Today KISW is playing the top 99 songs by bands who were famous for only one significant hit! They just played, "Save Me" by the Canadian band the Tea Party, who really were a cool psychedelic band about ten years ago, "Walking Shoes" by Tora Tora, who had a sexy album and a bluesy sound, and--"Seventeen" by Winger ONLY at 97??:confused: Not only did they have more hits than that, but at least they deserve to be higher.

I love those songs.

I wouldn't personally consider these one-hit wonders. They all released songs afterwards, some of which were better than those listed to me. Tantric also released "Mourning", which is way better in my opinion, than "Breakdown." Papa Roach released "She Loves Me Not" which was pretty popular around here. But I guess it didn't get as much airplay other places as "Last Resort." Hoobastank came out with several other songs off of Hoobastank. They released "Running Away", which I thought was also as popular as "Crawling in the Dark." Eve 6 is definately a shocker! "Here's to the Night" was a huge graduation song. And they've released "Think Twice" recently which was pretty popular, or so I thought.

That list was like a Who's Who of "Hair Bands."

Winger! Just when I blocked those guys out of my mind.

;)

I would say If You Could Only See was actually a bigger hit for them

Girls And Boys was a hit, not a rock hit, but a hit nonetheless. In the UK, these guys have had several #1 hits.

when I think of these guys, "Negasonic Teenage Warhead" is the first thing that comes to mind. Great video for that song too

Take A Picture was a huge single. Jurassitol from The Crow 2 also did well.

73 MARCY PLAYGROUND SEX AND CANDY
i loved this song! And i remember the video, where his head is like coming from a hole and hes singing. And theres a spider and stuff. :lol:
66 HOOBASTANK CRAWILING IN THE DARK
i think they had another song on TRL, but i donno
59 EVE 6 INSIDE OUT
They had "Heres to the Night" in 2001.
46 ORGY BLUE MONDAY
Yeah, i remember this too.
19 RAMMSTEIN DU HAST
Yup, in 1998. They're German or something.
14 PAPA ROACH LAST RESORT
I think they had more songs... :confused:
12 EVERLAST WHAT IT'S LIKE
hahaha i remember this. Wasnt Everlast a member of an old band?
11 FILTER HEY MAN NICE SHOT
They also did "Take A Picture"

I think what KISW was looking for was one song by certain artists that when you think of the band, you immediately think of that song, even though they technically had other hits.

I like SEX AND CANDY yaaa...who's that loungin in my chaaair...

tru tru, but some of the artists listed have more than one. We're Not Gonna Take It is certainly Twisted Sister's all time biggest hit, but I Wanna Rock is also pretty associated with them.

I'd also say Here's The The Night probably eclipsed Inside Out in popularity for Eve 6.

and some others that have been said also.

To me a "rock one hit wonder" would be Nada Surf and Popular. They did other songs that didn't do much, and if people think of them, 99 out of 100 people would say Popular if they remember them.
