Two-Hit Wonders?

We all know about one-hit wonders, those recording artists who record one good - or not so good, but memorable/popular - song and then are never heard from again. (Macarena, anyone?) But at least one local radio station does Two-Fer Tuesdays. So last night, as I'm driving toward my crash-pad for the night in Katy, I hear a two-fer from Blue Oyster Cult. "Burning for You" and "Don't Fear the Reaper." And of course, as random meaningless things do, it got me to thinking. After all, are there any other BOC songs that ever made it big, at least in a fairly mainstream way? No, of course not. So I tried to think of other two-hit wonders. The Romantics ("What I Like About You" and "Talking In Your Sleep")... Falco ("Der Kommisar" and "Rock Me Amadeus," though he did have other songs I know and like)... Damn Yankees ("High Enough" and "Come Again," though the band was WAY underrated; check out "Piledriver" if you get a chance)... Hard to think of very man though. It seems like most artists are one-hit, or one-album, wonders. Very rarely do you run across bands with two hits, no more, no less.

Of course, I welcome any and all input on this, and now that I've put it out there I can imagine I'll have half a dozen responses reminding me of bands I'd forgotten.

At least I hope I do; this darn blog doesn't indicate how many times a post is viewed, so I don't even know how often it's read, much less by how many people, or whom.
