Gimme five one-hit wonders who later had one or more members go on to solo success or success with another group. One hit wonder is subjective, but this is my list: The Runaways (Joan Jett, Lita Ford) The Weathergirls (Martha Wash) The Left Banke (Ian Lloyd went to Stories - another one hit group) I may get an argument on: The Raspberries (Eric Carman) only one top 10 US hit Power Station (Andy Taylor left Duran Duran for Power Station, and then left to have his one and only solo hit) What about Labelle? |

Good point. Forgot about them. I never gave a follow-up topic because I wasn't sure if I was correct. Since there's been no argument, how about 5 Top 20 Instrumental Songs |

Wow, that's a pretty interesting concept! (Without getting too far off topic) Ed, you're more familiar with the early 60's than I am, can YOU think of any other male duos? I didn't realize how few there were. A couple off the top of my head, Pete: Travis and Bob: Had a big hit with "Tell Him No" Kalin Twins Actually a late '50s duo. Had seveal top 1-00 songs. Their biggest,. "When" peaked at #5 in 1958 There are others, but I have to eat dinner.  You could also add: Santo and Johnny Don and Juan   |

This is a real tough one, Alan. I got some help from my son, and made a couple of assumptions to answer this. Guns N Roses (assumes that "N" or "and" is not counted as a word Beach Boys Spice Girls (Assumes that the Spice is dried and therefore no longer living.) Marilyn Manson (Monroe is no longer living, Charlie, unfortunately, is.) Marcy Playground Gimme five songs by solo artists who's name (first and/or last) is a color. |
