WTF Elledrive? How can you call J. Geils Band a 1-hit wonder?!?! Centerfold wasn't even their best song; Give It To Me is. They also had "Love Stinks", "Musta Got Lost", and "Freeze Frame". Maybe it's just cuz I'm from Mass, but most people I know have heard all those songs quite a bit.

and I wouldn't call OMD songs one hit wonder, many their songs were popular, for example enola gay or if you leave. neither a-ha, they have many popular songs, and they are active even now after 23 years.
