This post is inspired by the recent Music Snobs show...

What singers/rappers have you heard casual listeners say they are one hit wonders,

but because you know more of their discog you shake your head?

I don't take it that way.
May 11th 2015

Well... it's the "wonder" part that implies that, really...
May 12th 2015

49
                               he had one hit on that chart.
May 12th 2015
51
                                    No, you actually said this...
May 12th 2015
56
                                         keywords: 'hit'; 'specific chart'

May 13th 2015
64
                                                                  The fact that Hendrix had 4 smash hit ALBUMS nullifies it tho...
May 13th 2015
66

May 13th 2015
67

De La Soul gets credit for "Feel Good Inc". Yup, it counts
May 12th 2015
17
      you & I know this, the average listener doesn't care
May 12th 2015
20
      isnt that just Dave?
May 12th 2015
21
           Yes, but that featuring was credited as De La Soul
May 12th 2015
22
           good move to use the brand name instead of just "feat Dave"...
May 12th 2015
23
           De La Soul got a Grammy for that shit, not just Dave
May 12th 2015
30

How are we categorizing "hit". I agree with SoWhat, in that
May 12th 2015
16
To me, a "hit" is what the audience of your genre digs.
May 12th 2015
18
it varies.

My definition is an act that's only known for one song...
May 12th 2015
38
Not sure why, but I remember 100% Pure Love the most from
May 12th 2015
40

May 12th 2015
44

50

May 12th 2015
52
      i agree with you about hendrix
May 14th 2015
74
           i'm using a very technical and relatively conservative definition.
May 14th 2015
76
           The problem with your and the authors ''objective'' definition...
May 14th 2015

           FOH!
May 14th 2015
