Okay, yeah, you got me there. Though I still think songs like Out of Control, Crawling in the Dark, and Same Direction should get more credit.

I also think that all of Gotye's third album should have more credit here in the US. But he's only famous for one song. Not much we can do about it.

Plain White T's



Plain White T's had a pretty good bit that were famous. In fact, their new song "Pause" has a pretty large following.

Yes. However, all of those songs were featured in Shrek, which is why I maintain that if it weren't for Shrek, they would never have been famous.

"Well they were more like 2 hit wonders"

They sort of fall under the same category. Though Owl City is a bit more of a one-hit because his other song got famous thanks to Carly Rae Jepsen(who is another artist famous for one song)
