Stealers Wheel - Stuck In The Middle With You 7 16 Bobby Gentry - Ode To Billy Joe 8 17 Free - All Right Now 8 9 John Lee Hooker - Boom Boom 8 13 Midnight Oil - Beds are Burning 8 29 Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky 8 15 Santana feat.

edna Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 "My Sharona" was the first # 1, I believe... and "Runaway" was also in some Top Ten... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hi Dappled. I didn't know what you meant at first, but you mean One Hit Wonders in OUR Top Tens. I'm surprised that a couple of those artists have only been nominated once. Wasn't B.B. King nominated with U2 for "When Love Comes To Town"?

Steel2Velvet Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Wasn't B.B. King nominated with U2 for "When Love Comes To Town"? Yeah, one of mine. Love that song so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judo Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Are you SURE Johnny Cash has only had one nomination? If so, I'd be very surprised. I would like to nominate a lot of Johnny Cash, (my all time favourite legendary country signer) but wonder how many votes he would get here.
