Yep, their 'Too much of heaven' song rocks!!!

Then, In Grid comes to mind, as well as Vanessa Paradis (Joe Le Taxi).

Severe music drought? How old are you???

Why? How about 'no love, and no friendship, just the dollar bill' - isn't that a sure winning hit?

Blur had one album that was promoted to any degree in America, and it contained one song that was perfect for American frat boys and beer commercials. They have plenty of great songs, if you can be troubled to buy (or steal) the albums. If you're looking for more Song 2's, you probably should look elsewhere.

Right, except I specifically stated in my first sentence that it was not a "one-hit wonder" necessarily, just a song that YOU liked.

Ha, yeah. Except that wasn't really a great song... More like a 5 minute pain in the arse.

How's about Hootie and the Blowfish? They had one or two really good songs on that one album, then they just up and disappeared.
