If we're talking real life people and not internet, I'm 99% sure I don't know anyone who could name songs by these bands that aren't Seven Nation Army, Loser and Creep.

That doorbell song was huge. Where It's At was pretty big, and Karma Police.

Yeah, calling those artists "one-hit-wonders" is silly. Having ONE GIANT HIT and then a few lesser hits is not the same as having a career based entirely on the popularity of a single song.

Maybe "one-hit wonder" should be better defined. Those 3 bands in question have each been around a long time, all have multiple critically acclaimed albums, and all had extended periods of relevance.

I agree with you. I was thinking more in terms of actual mainstream pop charts. It doesn't seem right to label any of those bands as one-hit wonders.
