Lunatic Fringe is a keeper though, right?

Please for the love of Gan do not make me post the video for "Life is a Highway"

Ahh that's not that bad of a song. Same band, huh? I always thought that was someone else. Damn, I should quit and turn this over to you, Nick!! LOL





Though technically Cochrane did "Highway" solo and "Fringe" as a part of "Red Rider, no? If that matters then "Layla" is a sort of "One Hit Wonder" in that, Clapton recorded it with Derek and the Dominoes. What you think? Your opinion counts greatly with me.

And what say you to this one, Mr. Game Show Host? LOL

^Good call, Bill.

Im pretty positive these guys were a one hit wonder:

Same songwriter/singer, I'd go ahead and say tie goes to the runner on that one.

And I would say Layla counts. D&D was an all-too short project. The whole album is fantastic but that's the only radio hit.

Far as I know that's their only hit. I wonder how it would have gone over in the post-video era. In it's time though, who didn't love that song?

Me!! LOL

Derek & the Dominos don't qualify either IMHO, although Layla was much more popular.

You have to stretch the definition of hit a little to include "Bell Bottom Blues." Believe me, it was the first one I thought of, but it only charted as high as #91.

Someone teach me the ways of embedding please.

First thing I thought of was Mike and The Mechanics-The Living Years


Not too sure if they had any other hits

They had three top 40 hits. All I Need is a Miracle is more familiar to me.

Right click on the YouTube video, select "Copy video URL", then click on the icon and paste that URL in the box. (You also have to use a public server link not a secure server link. I think that was the problem you were having here. The URL should start with http:// and not https://.

There was about a year when I remember All I Need is a Miracle being everywhere I turned. I liked it at first and eventually hated it. Not a terrible pop song in retrospect but its ubiquity drove me nuts.

I would have been able to name The Living Years too, but what's the third hit they had? Cannot remember for the life of me and looking it up ruins the fun.

You'll recognize it. Bill would probably call it "Can You Hear Me Calling?"

I briefly considered Asia with Heat of the moment, but Im thinking they had another hit...

[Merlin1958]

Wouldn't you know it? Not ten minutes after posting, St. Elmo's Fire plays on the radio!!!

Pretty sure you're right on The Firm

Asia's other hit was Only Time Will Tell



I admit a nostalgic love for Asia. I was a big Yes fan for awhile so I loved any Steve Howe band.

So what's worse than a sweaty Olivia Newton John??
