Title: One Hit Wonder Classics
Post by: dell boy on Thursday, November 13, 2008, 22:56:48
One hit wonders ... groups who have made one real great track (memory lane again folks) ....
Argent - Hold Your Head Up - they did have a couple of minor hits with the likes of Liar etc, but Hold Your Head Up, total classic ....

Not a classic as in good way, but everyone old enough will remember it and the fact it kept Midge "I was the real brains behind Live Aid" Ure's Ultravox (with Vienna) from the number 1.

Which could open a whole new topic. Great songs that never got to #1.
