Concrete and Clay is one of the best songs for a group that never had another hit.

Unit Four Plus Two not really a one hit wonder. Concrete and Clay peaked at #28 in 1965 but this was because there were two competing versions of the song(the other by Eddie Rombeau). I hit #12 in Cash Box. Interestingly, it was a #1 hit in England.

Unit Four Plus Two followed this up with You've Never Been in Love Like This Before which peaked at #95--so technically band not a one hit wonder.

The Honeycombs followed up their#5 hit Have I the Right? with I Can't Stop which peaked at #48.

The Walker Brothers other hit was Make It Easy on Yourself which peaked at #16 with 10 weeks on the chart. They also scored with My Ship is Comin' In which peaked at #63.

Glyn- so you know Love's Revelation. That's cool, very few people do. It's about 18 minutes long, and takes up the whole second side of Da Capo.

I tend to like long songs. Guess it's the Dead Head in me.

[barrysloate]

Me too. One of my favorite long songs is the Rolling Stones' Going Home.
Also Dylan's Desolation Row. And of course The Doors' The End.

Jim C.- you are a walking encyclopedia of pop songs. Did They're Coming to Take Me Away by Napoleon XIV make your top 1000? Also, did the Troggs have any hits other than Wild Thing?

I always enjoy Alice's Restaurant on Thanksgiving. I think it's about 16-18 minutes long. Great song.
