I disagree on this one. They had many hits...and if you had to pick one, it would be the only one I know (sic)

Boy, you can just feel the driving energy these guys put into the song....

a groundbreaking artist as influential as brian eno, kraftwerk and bowie....

Cars might be his best known song but his body of work is very impressive. i get very defensive when it comes to gary numan ;) there has never been anyone quite like him. I bought pleasure principal in 1979 and still listen to it and most of his albums

ASIA also had "Only Time Will Tell", and "Don't Cry".

A one hit band with Steve Howe, from the late '80s;

GTR
song:
"When The Heart Rules The Mind"

Here's a one hit wonder that I thought sounded like Asia....

Did these guys ever amount to much other than this?

(Edit - just did a quick Wiki search - they actually had quite a career, even spun off another duo - Godley And Creme. Prog rock.)

J. FRANK WILSON AND THE CAVALIERS
"Last Kiss"
(Wayne Cochran)

Well, where oh where can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven
So I got to be good
So I can see my baby
When I leave this ol' world


We were out on a date in my Daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road, straight ahead
The car was stalled, the engine was dead
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
Never forget the sound that night
The cryin' tires, the bustin' glass
The painful scream that I heard last


Well, where oh where can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven
So I got to be good
So I can see my baby
When I leave this ol' world


Well, when I woke up
The rain was pourin' down
There were people standing all around
Something warm a-running in my eyes
But I found my baby somehow that night
I raised her head and when she smiled and said
"Hold me darling for a little while"
I held her close
I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I would miss
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love ... my life, that night


Well, where oh where can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven
So I got to be good
So I can see my baby
When I leave this ol' world
