I don't know why this song crossed my mind today and I was like, who the fuck does that? Surely I'd heard of this band before, didn't they have some other stuff I liked? I don't think so.

I hate to admit it, but I always kind of dug that "Sex and Candy" song. Never bothered to check out anything else Marcy Playground had to offer, though.

Status Quo had quite a career, but they never hit big in North America.

Rack "Good" from Better than Ezra, Screwey. I really dig that tune. I'm not sure that's a one hit wonder band, but who gives a fuck?

This band may not be a one hitter either.

Good is a catchy tune, Whitey.
