Bands that were huge one minute,and then their popularity faded almost overnight

[Izzy]

could def leppard be put in this catagory, they have one of the highest selling albums, followed by a fairly successful follow up...after that gone pretty much from mainstream/

Leppard were huge from 82-92

...thats 10 years, hardly an overnight sensation

...and the people mentioning Van Halen

yeah the subject isn't about one hit wonders, it's about big names who kinda dissappeared right?

[D]

a fair amount of the bands being mentioned weren't what i'd call "big" by any means.? The Darkness?? what'd they have, like 1 maybe 2 songs?? I think its more interesting to discuss artists who were on the top of the food chain one day and then overnight were a punch line.? ?limp bizkit is prob the best recent example

all of the 80s bands went away b/c of grunge.? all the grunge bands went away b/c that fad ended.? now there is no real defining genre, its just a bunch of one album wonders - and even most of them don't reach insane heights of success.

very difficult for a band to stay successful album after album.? bon jovi and U2 are the only two rock bands i can think of that are still extremely successful after YEARS of being around in terms of successful tours AND album sales.

Makes me smile to see t hat

add RHCP to that list please...
M?tley Cr?e, they faded pretty quickly after Vince left in the early 90s.

[GeraldFord]

RHCP? 

Their last album was huge. They never went away.

[GnFnR87]

RHCP??

Their last album was huge. They never went away.

he meant to add them to U2 and Bon Jovi as consistently successful rock bands.

[GNRreunioneventually]

Europe

[GeraldFord]

the crue were screwed with or without vince - that genre was dead.  those bands became punchlines until recently when people have been rediscovering them and its trendy now to like 80s rock. 

btw, Dokken is still rocking out - DD is like 50+ years old.  they are HUGE in Japan!!   

[mrlee]

Slaughter
=worst.band.ever...

hey, they have some ok tracks.

i love up all night, cool melodies.

[JuicySwoos]

Jet

[AxlsMainMan]

The Offspring.

[guns_n_motley]

No way would def leppard be in there?? they sold millions of albums and were famous from 82-92

im thinking bands like Twisted sister or Quiet Riot who had 1 big album and kind of went away..

[The Dog]

The Offspring.

oh man, the better question is who the F ever liked this "band" to begin with.  talk about no talent losers.  awful awful dated music.  i'll tell you why they died...they never should have been born!

[hellfirecan]

Fuel

Liked them quite a bit...
