I'm sure they had another "hit" and a f-ing hate them and wish you had never posted that as it has reminded me they exist.
This .
I think they did those dirges Lucky Man and The drugs donโt work anymore as well . The only saving grace of that song is that they had to hand over most of the royalties to the Stones for ripping off one of their songs . -

Quite a few of those have had other hits

@MiketheSnow I wasn't sure, was trawling an online list. Clearly their definition is not as stringent as ours

Gossssh some amazing tunes in here but only got half way through when I noticed a big red "BANNED" next to @Rancid-Schnitzel what have I missed?!? Update please and then I'll get back to the thread!
Also... I recently saw the vid for deeply dippy on TV and didn't realise how camp it was I thought it was 90s music fashion back then in my youth... Great band.

In the 60โs lots of American garage bands wanted to sound like the Beatles and the Stones.
Of the former, itโs hard to get past the Knickerbockers. This amazing song still gets played in grocery stores and many people still think it is the Beatles.
One of the very-best Stones ripoffs was The Chocolate Watchband.

Only US hit surprisingly
And only other Top 20 hit was 'New Pollution' in the UK

I now lay the trump card. This cannot be beaten.

Only because Bjork had more than one hit. Her singing ability is on a par with his.
Her and Beck have a sort of weird status amongst music nerds . -

@Catogrande That certainly got airplay in NZ at the time - about 40 years ago, I'd guess!
