cindy lauper - girls just wanna have fun
suzanne vega - tom's diner

lionel richie - hello
soft cell - tainted love
nena - 99 red balloons
survivor - eye of the tiger
marrs - pump up the volume
frankie goes to hollywood - relax
human league - don't you want me
eurithmics - sweet dreams
roxette - it must have been love
yello - oh yeah
new order - blue monday
bee gees - stayin alive
snap - the power

Ok, let's see here. Cyndi Lauper had another big song with Time after Time. Lionel Richie had other big songs with All Night Long and Say You, Say Me. Suzanne Vega had another big song with Luka. Roxette had other big songs with Listen to Your Heart and Dangerous. Soft Cell, Nena, and Frankie Goes to Hollywood are one-hit wonders. I'll give your Bee Gees, New Order, the Eurithmics, Human League, and Survivor though. The rest I haven't heard.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood - 2 Tribes? That's another one a lot of people know.

That's sad...most people know a LOT of PF songs. What about "Hey You", "Comfortably Numb", "Time", Run Like Hell", "Wish You Were Here"...

Again....people know Zep for a LOT more songs than Stairway. A lot of people would say they are more known for Whole Lotta Love because it was their only US single.

A few more:
Don McLean--American Pie
John Lennon (solo) Imagine
Johnny Cash--Folsom Prison Blues
Gordon Lightfoot--The Wrect of the Edmund Fitzgerald
Bon Jovi--Living on a Prayer/My Life (they're actually the same song)

Disagree with Johnny Cash there. I don't think he belongs on this list, but if anything, it would be either Hurt or I Walk the Line.

Johnny Cash was one of my influences People that were actually around in the 70's will remember "A Man Named Sue" the most. GREAT song!

Queen - We Will Rock You.

[mugs]

Most people KNOW more than one song by many of these bands (the big name ones like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Guns 'n Roses), they just don't realize it. They know the songs, they just don't know the artists.

And Pink Floyd sucks. (or rather, they're very overrated)

And Float On is one of their worst! Well not worst, but it sucks compared to their other stuff.

Soundgarden also had Blow up the Outside World, Black Hole Sun, both were pretty big as well.

My contributions:
They Might Be Giants - Istanbul (Not Constantinople) or Particle Man.
