Oooh, good list. You were doing great until you got to Heatwave!

They also had a big hit with "Always and Forever," and "Groove Line" I think did respectably though maybe not hugely. So maybe 2.5 hits, which would make them the weakest link. Or, in this setting, the strongest. Anyway, disqualified!

Brother Louie- the stories

She was black, as the night.
Louie was whiter than white.
He took her home to meet his momma and papa,
Now they had a terrible fight.

One hit wonders... *ahem* Sugar and Spiders were minor hits. Toxicity was a big hit and Aerials is friggin huge right now and has been for a long time.

I'm glad someone said it.

I'm not sure who does it but the song Love That Dirty Water oh Boston your my home.

IIRC, this song goes back to the mid 60's. The name of it is Dirty Water, and it was done by
The Standells.
