It can't be a one hit wonder if no one has heard any of these songs

I guarantee you have heard at least 3-4 of those songs.

If you don't know these songs, you didn't listen to rock radio in the 90s. This is a pretty comprehensive list

Better Than Ezra??

If you have a greatest hits album, you aren't a one hit wonder.

Good
Extra Ordinary
Misunderstood
Desperately wanting

Also, one of my Top 5 fav bands

Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss me


That song sucks so much ass
This made me laugh out loud.
I'm glad someone else hates it as much as me... GF sings it all the time and drives me up the wall.

I was surprised to see that they had three other songs that "made the charts".

Just off the top of my head:

Seven Mary Three - Water's Edge, Lucky
Silverchair - Ana's Song, Freak... and I'm pretty sure Straight Lines got radio time (otherwise I dunno how I decided to download it)
Better Than Ezra - Deseprately Wanting, Lucky, King of New Orleans
Stabbing Westward - What Do I Have To Do
Sponge - Molly
Candlebox - You, Far Behind

Hey Nav

My choices:

Mountain - Mississippi Queen

or

Norman Greenbaum - Spirit In The Sky

But one song that should be the TexAgs theme song is

The Youngbloods - Get Together

I'm starting to think this is a "I only listen to Kiss FM" thread rather than a one hit wonder thread

I could not name one, and I went to youtube and didn't recognize any when listening. You might have liked them, but they are a one hit wonder. Google "the wallflowers a one hit wonder" and there are multiple pages with different articles and lists naming them that. Sorry about your bottom.

This is basically known as THE quintessential one hit wonder by many people in their 30s 40s and 50s.

They are without question not a one hit wonder. "Sixth Avenue Heartache" was their first single and was quite successful. They were well known before "One Headlight" was released. "One Headlight" has definitely stood the test of time better, but who knows if it would have even been a success were it not for their first hit.

Just because you only remember one of their songs, doesn't make them a one hit wonder.

While I support your Better Than Ezra claim, this statement is not quite true.

6th avenue heartache was a top 40 hit and a top 10 rock hit. You're wrong.

Always lumped this song with never met a girl like you before by Edwin Collins I think?

Both obscure, and about chicks.
