So sad to see Red Rider in there. In Canada they were huge, and Tom Cochrane's still riding the goodwill he developed as frontman, despite having maybe one good song in the decade or so since he went solo. Why is it that only the crappy Canadian "bands" hit it big in the States (Rush excepted)?

blind melon had "Tones of Home" too, didn't they?
Sean E- too bad Big Sugar was never willing to tour much in the states. They were rad.

what ever happened to Kajagoogoo - Too Shy?
really this has to be the greatest one hit wonder of all.

Hmmm, I was overseas when Aldo Nova was big..... he was considered a one hit wonder with Fantasy? What about Ball and chain, victim of a broken heart, always be mine.... etc?

OMFG! Spacehog didn't make the cut. I may have to do one of those public delinking smackdowns. It's worked really well for everyone else...

Of course, Dexy's Midnight Runners are the ULTIMATE one hit wonder, but I'll play along nicely.

Danzig?? I guess because I am a fan I can think of a couple other radio songs before they faded away....

Sorry to have missed the nominations... got here too late. However, for the record I think we have to at least nod reverentially in the direction of the greatest one-hit wonder artist of all time: Francis Scott Key.

Yeah Helveticus: he wrote a bloody anthem with a high bit in it that makes it tough for anyone but a soprano to sing.
I wonder if Danzig was only a one hit wonder. Hrm...

Where the HECK is the link to the poll? I'm assuming I'm missing something, but everytime Michele says there's a poll up, there's never a link to said poll. What gives!?
Posted by: shank | October 13, 2005 08:04 AM
Uh..do you not see that rather large poll sitting right there in the post?

"One Toke Over the Line," by Brewer and Shipley.
Or is that song too old to qualify?

No, Michele, I don't. But I'm at work and this kind of thing happens quite often. I'll check from home then.

Dear Sean, I hope you can help me. I'm trying to contact aperson I went to high school with . Her maiden name was Gloria Bechtel and she married David Drouet. We are compiling a booklet of alumnae of the Gateway School which Gloria attended. If you are her son or are related, could you let me know how to reach her? She was a year or two ahead of me in school and I graduated in 1956. Could you let me know one way or another? I appreciate it.
