Favorite 'one hit wonders'
OK Chaps, looking for all your very favorite one hit wonders.
They can either be groups or artists which produced either one stellar album or just one single before vanishing forever.
Just to open the batting, my two offerings are:
One-hit album: Staring At The Sun by The Seahorses
One-hit song: Echo Beach by Martha and the Muffins
Steve aka 'Twelvebears' (it's a long story)
System: Technics 1210 Mk5, Jelco 750 arm, AT33EV via MF X-LP2 Phono Stage, Oyaide mat and record clamp. SB Touch via Marantz PM-11S1 amp and Wilson Benesch A.C.T. speakers. Mark Grant cables and PS Audio Power Plant Premier mains regenerator.

WTF does "Jimmy the Hoover" look like! love the song though!
Actually, same goes for the Animotion track (blinder, btw Steve) - seriously, WTF is all that centurion sh!t?
...and that Karal Fialka... seriously, I hope they did police checks on him before they made that video
