![]() Lots of interesting songs already in this thread. I'm going to listen to a few. However, here's your winner. Song is awesome (words don't even make sense to me at times) and the video was cutting edge back in its day. Drumroll please...

That's the way we'll plan it then Starting Monday Morning We'll get the nominations for it. Maybe a 64 song tournament, with the voting lasting 3 days instead of a full week.

![]() I say, Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 - which would as mentioned include Jimi Hendrix and also Rush, but would eliminate a-ha as they did have a followup #20 hit with "The Sun Always Shines On TV", and Quiet Riot who had a minor hit after "Cum On Feel The Noize"
So, take it fwiw but that's my vote for criteria anyway

![]() Good Question.
I would say right off the top of my head, An artist (Country, Pop, Rock, etc....) that had only one hit, and it would have to be something breaking the Top 40. Maybe a crossover artist that had a single top 40 hit in another genre as well. Thoughts / Suggestions ?

Anyways if we vote on the song, then we have to realize that certain songs have been done by multiple artists, some of which are not one-hit wonders. Prime examples of this would be Last Kiss which was remade, and in my opinion destroyed, by Pearl Jam. Tainted Love was remade, and I would say improved upon, by Marilyn Manson. Only the originals in this case would be considered one-hit wonders. And then you have the covers which are the one hit wonders. I can't think of a really good one off the top of my head, but I think Puttin' on the Ritz by Taco comes pretty close since I think it was Fred Astaire who first popularized it. Anyways I say we just keep it simple and vote on the artist just to keep things clear.

![]() As for qualifying artists, why don't we use the criteria listed here:

![]() I am loving this idea. Perhaps bracketing across genres and sub-genres? Because who could possibly decide between this
and this head to head?

![]() Of course simply going by chart criteria can lose some of the magic that is music itself, as Geddy Lee sang in "Spirit Of Radio" - "...music can still be open hearted, [and] not so coldly charted..."
Then again, that song only hit #51 so who really cares what it has to say?

![]() You can't put one of the most influential hip hop acts of all time as a one hit wonder.

![]() In addition to some already posted (using the 1 hit in the top 40 of the Billboard 100 criteria):
(one of the most underrated alt-rock acts of the 90s) |
