Beck had multiple hits that made the Billboard Hot 100.

Loser made it to 10, Where it's At went to 61, E-Pro went to 65. And those are just the first three I looked up.

Blink 182

What's My Age Again peaked at 58 on the Billboard Hot 100. All The Small Things, from the same album, peaked at 6.

The Rock Show went to 71. I Miss You went to 42.

I know what Jammer meant; those bands he listed only had one top-10 charting hit each, so in the strictest sense they are "one-hit wonders," but it feels wrong to call them that because they have long and notable careers with sustained success and large followings.

Mine has to be Blind Melon...both their proper records are pretty fantastic.
