The fact that one of their songs saw fit to break into the charts in a big way hardly makes them a one hit wonder automatically.

Besides which The Ballad of Chasey Lain also charted.

... at 15. Hardly an earth shattering success. Some people have been dropped for less. they have a cult following in the UK, they are big in certain circles but not on the whole. If we're talking about one hit wonders then its people in the mainstream, otherwise actual one hit wonders are very few and far between. The majority of people mentioned in this thread are still performing.
