One-Hit Wonders... Part One!

One-Hit Wonders... Part One!

My first try at one of these - I've done the One-Hit Wonders thing a few times since, and absolutely love these. The phones really lit up for this one, with callers - mostly from Long Island, fwiw - either cheering me on or correcting me. There is SO MUCH GREAT MUSIC HERE that is far too overlooked... but these tracks are ALL stone-cold classics and important parts of pop/rock history, even though pop/rock historians don't know how to deal with them.
