There are so many pop one hit wonders.  Others are hard to classify.  Living Colour has already been brought up.  They only had one hit, but there is more to them than that.  It's like saying Danzig is a one hit wonder because Mother got some airplay 5-6 years after it was released.

Well, yeah, there is more to Living Colour and Danzig than that....just like the Grateful Dead and "Touch of Grey".  However, when talking Billboard 200.....they're all one hit wonders.  Casual music listeners most likely don't know who Living Colour were, let alone that Vernon Reid played lead guitar for them.  Danzig is not known by folks outside of a certain age group and/or folks that listen to metal.  The Dead are another story....but still, one charting hit.


BTW....is Tubthumping the song you refer to, or was that the album?
