Isn't this thread about ARTISTS? Everybody is naming a song.

In most cases, the songs you are naming got TONS of recognition. The artists then has to follow it up with more hits to keep hearing their name. For a great example, 2 years ago someone asked if I want to go see hometown hero Mark Cohn when he played here. My reply was "What is going to do? Play Walking in Memphis for 2 hours? Nobody knows anything else he ever did." (I passed.) That one song was huge, but he never followed it up with anything as impactful, so he got exactly the recognition he deserved.

PS. He played 17 songs. 9 of his and EIGHT COVERS!!! Held out Memphis for the 2 song encore and closed with it (of course).

Been a lot of great bands that had NO hits too!! Some led players to other bands that were bigger scale, some were players who just faded away.


I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
