one hit wonders
 
Okay, we all know that we've bought albums/CDs/downloads based on a single song, but was that song a "one hit wonder" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-hit_wonder)?

So, what one hit wonders do you harbor in your, otherwise stellar, collection?

Oh I forgot, I've got Tarzan Boy on my MP3 player. Big hit from 1986. Without Googling it, can anyone name the band?

How about a local Philly boy:

Robert Hazard (RIP) and the Heros- Escalator of Life

My brother picked up one of his later CDs (or iTunes...not sure) and it was very good. Kind of Petty/CSN/Dylan - esque. Very different from his early stuff.
