One Hit Bands From The Nineties
I loved the music of the 90′s and still do today. It was the decade that saw the arrival of so many bands that became huge successes such as Radiohead and Green Day, which are still huge even today.
On the other side of the equation, there are some of those bands who penned a big hit, winning them a legion of fans. Unfortunately, these bands never managed to cash in on their success by following through with any more hits.
These are formally known as one hit wonders and no one can ever remember the bands names only the title of the hit songs, for obvious reasons.
Take the song Breakfast At Tiffany’s for my first example. When this song emerged, the crowds went wild for it but as with many other one hit wonders, no one can recall the name of the band, can you?
Don’t worry if you don’t remember, not many people do for the simple reason that this band never had the same success with any other song after that one. They were called Deep Blue Something and they, as a band, were one of the more famous one hit wonders of the 90′s.
Try another one, “The Way” which was a hit during the late 90′s and loved by many. This one actually still gets played even today but the band never managed to make another song as good at that one.
A third band to make this list of fly by night sensations is The Rembrandts. Amazingly, their song is played every single day, and many listen to it without realizing it.
Their hit song, I’ll Be There For You, was so popular and so catchy that the hit TV show Friends decided to use it as their theme song. This band also faded into obscurity shortly after the success of this hit.
Who will make the one-hit wonders list of the 2000s? As the decade has just ended, we may very well be able to create this list quite soon.
