    Now i have to buy all these songs on itunes cus they are hit songs i grew up listening on the egde here goes 20bucks

    I agree with all of the picks EXCEPT the Verve!!! So many great singles from Urban Hymns. Edge played many tracks from the verve back in the day. Lucky Man especially. Should definitely be removed!!!!

    theres no way blind Melon can even be considered a one hit wonder.They have so many great tunes and multiple albums. A true defenition would be of a guy whos flipping burgers now or something crappy like that. I believe that Blind Melon would be a household name in music today if it werent for Shannons inner demons. God bless

    Nice list but there's one song that should've been included and that's Republica - Ready To Go!!

    This is my fav top 20 yet ,all the songs you forget about pop back at you like it was yesterday and i still remeber the words .

    Nada Surf - Popular Definitely should be on this list. MIA should definitely not be. She shouldn't have been on the Edge in the first place...plus its not even been a year since it was in daily rotation..gotta wait and see what else she does...not that I care though...

      @marcus blur is definitely not a one hit wonder...

    Heard this the other day, not bad Josie - although the Marcy Playground disc is very good (more than just Sex and Candy). I might put the Toadies "Possum Kingdom" in there, Crackers' "Low", Mathew sweet "Girlfriend" "Cut you Hair" from Pavement...granted, these ]robably didn't chart as high as your list - and didn't you have James' "laid" on there?
  12. Kyle posted on 05/16/2011 11:40 PM
    best one yet
  13. Franco Aquino posted on 05/18/2011 08:43 PM
    Sorry but the Flys "Got you where I want you" was not a hit at all. The Verve is not a 1 hit wonder. I can prove it. Lucky man was a big hit in Canada. Seriously if you think The Verve is a 1 hit wonder then you must think Faith No More is a 1 hit wonder as well which they're not. M.I.A. is not a 1 hit wonder. "Born Free" and "XXXO" are 2 other hits released last year. So Josie your top 20 of one hit wonders did make a lot of sense but some hits didn't make sense at all. Next time do your homework and don't cram at the last minute. Well here's my suggestions which you should consider next time. 1 HIT WONDERS JOSIE REALLY MISSED OUT *BOW WOW WOW "I WANT CANDY" *HOUSE OF PAIN "JUMP AROUND" *PROCLAIMERS "I'M GONNA BE 500 MILES" *RENTALS "FRIENDS OF P" *WHALE "HOBO HUMPIN SLOBO BABE" *CYPRESS HILL "INSANE IN THE BRAIN" *TOADIES "POSSUM KINGDOM" *PRIMITIVE RADIO GODS "STANDING OUTSIDE A PHONE BOOTH WITH MONEY IN MY HAND" (HAS TO BE IN TOP 20) *LUSCIOUS JACKSON "NAKED EYE" *SNEAKER PIMPS "6 UNDERGROUND" *MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES "THE IMPRESSION THAT I GET" (IN MY TOP 20) *REPUBLICA "READY TO GO" *LEN "STEAL MY SUNSHINE" *BEN FOLDS FIVE "BRICK" *FEAR FACTORY "CARS" *GARY NUMAN "CARS" *BAD RELIGION "21ST CENTURY DIGITAL BOY" (HAS TO BE IN TOP 20) *WEEN "PUSH THE LITTLE DAISIES" *HOOBASTANK "THE REASON" (BAD SONG) *CHUMBAWAMBA "TUBTHUMPING" *BETTER THAN EZRA "GOOD" *ROBERT MILES "CHILDREN" 9O'S TECHNO *LIZ PHAIR "SUPERNOVA" *MATTHEW SWEET "GIRLFRIEND" I hope this impresses you JOSIE. By the way can I have a job at the Edge? Soon-to-be out of business HMV just won't hire me. Thanks.

      @Franco Aquino Cypress HIll is def. not a one hit wonder. Neither is Sneaker Pimps, Hoobastank you've gotta be kidding.

    URGE OVERKILL "GIRL YOU'LL BE A WOMAN SOON" (HAS TO BE TOP 20)

    Decent enough list although some of the bands have many more hits than one. The Verve have about four or five hits, I mean Lucky Man was a massive song. I was surprised not to see Dexy's Midnight Runners with Come on Eileen.
