Some very questionable suggestions by Anders in this thread.
They are considered one hit wonders in the US. Even a-ha are, and they have had more than 30 hits in other countries.

I hear Change by Blind Melon out in the wild far more often than I hear No Rain.

It’s a good song.

I love it. I bought the album because of No Rain but that was the song that made me fall in love with the band.

I do too, as well as the La’s album, and the second Marcy Playground album.

That La's album is outstanding. I adore it. Not a bad song on that thing.

Is Modest Mouse considered a one-hit wonder with Float On?

Have Radiohead had any "hits" other than Creep?

Radiohead has had several hits, and have had a number one album.

Dashboard and Float On appears to have done about similar.

I think you can be a highly talented and well respected band, and be here. But you need one huge hit, while your second most famous songs are far behind in the charts.

I can understand Float On and Creep as suggestions. On Spotify, both songs are way out in the lead for those artists.

They played Tones Of Home first, around here. If you're into them, these guys have a ton of great songs. If I was younger, I'd take offence to their inclusion in this thread.
If anyone hasn't, they should listen to Soup. The album and the song. The song isn't on the album.

Soup is a great record.
