As you can see, my fave is Men Without Hats. I also like the Information Society, Naked Eyes, Queen, and Matthew Wilder. What about you guys?

The Alan Parsons Project and The Blues Brothers.

I don't know much music from the 80s, but I like Queen and Karma Chameleon by Culture Club is one of my favourite songs.

The Alan Parsons Project and The Blues Brothers.

Those were movies

 

[Dr. Javelin]

The Alan Parsons Project wasn't a movie... was it?

And the Blues Brothers did release actual albums, and weren't just a movie.

Bam.

My favorite band that put stuff out in the 80s is Electric Light Orchestra (although they're my favorite band period), but I really enjoyed the stuff Rush, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Traveling Wilburys, and The Moody Blues put out in the 80s too. Queen's 80s stuff wasn't bad either.

You, my friend, obviously need to listen to some of their music.

I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just curious: have you actually heard any other songs by Information Society, Naked Eyes, and Matthew Wilder, other than their biggest hits ("What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy)", "Always Something There To Remind Me", and "Break My Stride", respectively)? I don't know many people that have, and it honestly bugs me when people say they "like" a band when they've only heard one or two songs by them.

I could be wrong, for all I know, maybe you have listened to some of their other songs. I'm just wondering, since it would be really interesting to know of someone other than me that likes to delve into a one-hit wonder's discography and see what else they've done.

Simple Minds, the Human League, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, the Cure, Talking Heads, Madness, Tears for Fears, Level 42, Queen, ABC, Yes, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Electric Light Orchestra, XTC, Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, Heaven 17

Narrowing it down to 17 was very hard.

I don't necessarily do that with one-hit wonders, but I sometimes do that with bands I only know a couple of songs by.

Well, it's their opinion, deal with it
