I think sex & candy is the best of all time. The only thing that sucks about it is that it's only 45 seconds long.

Was going to vote for Ah Leah by Donnie Iris but just saw he actually had a higher charting song I have never heard.

I would not know of this if it weren't for XM, but Star has really grown on me.

When I was younger, I thought his was Bob Dylan for the longest time.

And, it wasn't until this very day that I realized Gerry Rafferty (Baker Street) was in that band.

Here's seven of my favorites which haven't been mentioned. If any of these groups aren't one hit wonders, that's news to me.

The Church - Under The Milky Way

Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over

The Icicle Works - Whisper To A Scream (Birds Fly)

Kajagoogoo - Too Shy

Mr. Mister - Broken Wings

OMC - How Bizarre

The Vapors - Turning Japanese

They probably qualify, but it's a shame because of how good Reptile and Metropolis are. I like both better.

The Breeder's Cannonball.

Those sister's were sexy guitar players. I think one of them got hooked on the heroin though.

Catchy song but I don't think they ever had another hit.

Blasting that song at full volume in my ride today, rocking out so hard and singing the chorus. That song is like ideal slow dance/wedding first song material like I BOW DOWN TO THIS SONG
