	beck a one hit wonder really

	reyj:	Feb 25th, 2011 at 19:51 GMT		5 points
	i take that back beck, blondie, bush, collective soul, the eagles, disturbed, gorillaz, iggy pop, jet, kansas, korn, mgmt, oasis, radiohead, ramones, sex pistols, soundgarden, steve miller band, strokes, sublime, ted nugent, white stripes, and nirvana. Are you kidding me you clearly don't know music at all. Please for the love of god get away from sporcle and go listen to some music.

	@reyj: no kidding. this is bad. so many acts that don't come close to being one hit wonders.

	kennedyfan:	Feb 25th, 2011 at 20:56 GMT		1 point
	@reyj yeah, and the bloodhound gang and finger eleven probably shouldn't be considered "one hit wonders" either. both bands have some pretty big songs

	dipset26:	Feb 25th, 2011 at 21:51 GMT		1 point
	if you didnt say one hit wonders and instead songs that hit number one....it would be a great quiz..but YOU PUT THE EAGLES KANSAS RADIOHEAD!!!!! terrible source if there was one

	shadesgordon:	Feb 26th, 2011 at 00:07 GMT		-4 points
	the reason i have the eagles on here is because its the only song that anyone really knows. same with people who say that they are hardcore radiohead fans. kansas- dust in the wind is a crappy song it doesnt really count for anything so carry on is really their only true hit. bloodhound gang and finger eleven- name something else besides what i already named. beck i dont really know any better songs. bush- machinehead is kind of their only real hit. collective soul- there are a few other songs i know but shine is what they are most remembered for. disturbed- dwts is the only song anybody knows i can think of quite a few songs that are just as good but its the only song anybody really knows at all. jet- same thing its the only song anybody knows- nothing else compares to it. korn- they suck and thats the only song anyone remembers them for. same deal with oasis, ramones, sex pistols, soundgarden, strokes, sublime, the (gay) white stripes, nirvana (worst band ever). steve miller and ted nugent i can name plenty other equally as good songs but like i keep saying thats all they are remembered for. please stop being a classic rock fag and check out some underground metal acts such as hair metal. thats right reyj im talking to you. and im a music encyclopedia so dont question my knowledge these are the only songs the band in question is remembered for. many of these have equally as good songs but they are overlooked making them a one hit wonder. and btw who noticed how i put korn, nirvana, and white stripes as fag rock in the third collumn?

	this sucks dude, alot arent one hit wonders

	Beano73:	Jul 11th, 2011 at 12:28 GMT		1 point
	I have to agree with a lot of the negative comments here; are you seriously saying that Oasis and Nirvana (to name only 2) are just remembered for one song? If you are a "music encyclopedia" - your words, no-one elses! - then you will have the background knowledge to understand this. Having said that some of the other bands mentioned will fall into the range you have stated this quiz is about; constructive criticism - maybe the quiz could have been limited to 100 bands rather than 200, rmeoving the better known bands?

	Beano73:	Jul 11th, 2011 at 12:29 GMT		1 point
	And I also assume that as this isn't linked anywhere, and from your lengthy reply, these are your own personal choices? If this is the case, heck anyone can list a top 100 of anything if it is only on what your likes and dislikes are!

	Beano73:	Jul 12th, 2011 at 12:15 GMT		2 points
	One final comment as this has been bugging me - the true definition of a one hit wonder is just that - they had one hit. Blondie - ffs they had several UK number 1's so how can you mark down just one song, claiming this is what they are best known for, therefore making it a one hit wonder? I take back my comment of yesterday, safest thing to do would be to delete the quiz totally and start again. Or at least gen up a little better on how to make a quiz that others have any idea of understanding. Over and out.

	quiz was horrible most arent one hit wonders and some not even there biggest songs

	Alstair:	May 13th, 2012 at 00:32 GMT		2 points
	This is ridiculous. Why am I playing a quiz focused on one-hit wonders that wouldn't accept either of Duran Duran's number one singles or any of Blondie's four (four!) number one hits as an answer.
