Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal (Hell, I still listen to that song, I love it even though its like 3 years old:blah: )


A band who is gonna be like a one album wonder is Three Days Grace. I predicted that right after "Just Like You" came out..

I like them and all, I think their pretty good, but I just honestly think that their album will be their only popular one (if they were to release another). Like alot of ppls like(d) many of those 1 hit wonder song people...like honestly I thought Alient Ant Farm would of done better, but they did release other cd's, other singles, but no one bought them, no one listened to them, and now look at them, labled as a one hit wonder

I think "the old apartment " was as big of a hit for them as any. I wouldn't put them in the one hit wonders category. They have had alot of hits.

how about: Fastball- The Way
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones- The Impression That I Get

I would think that it means that its a band that only had 1 song on the singles billboard.:confused:

What about "Say Hello to Heaven?" It was on the radio for a while too. I had always hoped that Chris Cornell would have shown up at one of the Pearl Jam shows that I've been to, so they could break out some Temple of the Dog.

lol,survivor is far from a one hit wonder.on top of "eye of the tiger",you might want to add "no easy way out","high on you","burning heart" and one of the greatest ballads ever,"the search is over" just to name a few ;) i'm sure if you pick up survivor's greatest hits,you recognize most of their songs.;)
