Not necessarily "one-hit-wonders" per se, but what are some bands that recorded one song you liked, but just couldn't stand anything else they did?

One just to came to mind today: Toto-"Africa"

Porcupine Tree. The first song I heard from them, Wedding Nails, almost made me crash my car because it was so awesome. To this day I still love that song. Sadly, every single other song they wrote is nothing like that. Everything else is so slow and mellow and stuffy-sounding, not at all energetic or fun to listen to like Wedding Nails.

And before you start yelling at me, I know what prog is, and I know that their "stuffiness: is from their exquisite knowledge of music theory and odd time signatures and all that, and quite frankly, it bores me. Their music is not fun to listen to.

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit, but then again, that song wasn't really that great, it was just released in the midst of a severe music drought, so people had the perception it was good.

What about "Rosanna?"

BTW, VH1 had a whole series of specials on one-hit wonders. Nena, Weathergirls, etc.
