Name your three favourite songs by... [Coldplay]

[AustinPowers]

Feeling we are the same age, roughly. Hunting High and Low was one of my favourite cassettes as a kid. Would buy meters of leather in White's in Omagh to get the leather bracelet look going.

Oh aye, the leather  wrist bands. Forgot about those.

What were they all about? 

[gallsman]

Just thought of another

The Connells - 74-75

Would have been in my 3 for sure.

Surprised not to see Glorious by Andreas Johnson mentioned yet.

What eejit said Grandmaster Flash FFS?! He's in the Hall of Fame.

Not me but I'd say he's in the Hall of Fame as a hip hop pioneer and early innovator, than record sales. I'm not sure many people could name much beyond The Message and White Lines. Which is 2 hits. Strike him from the record!

[Captain Obvious]

Not mentioned yet from the mid 90s I'm the scatman.

More recently Gangnam Style became a wonder and global hit any big hit since?

[J70]

A-ha - take on me
House of pain - jump around
Whigfield - Saturday night


Might be straining at the lease of OHW's but without doubt the songs they were remembered by.

Recorded a banging Bond theme

I  always preferred 'the sun always shines on TV'  to  anything  else they did

That was a brilliant song. Loved the keyboards.

And it was a big hit too!

That said, they were a one-hit wonder in the US. Friends of mine had never heard "the sun always shine on tv" before I played it for them.

I recently discovered that USAians think of A-Ha as one-hit-wonders. I was devastated. So much great work unheard in the States. I set up a playlist for my wife to listen to and she was blown away by how good they were.

The sun always shines on TV
Train of thought
You are the one
Hunting high and low
I've been losing you
Touchy
Cry wolf
Crying in the rain

Some beautiful work in there.

Ah yes, old Scatman

Can't believe we  forgot this one,  and around the same  time too....

Rednex - Cotton Eye Joe

Classic!

[Puckoon]

Couple bangers in here:

Nena - 99 Luftballons

Peter Schilling - Major Tom

Tommy Tutone - 867-5309/Jenny

Rusted Root - Send me on my way

What about everyone's favourite Neighbour - Natalie Imbruglia?

Imbruglia one big hit was a cover does that rule it out  , prefer to go with Neighbours Craig Mclachlan and Hey Mona!

I don't know how being a cover of an original nobody ever heard rules her out. Imbruglia must remain.

[gallsman]

Imbruglia had a couple of songs off the same album as Torn and then a few others over the next 10 or so years. Shiver was big enough.

You can't be both a legendary musician and a OHW.

OHW has to be reserved for artists you all but never heard of before or after the big hit. I'd say a limit of a follow up cracking the top 10.

Babylon Zoo with Spaceman. I know, disgracefully, they had a follow up called Animal Army but I'd be confident it got nowhere near the top 10.

Correct

Craig McLachlan  had another hit 'Amanda'. Sad that I remember that , but  my cousin used to sing it  a lot at the time so it stuck  in my head

[gallsman]

Deep Blue Something - Breakfast At Tiffany's

3 Doors Down - Kryptonite

About a million different California pop/skater punk outfits from the late 90s/early noughties.

90s- Whitetown: Your woman
Jason Downs: White boy with a feather in his hair
