FoGs Greatest REAL One Hit Wonder

[Declan A Walsh]

Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up        Vs        The Lotus Eaters - The First Picture of You - Two great songs. All things being equal, I have to vote for the one I nominated!

DJ Aligator Project - The Whistle Song        Vs        Matthew Wilder - Break My Stride - Passible dance tune beats irritating one!

Eamon - Fuck It        Vs        Mr President - Coco Jamboo - ABSTAIN - Don't like either.

Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning        Vs        Chesney Hawks - One And Only - I like both, but the second is better.

Alabama 3 - Ain't Goin' to Goa. Was really happy to see that the mighty Alabama 3 made the charts once. Bit disappointing they didn't have more hits, they deserve to be bigger.

The Champs - Tequila        Vs        Don Henley - Boys of Summer - I was quite surprised to discover that this was the only solo song by Don to reach the Top 40 in the UK as I was quite familiar with some of his other American hits.

Everything But The Girl - Missing (Todd Terry remix)        Vs        The Proclaimers - 500 miles - Please let the latter go 500 miles away from this competition!

Hot Butter - Popcorn Vs Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles

4 Non Blondes - What's Up? Vs Soft Cell - Tainted Love - While it is quite a good song, there are other Soft Cell songs that I prefer. That said, as a ROHW in the US, it was still quite good.

Godley and Creme - Cry Vs Nicolette Larson - Lotta Love - One of my nominations. It is a bit of a hidden gem, being a ROHW in the US and given that she did not have a hit in the UK. The former is a good song too and I am pleasantly surprised to find that G&C had a hit in the US.
