One Hit Wonders (Voter Thread) |
Welcome To The Canteen Music Dedication!! In our continued effort to bring music themes that you want, we continue this week with our Canteen voted thread of One Hit Wonders!This list was compiled from various sources. Some of you may disagree with an artist showing up in our One Hit Wonders list, but that's okay. We're not here to state that we are the authority on such matters. We're here to enjoy some music from popular artist (although, not popular for long) of their respective music eras. There are many artists/songs that are considered One Hit Wonders. However, we don't have all day and night to list them. We've gotta sleep now and again! Hehehe! We enjoy feedback. If you have requests, please ping laurenmarlowe on the thread or via FReepmail. As always, we greatly appreciate the opportunity to entertain our Troops, Veterans, and their family members. Enjoy!

My favorites - Stuck in the Middle With You/Stealers Wheel and Driver's Seat/Sniff 'N the Tears
To: GoldStarBrother
Oh yeah - I remember after the second album came out, that tune got some regular airplay for about six months to a year before disappearing like "Ball & Chain" did. On broadcast radio when they cue up Aldo Nova any more it's always just "Fantasy" and never anything else, as if that's the only song they ever did.

...........with apologies to anyone I may have left out......
Even though I admit I don't make all the Canteen music threads, this one strikes me as the most outstanding one I've clicked on to date. The quantity, variety and participation was simply outstanding this weekend! The DeeJays and others who piled on really took it to new heights. I know it takes some work to do this and make it happen, so job well done, and thank you all!
To: lapsus calami
Thank you. It does take a lot of work, but it is fun to see people enjoy the music.

I read that some (Fairbanks) parts of Alaska have been (for Alaska) pretty warm ~ in the 80's. {{HUGS}}
