What are your 'one hit wonders'?

Artists or bands you only like one song by, but you really really REALLY like that one song.

Doesn't count if only one of their songs is known by anyone.

Also doesn't count if you've only heard that one song.

Prince - Purple Rain

Ted Nugent - Stranglehold

How familiar are you with Prince's catalogue? Other than Doves Cry and PR, his biggest hits are in no way indicative of his best work.

Prince - Purple Rain

The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

John Mellencamp - Jack And Diane

Bjork - It's Oh So Quiet

Kid Rock - All Summer Long

Radiohead - Creep

Now, there are a lot of artist I only really know 1 or 2 tunes of that I like. But these... I actively tried to get into their other material but I just can't. Not for the life of me. In fact I generally hate these artists other than these songs.

From the same album:

-two songs you may not have heard and which I find to be quite good.

The hits. Also at least one full album (Purple Rain) that I can remember. There hasn't been one song other than Purple Rain that I've been able to stand. I find his music in fact to be quite awful. Actually there's that famous version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps from the RNR Hall of Fame where he does the solo which is also really good but I don't think that should count.

Korn - Falling Away From Me

I haven't heard another good song by them.

Freak on a Leash, Got the Life, Here to Stay, Did My Time....

And with the people labelling MJ as a one hit wonder.....

The OP uses the term one hit wonder but the definition of what he's looking for wasn't one hit wonders as such as i understood it but rather artists that you've just heard the one song from but you love the song immensely :)
