I used to love A-Ha too, and think "The Sun Always Shines on TV" is infinitely better than "Take on Me".

Yes and Herman's hermits had as much influence during the British Invasion as the Beatles and Poison influenced hard rock just as much as Led Zeppelin and Bono's guitar work influenced as many shredders as Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen.thesuburbskill said:
imo they would definitely not fall under the 1hitwonder category ... id put them up there with the pixies and sonic youth in terms of how much theyve influenced modern rock
yertle-the-turtle said:Katrina and the Waves - 'Walking on Sunshine'
oh and 'More To Lose' by Seona Dancing is one of the most fantastic 80s pop songs ever. AND it has Ricky Gervais on vocals!

jick said:
Sorry I disagree. Human League made a bigger hit called "Human" and this to me was their "one-hit song."
Cheers,

Aqua followed up Barbie Girl with another hit Dr Jones.
Crash Test Dummies also had Afternoons and Coffeespoons. It didn't do as well as Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm, but I lived in the States when this song was realeased - can't ermember the chart position, but it got a hell of a lot of airplay.
Eagle Eye Cherry did well with Faliing In Love Again.
