I had them picked for another thread. But, I guess they are a one hit wonder, considering it would have been this song that I'd have posted.
Yeah they had some other good songs on their first album though. I think I still have the CD around here somewhere....
Queensryche is far from a one-hit wonder. They have been a successful and respected (although very inconsistent) progressive metal band for well over 30 years. Their album "Operation Mindcrime" is one of the most respected metal releases and concept albums ever made.
Sure, but not really mainstream. I just checked and "Silent Lucidity" is listed on a number of sites as a "one hit wonder". I'm not saying they haven't had some good songs, but I wouldn't call them "hits" in the popular sense. Kinda reminds me of The Cult, who should get more recognition than they do.
These kind of threads tend to have very slow loading times at all platforms due to the overload of links. It should load up after a couple of secs though. All posts have that big, black box at first for me too.
I'm not sure if this band is a one hit wonder, but I'm pretty sure this was their only Billboard charting song in the United States.
