Thin Lizzy doesn't really fit into what a "one hit wonder" band really is. However, they did indeed only have one hit and they were fantastic.

I'll add Los Lobos

If I'm not mistaken their only hit was their cover of La Bamba..

I gotta say, I think it's very hard to beat Los Lobos. Good call TFTC.

I always associate them with Will The Wolf Survive.

Considering they had 4 songs reach the Top 40 (and one just miss it at 41) it's hard to say they only had one hit.

Los Lobos had 2 Top 40 songs. La Bamba went to number 1. Come On, Let's Go, another Ritchie Valens cover from the La Bamba soundtrack, went to #21 a few months later.

Come On, Let's Go
