I'm going to say Not Too Soon by Throwing Muses even though it may not have really been a hit, and despite the claim by another poster that they had another hit.

Their keyboardist was the last keyboardist for the Grateful Dead.

The Eurosnobs will argue that Paul Weller doesn't figure into this category, but I give it to Style Council for My Ever Changing Moods.

Return of the Mack mentioned above is a good one.

Whoever the frick sang No Diggity is another one, I think.

Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again (Naturally)

I did a little research, and apparently this guy was a two hit wonder. I'm counting it anyway.

Not sure about hit status, but "That's Entertainment" gets lots of play on Sirius.

I did not like the Jam back then, but like those songs now.
