CRF's Greatest One Hit Wonders Voting Thread ((Polls Are Open))

[Cosmic Harmony]

*Each person gets up to 15 votes for any one hit wonders of their choice. You may vote for any song from any genre or time period as long as it fits the criteria. Being that this is the WORLD-WIDE-WEB there will be different charts to go off of and a bit of subjectiveness as far as this goes. The voting criteria that must be met is that any song voted for must have been a hit and the band or artist must have either had no other hits or be the only song that they are widely remembered for in a case where they may have had other hits but they are eclipsed by that one hit wonder itself.

*Rank them from #1 to #15. Well I am tallying up everyone's lists at the end of the voting process the #1 slot will get more points than the #2 slot and so on and so forth.

*At the end of the voting process (which has no set date but I will give you a couple weeks in advance before closing the polls) I'll add everyone's points up and post the results.

*Every member is allowed to vote. Admins, mods, and any other member are permitted to vote with everyone having the same, fair number of points.

*You can post your ballet in this thread and you are permitted to make changes to it all the way up to the closing date, which for my sake I request you make all changes in a new post as opposed to going back and editing the original one.




And with that, the polls are officially open.​

I see someone has her Mojo workin' again...

I'll have to think this one over for a while.

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

Well I need these big projects to keep myself busy.

 

[Vehicle]

This should be fun. I'm a bit of a One Hit Wonder buff.

I was in another forum a while ago, and I had a Weekly One Hit Wonder thread, with the details of the song, the band and, if known, what they've done in music since that song, and what they're currently doing, either as a band or selling stereos or whatever.

 

[Nololob]

One hit wonder? That's a tough one.

 

[Tray73]

Cool idea for thread/poll, I'll have to get thinking...
