Experience The Music: One Hit Wonders and The Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll| Level 2
One Hit WondersFor as far back as rock and roll can remember, there have been artists associated with only one song –
and one song only. It may have been their debut recording, or it may have come after an entire career’s
worth of show business perseverance. Each of these songs was a Top 20 hit, and not one of the artists
who recorded them ever had another song in the Top 40. If, as Andy Warhol once predicted, everyone
famous will only be so for 15 minutes, then the “one-hit wonders” represent rock and roll’s unique
fulfillment of that prophesy.
The Songs That Shaped Rock and RollSelected by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum curatorial staff and a number of rock critics
and historians, these songs are some of rock and roll’s most popular and influential recordings.
Arranged by artist and song title, the songs cover a variety of musicians and genres illustrating the
evolution of rock and roll over the last century.
