Sorry Tx this one doesn't qualify. First, this song is a remake of The Allman Brothers song called "Dreams" and second Molly Hatchet had a couple of hits including "Flirtin' with Disaster".Quote:

Well...there's a few B's off the top of my head. Big Country is one of the most underrated bands in history, in my opinion. Had a nice career spanning three decades in Scotland.
Good point, and that was a great song too. Especially considering the background to the song.Quote:

That's where things can get complicated. Is it OK to include groups that are widely identified by one song (or there's a hunch it'll reach that point) even if they have other chart success/popularity? Does one-hit suggest big song by an otherwise "flash-in-the-pan" or the sole extreme-high by an artist?Quote:

(a) Chumbawamba performed for 15 years before it struck (and recorded for about 10 after), almost too much longevity.
and (mainly):
(b) the album containing it is, I think, quite strong overall, with other cuts I consider better. (And I'm sure a lot of people bought it for the single and hated it)
I'm pretty sure Follow You Down was bigger on the charts. Found Out About You also charted. Good 90s band though.Quote:

Funny aside - a housemate of mine owned the CD, and at one point asked me if I wanted it. I was curious to hear the rest of the album ... I was pleasantly surprised. But he never let me play it when he was around! :laugh:
