So let's see how many we can come up with:

I'll start with:

England Dan and John Ford Coley - I'd Really Love to See You Tonight




and their other hit that excludes them from the "one-hit" thread...

England Dan and John Ford Coley had 6 Top 25 hits!!!

Its rarely heard these days but there was another hit from the same album, Good Girls Dont (But I Do), this song reached #11 on the top 40.

They released a few more albums but never had any more hits.

The Tubes also had Sushi Girl, Monkey Time and What Do You Want From Life

And then there is my personal favorite from 1975.

I think it's a real reach to call some of these "hits."

"Talk to Ya Later" and "She's a Beauty" received massive airplay in the early 80s, and "She's a Beauty" went to #10 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Mainstream Rock charts.


As for "WPOD", because of one word it didn't get much airplay. It's a good album, with "What Do You Want from Life?" also on it.

Romeo Void had two chart hits, their biggest was "A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)", 1983. In a style-over-substance dispute with their record company, the band quit in the mid-80s.

1981's "Never Say Never" and its memorable catchphrase... "I might like you better if we slept together..."

Yeah well, I didn't say ALL of them were a reach, I said SOME of them were a reach.
