Last time we had this thread, some stupid bitch ranted and raved about Jimi Hendrix not being a one hit wonder. Rolling eyes Happy memories.

Take On Me is by A-Ha.

"We're Not Gonna Take It" - Twisted Sister
"Turning Japanese" - The Vapors
"Tainted Love" - Soft Cell
"Too Shy" - Kajagoogoo
"Come On Eileen" - Dexy's Midnight Runners
"Turn Up The Radio" - Autograph
"Don't Close Your Eyes" - KIX (they should have had so many more hits Grr! )
"The Ballad of Jayne" - LA Guns (another that deserved way more, especially aside from this stupid song)
"All Right Now" - Free
"Bang a Gong (Get it on)" - T. Rex
"The Boys Are Back In Town" - Thin Lizzy
"I Touch Myself" - The Divinyls
"House Of Pain" - Faster Pussycat <_<
"Love Is On The Way" - Saigon Kick
"Sex and Candy" - Marcy Playground
"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" - Iron Butterfly
"Pure Morning" - Placebo

Placebo and A-Ha have both done very well in Europe but only charted once in the US.
