Probably not a true one hit wonder but close

Bands that have one legit mega hit and then one or two stupid minor turds piss me off in these contests.
 
Also Heart of Gold hit the teen girl mark hard. I was there

@RaceBannon

Neil played with Metallica. Most people don't know that. I think Neil has legit played with everyone of note ever.

Yep

Grunge made him a hero to a whole new generation

I wonder if Kurt Cobain would be a giant pussy today

Yella playing Heart of Gold on the harmonica would get them wet for sure.

Sadly my wife isn't into to Neil Young music.

Got sued by Mick

Cruel Intentions

Got sued by former Rolling Stones management, who had the publishing, IIRC… Mick and Keef got it back, and gave the writer the royalties back a couple years ago…yep, I need a hobby…
 
I just remember in the late 90's this was on TRL for like months.

Remember reading interview with the guy and he said he had a prior album that he felt was better but was squashed in a contract dispute.

Saw the Verve at Coachella.

90's was such an interesting music decade, with so much variety, and one hits so a lot to choose from.

Had to be the early 90s unless it had a resurgence in the late 90s that I don't remember.
 
Literally watched a video last night of top songs of each month of the 90's. Some surprises but some not so much.

Some other contendas off the top of my head:

I debated a bit on The Verve. I feel like they had more than just 1 popular song- e.g., they've got 3 cuts over 90 million listens on Roganify.

Spotify don't count for 90's music

Spotify allows people to explore other music by one hit wonders

As far as AM radio goes Neil was basically a 2 hit wonder - Old Man and Heart of Gold

I'm always amazed the Heart of Gold hit #1 on the singles chart. No wonder he went into the ditch.

Record company: Neil we want another Harvest!

Neil: Fuck off (how about Reactor, Old Ways, Trans, Life, Landing on Water, and This Note's For You Instead?

He chose a pretty damn funny way to make his point.

Edit...how could I forget Everybody's Rockin?

Closing Time is too obvious to me ... to the point that I've just never thought of it as a 1-hit wonder

To me a 1-hit wonder has to really include some elements to it of in real time really questioning how the song became as big as it did ... there has to be that knowledge in the time that they can't possibly do more. 4 Non Blondes is the definition of a 1-hit wonder to me
 
Those are all songs that would fit well as background music of a Friends episode. Truly awful music.

Whats next, Ross and Joey quotes? While you fags spent your thursdsy nights at home hosting your "friends'-"Seinfeld" parties, Pumpy was taking advantage of all the greasy ladies at the bars from 8-9pm, with no competition. (competition never mattered much anyway) Puppy was was well on his way to pumping while you nerds were watching 29 minutes of commercials, then the rest of the night playing world of warcraft.

Cant imagine how many semen filled trojans I left in girls apartments from 8-9pm on Thursday nights. You guys just left behind pizza crusts and mac and cheese boxes in your buddies apartments. Elaine was the closest you guys got to pussy back then. And you cant let the shit go, 25 years later .
