Renaissance perhaps, though they produced some wonderful albums, but Split Enz evolved into Crowded House, who had hits aplenty.

Day Trip to Bangor - Fiddlers Dram (who evolved into the Oysterband, festival favourites but hitless)

SpizzEnergi - Where's Captain Kirk?

They are still technically one-hit wonders. How many of them actually were in Crowded House?

Dana - All Kinds Of Everything.

Eurovision is on this weekend as well.

Afroman 'Because I Got High'

Wonder why he didn't have any more hits? ;)

Had she? That was the only one of hers I knew.

Speaking of Euro Visions, who can forget Gina G and her 'Ooh Ah, just a little bit'. What a great song that was back in the day.

The Finn brothers, Neil and Tim, and the drummer Paul Hester. So a quorum I would say.

And Six Months In a Leaky Boat would have been a hit if the Beeb had not pulled it from playlists because of the Falklands War.
