The 1990s were a great decade of music. We saw the birth of many different bands whose legacy is still growing today. Bands like Pearl Jam, Radiohead, and Green Day are as big today as they've ever been before.
On the other side of the equation, there are some of those bands who penned a big hit, winning them a legion of fans. Unfortunately, these bands never managed to cash in on their success by following through with any more hits.
Let's take a look at some of the biggest one hit wonders of the 1990s. There's a better chance that you'll remember these bands' songs than their actual names themselves, so I'll mention both of these.
Remember the song Breakfast At Tiffany's? People went crazy over that song for months, as it sat near the top of the charts. Can you remember the name of this band?
I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't, because they never neared the success of this hit anytime after. Their name was Deep Blue Something, and they are one of the quintessential 1990s one hit wonders.
Here's another one. How about the song "The Way"? This one was released during the late 1990s, and many absolutely loved it. In fact, it still receives occasional airplay today. Unfortunately, the band was never ever to replicate the success shown in this song.
A third band to make this list of fly by night sensations is The Rembrandts. Amazingly, their song is played every single day, and many listen to it without realizing it.
Their hit song, I'll Be There For You, was so popular and so catchy that the hit TV show Friends decided to use it as their theme song. This band also faded into obscurity shortly after the success of this hit.
Who will make the one-hit wonders list of the 2000s? As the decade has just ended, we may very well be able to create this list quite soon.
