I think most mainstream listeners would consider Screaming Trees as one hit wonders.

Their catalogue can be a bit hit or miss and is not up to Lanegan's solo work but they are still worthy of diving into their albums.

Yeah, probably.

the marcy playground cd with sex and candy is pretty solid as a whole..

the warren g cd with regulate is great as a whole.. as is the dogg pound cd released around that time.. id say theyre both as good as doggystyle.... the clipse and masta ace are other rappers who fit this category

Well, Beck had Loser and Where It’s At. New Pollution was maybe a minor hit. E Pro i thought was pretty big too. Hell Yes?

I would put Ben Harper on this list. One real hit in ‘99 with Steal My Kisses, and a whole lot of other swings and misses. But the first four albums are great, both his blues albums with Charlie Musselwhite are excellent, his album with the Blind Boys of Alabama is fantastic, and his short output with Relentless Seven was fun rock music.

Do people consider sir mix a lot a one hit wonder?? I'd imagine people only know baby got back, but he had 'hits' in my hooptie, iron man, and posse on broadway.. I'm not sure if they would be considered mainstream hits but they got heavy rotation on shows like yo MTV raps.. (personally I don't think baby got back is the best song on its own cd single)

Same with digital underground.. would kiss you back and same song be considered hits?? Same song is kinda famous for being 2pacs first song

Local H. Bound for the Floor (just don’t get it, keep it copacetic) is their only real hit. They’re still making great albums.

For sure he's considered a one hit wonder.



Same with Digital Underground to my mind - Same Song is the one big hit imo.

Humpty dance??

Not in my mind. But I get your point.

Sometimes I wonder if the phrase "one hit wonder" is taken too literally though.

going back even further id say golden earring is in this group

though most people know of either twilight zone or radar love they have many other great songs that get overlooked

quiet eyes, ces soir, weekend love, paradise in distress, mad love is coming, johnny makebelieve, long blond animal

I'd suggest that for many people Golden Earing could be considered a poster band for one hit wonders.

They'd be two hit wonders, both of those songs were really big

i would not argue in the least but thanks to my love of twilight zone i bought more cds and heard many more songs

Humpty Dance and Kiss You Back were both Billboard Top 40 hits.

G Love

Dude is a road warrior

Tones Of Home

Is there a better Blind Melon song?

Who sings that Hey There Delilah song?

Plain White Tees

that "i like cold beverages" song was pretty big, at least in Boston
