Posted By: <b>JimCrandell</b><p>To respond to my own post, let me start by correcting errors that were made in the prior one regarding one-hit wonders:<br /><br />1)Time Won't Let Me by the Outsiders was not a one-hit wonder--they had strong follow-ups with Respectable and Girl in Love.<br /><br />2)Incense & Peppermints by the Strawberry Alarm Clock was also not a one-hit wonder. They had a solid follow-up hit with Absolutely Right.<br /><br />3)Don't Talk To Strangers by the Beau Brummels was not a one-hit wonder either. I would guess that both Laugh Laugh and Just a Little were bigger hits.

Posted By: <b>Al C.risafulli</b><p>Good for you, Jim!<br /><br />The Ramones were better than The Clash, and The Raspberries were not a one-hit wonder either. "Go All The Way" was big, but so was "I Wanna Be With You."<br /><br /><img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />-Al

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Just play me some good ole "Rock" from the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's....and early 1980's.....or,<br />some Dave Brubeck, Lionel Hampton, George Shearing, or the "jazz-rock" style of Chicago....<br />it's music I can really enjoy and lyrics I can understand.<br /><br />And, as far as I'm concerned...."THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED"....was a day in the mid-1980's.<br /><br />Shortly, after Fleetwood Mac, Hall & Oates, Kim Carnes, Melissa Manchester, and Blondie<br />left the scene.<br /><br />T-Rex TED <br />

Posted By: <b>JimCrandell</b><p>Red Rubber Ball was written by Paul Simon who almost immediately regretted it, calling it in later years the "silliest song" he has ever written. However I liked it--song peaked at #2 as I just learned from XM radio last week. The Cyrkle followed up Red Rubber Ball with a medium hit entitled "A Turned Down Day".<br /><br />Jim
