So, The 00's were really good for music for the most part. Not only did we get to see the continuing development of many sub-genres like Grime and Dubstep, the death of a pop-music legend and so much more. We also got to witness careers take off with great promise like a firework blasted high into the sky. Only for that same firework to fall back to the Earth with an almighty bang.
Now, I am as much of a music fan as the next guy but one of my many guilty pleasures with music is seeing one-wit wonders disappear from the face of music. The Lupe Fiasco thread made me realise how funny it is to see artists come into the music industry all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and then never be heard form again. Now, the 00's were arguably the best years in which this has been illustrated. There was many-a-failure on the road to success and this is a thread in which we get to look at them and mercilessly point and laugh at the shambles that once was a promising career.
Of you stuck for ideas, have a look HERE.
Now, to me, I think that Billboard hit the nail right on the head. Just the other day I was wondering what had happened to Daniel Powter, who gave us the great hit Bad Day and some way through the search, I realised that I actually didn't care and gave up. It's funny that the song should be called what it is because he certainly a bad career.
This song, however, is still one of the best songs I have ever heard. It has remained in my music collection since the very first time I listened to it and that has to count for something, right? Probably not. But the fact remains that this song is his finest work. Given, that isn't saying much either but I think it comes down to the fact that his first song was so good that he couldn't really follow it up. The same goes for James Blunt in some respects.
Still, what is your favourite One-hit-wonder of the 00's? Hell, you can look through that list if you need some inspiration.
