Jan. 4th, 2005 07:16 pmHere are the top 100 One-Hit Wonders, according to VH-1. The list looks a little heavy on the early eighties if you ask me, but what the hell, it's a free list. The ones I know and hate are italicized. The ones I remember and LIKE are bolded. The plain ones don't ring a bell. There is no reason for me doing this today. This is just today's post. Be glad it's not pictures of my cats.
