Stabilizers, from the album Tyranny, still one of my faves, great band.
Another great song by them, that is appropriate today is the title track Tyranny. Listen to the words carefully.
I can see you've got things well in hand You seem to think this is your promised land No parade without a tip of your hat If the people cry -- you give them what they ask Both good and bad -- and as the sky turns black CHORUS: What's a little tyranny to you? When all you need to do -- is come to me So what -- what's a little tyranny Now the plan begins to take some form I could swear you had a soul before You're in command -- holding tight to your course You close your hand and promise them much more From behind your door -- they've heard it all before CHORUS Now it seems your luck is running down A masquerade in pieces on the ground The fear you've lost has suddenly been found They've come for you -- go to your angry crowd Hear them calling out loud You're wearing a smile through the frown CHORUS |

Quote HistoryI don't know exactly what the definition of a hit is but some of those bands have more than one song that I hear often. Smithereens: A Girl Like You Blood and Roses Only A Memory Level 42: Something About You Lessons In Love Howard Jones: Things Can Only Get Better No One Is To Blame What Is Love? Everlasting Love New Song Like To Get To Know You Well |

These guys had a few minor hits with this one being the most popular. However they had one of the best albums of all time "The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus". Check it out.
When Led Zeppelin first came to America they were the opening act for Spirit on tour.

Boyce and Hart wrote a lot of hits but this was the only one I can remember that they recorded. Some of the hits by the Monkees were written by these guys.

Kind of stretching the limits of a "one hit wonder" due to the fact that the band is essentially The Talking Heads without David Byrne, but it is the only song that went anywhere out of this album as I recall after David Byrne too legal action.

Yeah, a little strange, but they were.
Bauhaus, with Peter Murphy on lead vocals.
And since it's related, and he's also a one hit wonder, sort of, Peter Murphy solo. He had a great voice.

These guys really had talent as well. Always loved this song, but I'm going to post a second one that will blow your mind if you listen and really think about the lyrics and what they mean. Very deep stuff.
World Party
This one is deep my brothers of the church of ARF, bow your heads and digest this scripture.
Here are the lyrics. Good stuff. Karl was a genius. Many years ago He Looked out through a glassless window All that he could see Was Ba-bylon Beautiful green fields and dreams and learned to measure the stars but there was a worry in his heart He said How could it come to this? We're really worried about living How could it come to this? Yeah we really wanna know about this Is it like today? Oh-oh-oh Then there came a day, moved Out cross the Mediterranean Came to rest on isles and the Greek young men And with their silver beards they laughed At the unknown of the universe They could just sit and guess God's name Is it like today? Oh-oh-oh Then there followed days of kings, empires and revolutions Blood just looks the same When you open the veins And sometimes it was faith, power or reason as the cornerstone but the furrowed brow has never left his face He said How could it come to this? We're really living in a landslide How could it come to this? Yeah we really wanna know about this Is it like today? Oh-oh-oh Then there came a day Man, packed up, flew off from the planet He went to the moon, to the moon To, to the moon, the moon now he's out in space Hey, fixing all the problems He comes face to face with God He say How could it come to this I'm really worried about my creation How did it come to this You're really killing me you know It isn't just a day Oh-oh-oh Is it like today? Eh-oh-oh Is it like today? Oh Bang! I love this version. Some chick singing it but it's great. Sheryl Crow covered it but not as well. This is beautiful. It gets really good in the second verse.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Sad - at least two on this page duped from earlier in the thread - not calling anybody out, one was mine. 
Making up for it? The Call had one other minor hit, that nobody probably remembers. This was their only top 20 song. to2KasivROcQuote HistoryQuoted:

eta - backstory of Robert Been of BRMC and this song. Robert Levon Been (born August 22, 1978), previously known by the stage name Robert Turner, is an American indie rock bass guitarist, guitarist, and singer. He is currently a member of Los Angeles-based band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club[1] and was, for a time, a bass player in a band known as The Beggars, going under the name 'Robert Locke'. He is the son of Michael Been of The Call, and appeared as bassist on his father's 1994 solo album, On the Verge of a Nervous Breakthrough.
His father suffered a fatal heart attack in 2010 while working as a sound engineer during the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium, where BRMC were appearing. Robert Been used the pseudonym 'Robert Turner' on Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's first two records, in an attempt not to be linked to his father. He later dropped this identity when promoting their third album, "Howl". In 2013, BRMC covered his father's song 'Let The Day Begin' on their album Specter at The Feast. Later that year, he appeared in two concerts with a reunited The Call, taking his father's place on bass and vocals |
