Hi-Fi one hit wonders?

Yo, Buddha -- one hit wonder? How 'bout "American Pie," Don Mclean. A nice song, for nostalgic old farts like me, that is well-recorded. And it's analog. Everything else on the album sucks. Is that what you mean by "one-hit wonder"?

How 'bout a no-hit wonder? "New Adventures in HI-FI," R.E.M. The entire album sucks. But it's analogue. Everything on it sounds like a bad Beatles impersonation. This is a two-LP package, by the way, and it must have taken a hell of an effort to fill 4 sides of lacquer without a single worthwhile song.

"Everything else on the album sucks."

You've got to be kidding! That is a classic album. "Vincent" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, as is "Till Tomorrow"! I don't have the CD in front of me, but I know there are more very good tunes there. Granted, not every track is prime, but still, it's an outstanding collection. mho

And of course "Everybody Loves Me Baby (What's The Matter With You?)"
