Closing Time by Semisonic
Really interesting stuff about their frontman Dan Wilson. It appears he's quite the songwriter. Let's just say Closing Time ain't the only hit he wrote. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Wilson_%28musician%29

I hate the abbreviated radio version of Fooled Around where they cut out a verse and a lot of that solo. And while i'm asking, what instrument makes that sound that's prevalent in the song?

What about Donovan. I can think of three songs by them, but I don't know if any of them make them a one hit wonder. Mello Yello, and Atlantis would be the two that would vie for that, but then you have Hurdy Gurdy man which probably not a lot of people know, but may have the first heavy metal guitar solo in history. Probably not. That's just me saying it and not based on anything.
Also "Hold Your Head High by Argent." Or did they have some other hits?

Here is Hurdy Gurdy Man. Maybe not a heavy metal sound to the guitar, but not something you heard a lot of in the late 60's.

I'm suprised nobody mentioned "To Love Somebody". That's a Bee Gees tune that has been covered by quite a few other musicians. Hell even my band is considering it to cover. Probably anyone who looks it up on here will have an "Oh yeah... I've heard that one." moment.
