    PM Dawn - Set adrift on Memory Bliss

    True to my current form on this thread - not a clue if this geezer had hits with some other band or indeed as PM Dawn.

    Anyone?

    Dexy's would be classed as a one hit wonder in the US. But what do they know

    I think the lead singer was Steve Coogan's brother.
    I believe he still is 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.

    Have to disqualify this one. He had a few chart appearances as lead singer with punk rockers The Damned.

    Mind you we could do with him for our next home game

    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....

    Marillion have been knocking around for years, with plenty of top forty hits.

    Toto had 'Rosanna' too.

    OMD (Orchestral Manouvers in the Dark) had more hits than a porn site while the wifes away.

    the excellent "Secrets" and the excreble "Seven Seas of Blue" come to mind. One of them also produced tesco-girl-pop-knacks Atomic Kitten

    I can't rememer. I was -1 when Word Up came out but that was like their 7th album, IIRC, and they didn't have any success as big after. Maybe in America they did.

    I have a Cameo "Hits" collection as I'd heard Candy and loved it. I knew about Word Up but I didn't know the name of the band. Anyway song number one was Word Up. And come to think of it a lot of the songs on the CD sound familiar but this is down to them being sampled in the hip-hop music I like.
