"Call of the West" by Wall of Voodoo.

"This War" by Men Without Hats and "My Name is Ruin" by Gary Numan are also great songs.

Post a great lesser-known song from a "1-hit wonder" artist. Any era, any genre.

Oof. Calling Ben Harper a one-hit wonder is a punch to the gut.

You gotta read the post. I agree with you entirely.

I like MLD, but aren't they more of a zero-hit wonder?

May 9, 11:38am

This was big hit in the UK and went pretty far in the US alt music scene as well

I do know "Inside Out" but I wouldn't have called it a hit. Good call.

May 9, 11:51am

Whoah!! Did NOT expect a MLD mention. I think they're one of the most underrated 80s alternative bands. :ThumbsUp:

Taylor Swift - Trouble. I'm surprised she didn't have more hits after this one.

Yeah, "Catch Me I'm Falling" and "Heartland"

I’d forgotten about Catch Me I’m Falling. I’ve never heard Heartland.
