I am remiss for not reading further. My definition of “one-hit-wonder” is someone you never hear from again. For me, because I always listened to entire albums looking for new music, there weren’t as many people that I never heard from again. It would have had to be someone I wasn’t interested in...

Especially in the era of MTV. DEVO counts as a One Hit Wonder ("Whip It!"), but EVERYone knows them for other songs as well (Freedom of choice, for instance) and their videos had high production values and earned heavy rotation ("Love without Anger" cracked me up, with stop motion Barbie chucking things at Ken before ripping his head off).
