I know throw sh!t at me, but I think The Partridge Family's song "I think I Love You" was the best one hit wonder of the 70's.

The 70's were not that bad.

Mods pull at your discretion

Don McLean was not a one-hit wonder.

There are a handful of songs on that list that make me wonder why they were a hit. Ugh!.

Play That Funky Music by Wild Cherry was a favorite, but even more so after learning about some of the history that went into the creation of the song.

"White Bird", from an album called It's a Beautiful Day.

No flip side, no second album, no nothing. Just one album with kind of a cult following.

I liked Roxy Music, they would whip out show tunes and other stripped down chart toppers.

“I Think I Love You” was a big AM hit for the P-fam, bubble gum was still alive and well.

Layla.

Think I’d categorize ANYTHING Eric Clapton is in...as “Lifetime Wonder”.

Are we talking about only 1 time certain singers or groups hit the top 40 charts? Charlie Daniels had quite a few hits but he’s a country singer, isn’t he? So many of his populsr songs apparently didn’t cross over.

Also Harry Chapin had a number of albums, but limited success if we define this based on hot 100 or top 40 charts.

This is stupid. Don McLean had six top 40 hits in his career including his cover of Roy orbison’s crying which went top five.

Do the same thing with me for The Monkees. (They’re not the ‘70s so much). But I have a “Collection” with over 100 of their songs. Great music.
