Since when were these one-hit wonders?

Fave one-hit wonder would be either Stiltskin - Inside or Deep Blue Something - Breakfast At Tiffany's

Why these guys didn't do more amazes me.

[Plotloss]

Stilskin did do more, in fact they did an entire album.

They didnt have any more success because they were in reality, shit. One trick pony a la Robbie Williams...

Depends on how you define on hit wonders - I think you'll find that both had only one chart hit.

[nobbybombshell]

A shocking fact re Stiltskin..the lead singer is now the lead singer of Genesis (this bit of info was off the radio)

[Plotloss]

Thin Lizzy had rather more than one UK chart hit...

Like your taste.

Secret Affair had another hit - My World.

Icicle Works - Love is a wonderful Colour(fantastic band!)
Split Enz - I got you
Devo - Whip it!

Another one which shocked me was More than a feeling by Boston.

How can a band do such a classic and produce nothing else?
