Jimi Hendrix and Buffalo Springfield would count, too
One fun way I spent wasting away my weekend (in between working, watching games and finally overhauling this site) was taking in all of VH-1's 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders. Even better was the companion marathon of videos on VH-1 Classic -- the reason my digital cable is worth it. A bunch of questionable choices, and some who weren't really one-hit wonders in the "official" sense -- not a top-20 hit ("Rappers Delight," "It Takes Two") or having other reasonably known songs (Devo, Thomas Dolby, Men Without Hats). But hey, it was fun to watch, and like all other lists, it's meant to stir up debate.
