October 02, 2015 Ep. 32 - Super-Dynamite One-Hit Wonders of the '70s
We love one-hit wonders! While some musicians produce a rock canon over a long and storied career, others contribute just three minutes of perfect pop to the world. And we love them for that.
On this episode of Dad Rock, hosts Patrick Foster and Jim Lenahan look back fondly on the one-hit wonders of the '70s. So put on those big stereo headphones, pour a glass of cold duck, get comfortable on the shag carpet and press play.
