Actually...
...Berlin had others "hits" (again, depending on how you interpt the word). Indeed...amongst fans (and many others) they were far more notorious for a song that proceeded "Take My Breath Away"....a song tilted simply "Sex".

Who the fuck said The Cult was a one hit wonder? Are you on drugs?
The Cult still has a ... err... cult following that would make any band jealous.
I still listen to the cassette when I want to hear some good old rock.
Next thing I know you guys are going to tell me that The Happy Mondays, Dead Kennedies, Pet Shop Boys, OMD, New Order and Depeche Mode were all one hit wonders. LOL BTW.. I never liked Depressed Mode..err Depeche Mode. Something about his voice made me want to poke my ears out. LOL

I didn't call him a one hit wonder, Hammerstein did. My argument was showcasing more singles and hits he had. Your argument is claiming what I wrote as hits, wasn't good enough for you and should have said was bigger. Get lost.MLAM said:
As usual, you can't read. In fact Hammerstein has been posting many bands in this thread who are not one-hit wonders, like 'Til Tuesday, Berlin, MC Hammer and others. MLAM, just stay on the politics board. You're wrong there too. LOL
For ruck:
The Cult only had one (1) pop-hit crossover: "She Sells Sanctuary". They had many hits in AOR (Album Oriented Rock) and are still cool today! "One Hit Wonders" is usually a term of songs that made America's Top 40 with Casey Casum, or anywhere near there.
What...

And the sign said
Long hair freaky people
Need not apply
So I tucked my hair up
Under my hat and
Went in to ask 'em why...
Back in the day... I had long curly hair 6 inches past my shoulders. Always wore ripped up jeans, rock 'n roll T's and construction boots. I remember working as a carny listening to this song on my little 9 transistor radio... wondering if that was my life's lot to work as a carny all my life. Did I go out and get a haircut? NOT.

Man....you guys are some TOUGH critics...band has a number single after their debut album, but they are "one hit wonders"...lol
......Boston's follow up album...."Don't Look Back", went platinum 7x over, and had a hit single "Don't Look Back". And then 8 years later they released 'Third Stage" which contain the hit "We're Ready", my favorite Boston song, and "Amanda", which actually was a #1 song in the USA...boffo said:

It was hard to top their debut album, which has to go down as one of the best debuts of all timeboffo said:
......Just heard another one hit wonder......... "Blinded by the Light" by Manford Mann
I didn't know that was Manfred Mann........that song always makes me think of the movie "Stripes"lenharper said:

Bill Murray was great in that movie, when he was teaching the squad to drill.
For a full month after JFK was assassinated, the irritating "Dominique" by the Singing Nun was #1 on Billboard, then she never charted again.
Coincidence?
I think not.
The Warren Commission made no mention of her, it's obvious that there was a coverup at the highest level of US government that has never been disclosed to this day.
