    I'm actually loving all the One Hit Wonder songs!!! I forgot about a lot of them.

    GOS- have you heard Styx with Lawrence Gowan? He's actually wonderful! Well, in my opinion anyways. I love the new stuff!

    Every time I hear the song "Believe it or Not", I think of George Costanza from "Seinfeld" and his answering machine message..."Believe it or not, George isn't at home..."

    TBF i have actually seen Styx with Lawrence Gowan (on tour with Def Leppard) he's not too bad but for me Styx will always be DeYoung, Shaw, JY, Chuck and John. I like their stuff from the 70's and 80's.

    I was never a big DeYoung fan myself. LOVED everyone else and I'm sorry to say, what really turned me off of DeYoung, I believe, was the whole Mr Roboto thing. Anyways, have gotten to see them a couple of times now with Lawrence and was actually blown away by him. He's all over the stage and just such a personality, and sounds so great. After the first concert, I googled him and found out what kind a big star he already was in some countries before being asked to join Styx. I'm now hooked.

    But I know what you mean---this is really rare for me to like someone that has replaced an original member of a band, example: Journey---sorry, just not the same without Steve Perry!

    But again just my opinion.

    I agree Mr. Roboto was a bad move (some of the other songs on the Kilroy album were not too bad) but like you said i don't really like people replacing other members in a band (Journey, ect..) And i actually do like some of Gowan's solo stuff! he's good in his own right i think i just have a problem replacing one of my favorite members in the band but thats JMO

    But Anyway One Hit Wonders:

    Always Something There-Naked Eyes
    Rock On-David Essex
    Wasting My Time Default
    Soft Cell Tainted Love
    Dream Academy - Life in a Northern Town
    Semisonic - Closing Time
    Bad English - When I See You Somie
    Marc Cohn - Walking in Memphis

    My main guilty pleasure is Copacabana by Barry Manilow. I cannot listen to his other songs.

    Willie, Itchycoo Park is a great track.

    I have a Partridge Family CD (ducks)
    I have a Smokie CD (I don't know if they had any hits in the States but in Britain they had hits with covers of Living Next Door To Alice & Needles & Pins - unless they did the original of 'Alice', I'm not sure).

    So What is a great track.

    I have NEVER considered Abba or the Bee Gees to be guilty pleasures. I saw the Bee Gees twice & they were two of the best shows I ever saw. I can understand why they may be regarded this way as there was such a backlash against them at one point.

    As for John Denver I defy anyone to tell me that Rocky Mountain High isn't one of the best songs ever written. Stuff like Grandma's Feather Bed is a bit more dubious, I grant you.
