My best friend, you know him as Hillbilly Atheist here, he is a huge fan of Alison Krauss.

This has some 1920s turn of the century quality about it.

You are correct.  But what is the "criteria" for a "hit". You have categories, and charts. How many songs has she had that have broken multiple genres? If you could poll most people today what song, whom know her name today, which song would they most likely claim to know?

That was her most famous it.

Do you have a spare sock that you can live without? Because I know a good place for it.

The criterion for a hit single is generally considered to be making it to the top 20.

Yes ‘Bette Davis Eyes’ was her biggest hit, but the fact that she had several others disqualifies her from one hit wonder status, by definition.

The Beatles’ most successful song was ‘Hey, Jude’. Does that make them one hit wonders?

I am going to be the most hated man in America minus Trump, but I never really got into the Beatles. Plus there is my avatar that is hated by most of the world outside of fans. Makes me afraid to admit to liking the Beach Boys.

As mentioned before, not every thread has to mention Trump.

And the following song I had nothing to do with, but at the time it was written, it seemed obvious who she was talking about.

It’s got nothing to do with the Beatles, mate. That was just an example.

And The Beach Boys were fucking awesome.

Good song but "Crazy in the Night" was better.
