    A-Ha. They were Technically a two-hit wonder with that one song that wasn't nearly as big as "Take On Me", though.

    John Denver was a one-hit wonder? I thought he was renouned as some form of a music legend.

    Alient Ant Farm. Ever since that Wacko Jacko cover, I haven't heard a thing from them (not that I enjoyed it, though).

    I'm not sure if you're serious, or just trying to pull my chain. I'll go with the former, and have fun proving you wrong.

    John Denver is known as one of the greatest music artists of the 1970's, and it's certainly not because he was a 1-hit wonder. The album you chose to post, Rocky Mountain High (released in 1972), contained probably his most famous hit, <i>Rocky Mountain High</i>, however that's absolutely nothing to his overall resume. The year before, in his Poems, Prayers, and Promises album, he found success in the #1 hit <i>Take Me Home, Country Roads</i>, and from his greatest hits album (still one of the best-selling albums ever), <i>Sunshine On My Shoulders</i>. Three years after RMH, he released Back Home Again, which went platinum.

    To say that John Denver was a 1-hit wonder is a ridiculous claim. I can name, easily, 10 songs that most people from that time should know:

    Leaving on a Jet Plane
    Take Me Home, Country Roads
    Sunshine On My Shoulders
    Rocky Mountain High
    Back Home Again
    Annie's Song
    Thank God I'm a Country Boy
    Calypso
    Perhaps Love
    Seasons of the Heart

    He was a household name from 1969-1980, but after that his success declined. To say that he was a 1-hit wonder is just a flat-out stupid claim.

    I certainly would not practically worship a one-hit wonder, I guarantee you. He should be a 50-hit wonder, from all of his less-known songs that I know of now.
