I really hate these type of lists because they never define what a “one hit wonder” is.

Just perusing this list Golden Earing is listed as one for “Radar Love”. Meanwhile, “Twilight Zone” actually charted higher than “Radar Love”.

Charlie Daniels is listed for “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”, even though “Uneasy Rider” and “In America” both charted in the top 11.

Just because other top 40 hits by a group don’t immediately come to mind doesn’t make them “one hit wonders” in my humble opinion.

Love Golden Earing.

Still have "Cut" in my collection. A couple of their other albums that I remember having have disappeared but that one remains.

Jim Croce Bad, Bad Leroy Brown is the first thing that popped into my mind. He did have a few other hits like Time in a Bottle, but I had to look it up..

How about “Dance with Me” by Orleans?
