Music The music thread

[Vdubs]

Couldn't find our thread here, but since Varcoe's departure, I have ads online again. Can explain sometime.
Anyway, any themes?
Was wondering if we have ever covered one-hit wonders.

Think I read on the Cockatoo sponsorship thread that people will see ads now that Varcoe's sponsorship has finished, and before Cockatoo's begins (if that makes sense!).

I like the one hit wonder idea.
Someone like James1970 will likely come along and tell me they've had lots of hits , but I can only think of one by this band-

You explained it really well. The ads covered the page, thought this thread had been removed!
What about

Some debate this was a hit, but it was very listenable.

 

[Vdubs]

Pretty sure that was their only hit.

 

[Vdubs]

Unfair to say this was her one hit, but can't add any more, and this was a beauty.

 

[Pivo]

One hit wonder...

 

[Shai]

Seen these guys live, playing as back up to some big name overseas band (so big I don't even remember who they were), LH were better than the main act and yet, are 1 hit wonders *shrugs*

The Romantics had a couple more hits. But nothing as big as What I Like About You (which was a bigger hit here than anywhere else, thanks to Countdown).

 

[James1970]

One hit wonder...

Locally, yes, but Living in the Plastic Age was a Top 20 hit overseas.

Two hit wonders are alot of fun...especially when it's the same song...

 

[Big Tom 2013]

May be wrong, but believe this was a one hit wonder;

Lol, knew you'd get me on a technicality.

Quite sure I'm safe with this being a one hit wonder!-

 

[cats23]

Don't be too harsh on my selections James, I know both have had minor hits as well, but these are their only "smash hits" (that I'm aware of anyway) ...

 

[johncat]

Nice topic Vdubs.

Here's another for the list.....


And although this didn't hit top 10, it's Warren's best known "hit".....

 

[darren forssman]

Unfair to say this was her one hit, but can't add any more, and this was a beauty.

the prince live version with rosie gaines is superior to sineads.

 

[Shai]

Nice topic Vdubs.

Here's another for the list.....

The Vapors would have been my next choice, same era as Big Tom 2013 's post, so going back in time -



And 1 for karencatsfan

 

[Pivo]

catgal23, that's obviously Soft Cell's most well known song but this one is their best, imo (I won't post the "banned" version, don't wanna upset the kiddies )



As for more 1 Hit Wonders...

Sex Dwarf is a great song. You made me all curious to watch the banned version again-there's a lot happening in that clip.

For another One Hit Wonder, and maybe for the best in this case, although I love the singer's "walking dancing" ...

 

[karencatsfan]

I think 1 hit wonders are my favourite songs, I'm loving them lol.

Mickey was MINE Pivotonian, had it in my mind all day to post!!! It's a great song. But here's another-

 

[Shai]

Didn't mind this song, band has been compared to Matchbox 20 but I thought they sounded like Green Day here

 

[Vdubs]

Not sure if a one-hit wonder, but certainly the single best by Concrete Blonde. Love the DEEP voice of Johnette Napoltano.

 

[Vdubs]

And what about this bizarro?

 

[Shai]

1 for the theme -



And 1 for acoustic Sunday..

 

[cats23]

Had that Crash Test Dummies song in my head for months after it's release.

Temporary interruption to the theme to send some love to the BF sisterhood on International Women's Day, and to the BF guys for loving (at least tolerating ) us.

A classic from Aretha...


This one was written by PJ after being rejected. Great song...

A great rendition of this classic in light of your timely reminder.

 

[Vdubs]

I actually love this song of Tracy's.
