One Hit Wonders Of The 1990s
Sunday, February 28th, 2010The 1990s were a great decade of music. We saw the birth of many different bands whose legacy is still growing today. Bands like Pearl Jam, Radiohead, and Green Day are as big today as they’ve ever been before.
But, there were those bands that after having wowed us with their number one hit, suddenly disappeared into the abyss quicker than they had first emerged, like the saying goes, they entered in like a bolt of lightning but flew out like the wind.
Having a look back at some of those ‘one hit wonders’ of the 90’s most people can ‘name that song’ and even the year it came out but no one ever remembers the name of the bands that sung them.
Breakfast At Tiffany’s, everyone loved that song and it has been played again and again ever since. It was near the top end of the charts for some time but who can remember the band that sung it?
You probably wouldn’t guess it after ten tries, it was Deep Blue Something, the exemplary one hit wonder 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.
The Rembrandts, they are my third temporary sensation to make the list. Their hit song is played and listened to every day and many people wouldn’t even be able to put the name of the band to the hit song.
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.
But the questions is, who has helped produced the one hit sensations list for the 2000’s? That one is coming soon.
Aside from music, the writer additionally regularly blogs on grass fed meat and band saw meat blades.
