Posted: Sat Nov 12, 2005 5:19 pmNone of these bands I'm going to mention are exactly unremembered, but I do think they are classifiable as "one-hit wonders" and novelty acts while in actuality, they made some good music outside of the big hit the public at large remembers them for:
[b]Men Without Hats[/b] (known for Safety Dance, also worthy for Antarctica, I Got the Message and parts of the Pop Goes the World album)
[b]Trio[/b] (known for Da Da Da, also worthy for Anna (LetMeInLetMeOut), Hearts are Trump, Sunday You Need Love Monday Be Alone and Broken Hearts for You and Me)
[b]Wall of Voodoo[/b] (known for Mexican Radio, also worthy for the entirety of their first 2 albums)
[b]The Vapors[/b] (known for Turning Japanese, also worthy for loads of their recorded output)
I know people remember these bands, but it's largely to poke fun at them. A Flock of Seagulls gets the same bad rap (Known for I Ran, worthier still for Space Age Love Song and some really great songs off their first three albums)...
I realize some of these bands are lightly coated with a layer of nostalgic cheese, but I get tired of having to defend them (and new wave in general.)
I have a lot of frenz who like to hear some of this stuff occasionally, but it is almost taken as a joke by them. With the knowing smirk...you know.
But while I dig on lots of different music, it's these bands and others from the same time and same general genre who I keep coming back to because they bring me so much pleasure.
