PM Dawn - Set adrift on Memory Bliss

Anyone?
Who did Sunshine on a rainy day? Zoe or something?
Dexy's would be classed as a one hit wonder in the US. But what do they know
I believe he still is Steve Coogan's brother.Quote:
I think the lead singer was Steve Coogan's brother.
Cornershop is an interesting one - most djs believing that the 'Norman Cook awful remix' is their only output ever. Way to destroy a song, jive bunny.
Captain Sensible - Happy talk ;)
Have to disqualify this one. He had a few chart appearances as lead singer with punk rockers The Damned.Quote:

Okay its give away my age time but who remembers
Northern Lights by Rennaisance?
Story of the Blues by Wah
Matchstalk Men by Brian & Michael
I shoulda known better by Jim Diamond (was he also Phd? - okay leave him out!)
Kayleigh by Marillion
I've never been to me by Charlene (I know, I know, pass the si*k bag)
My favourite is 'Airport' by the Motors. Coldplay's CLOCKS sounds like a sample of it. I also liked Echo Beach which got an honourable mention above.
Is it worth starting a new thread for Irish One Hit Wonders?
There were a few decent bands in the late 70s early 80s, before we got arrogant and prosperous and if we had an economy then, they could have been contenders....
Africa by Toto?
I come from a land down under by Men at work
Safety Dance by ?
Marillion have been knocking around for years, with plenty of top forty hits.Quote:
