Not really sure of the "technical" differences go2.....I mean groups like Devo were considered "new wave" where synth pop, was just what it said, the overuse of synthesisers to enhance the music, basically the kind of song that sounded alot better on the radio, than in concert....LOL
Motels did "only the lonely", and a couple others,
Naked Eyes was famous for their one hit "Promises, promises" which was an awesome song, back then....
Here are some more one hit wonders, can you tell me who sang them?
"Too Shy, shy"
"Video killed the Radio Star"
"Come on Eileen"
"You Spin me round"
"people are people" ** not a one hit wonder
"I know, there's something goin on" ** Jman might know this one
"Somebody's Watchin me"
"Bas-ket-ball"

"Suave'"
"She Blinded me with Science"
