I definetly thought Smash Mouth was done after "Walking on the Sun"

Seriously, I think the US has atrocious taste. Ja Rule? Ashanti? Creed? Linkin Park? The Dixie Chicks? Shania Twain? Inexcusable. Note that a lot of great artists are bigger elsewhere than here as well, like Madonna, the Cure, Eurythmics (Annie Lennox) and Kylie for example.

When Beck first came out with "loser" i thought it would be a one hit wonder novelty song...but he had many more great singles and hits after that.

It seems many people thought the same thing. Radiohead were smart enough, and talented enough to know how to evolve.

That is some insult to all great artists.

* Destiny's Child fa sho'
* B2K mos' def'

Madonna, but I was very wrong. After 20 years she's still around...

Moonbeam said:

so... chart success is now the measure of talent? artistic success?

that you put Kylie in the same group as Annie and the Cure, really shows just exactly how misguided your rabid obssession with her is

AaronUnlimited said:

OK Mr. Paula Abdul, Mr. Backstreet Boys

Chart success is not a measure of talent- certainly not in the US. However, other countries give worthy artists much more of a chance.

I wanna be your lover

I CAN'T believe no one has mention Lenny Kravitz!

When LET LOVE RULE came out, I TOTALLY thought, "wow, this is great, but he's SOOO up John Lennon's ass that he'll never go anywhere. Great chameleon, but there's no future in it".

Little did I know he was also up Curtis Mayfield, Hendrix, Prince, Sly and every other black to white crossover. The man is STILL a chameleon that can't write a decent lyric to save his ass, but he's still churning that refried crap out.

AND ME'SHELL N'DEGEOCELLO just put out a fabulous awesome album with some SERIOUS style. Go watch her play live - she plays keys, bass, she's the BOMB.

"OK Mr. Paula Abdul, Mr. Backstreet Boys

Chart success is not a measure of talent- certainly not in the US. However, other countries give worthy artists much more of a chance"

Well, THAT and Kylie still has cute boobies that she shows any chance she gets. That's why Madonna is still popular too!!

Moonbeam said:

that's because they have less to work with.

Some folks may not remember, but during those early years Lenny was referred to as "Mr. Bonet" since he was married to a more famous half at that time.

Now most people don't know what even happened to Lisa Bonet, because the films she's in usually tend NOT to be major films, i.e. big budget movies. She's almost underground, and he's mainstream as mainstream can get.

coldplay

Third Eye Blind, "Semi Charmed Life"

TLC

i'm glad somebody bumped this thread back up here. i still say Kylie. two times, for her status as a 2-time 1-hit wonder

No doubt
Backstreet Boys
Anastacia
Nelly

she'd need to have a hit to be a one-hit wonder

Nikka Costa... oops. my bad. she is

AaronFantastic said:

Sometimes, people just ignore the facts.

TRON said:

Apparently so!

TRON said:

i know. i wish everyone would accept the fact that Kylie is a talentless tart that's wouldn't know what to say or do if Madonna hadn't done it 2 years earlier, and she was lucky enough to get lucky with real honest-to-goodness American success twice.

AaronFantastic said:

Actually, I was talking about the fact that 'Love At First Sight' was a hit. A fairly big one too. I imagine she'll have more here in the near future.

AaronFantastic said:

Whatever. You're right, I'm wrong, as always. I'll let you win. This place means a lot more to you than it does me anyway. I don't understand why you purposely try to piss me off about this.

TRON said:

actually it wasn't. it didn't crack the top 20.

AaronFantastic said:

Anything that gets to #1 on TRL is a legitimate hit in my book.

Can you guys just give it a rest? please?

Moonbeam said:

I don't know why you let it piss you off. This place doesn't really mean that much to me at all. I don't know why you get so upset because someone says that someone you like sucks, when you do exactly the same thing all the time. How many times have you said that the Beatles suck? And you don't even have a reason for it.
