I recently encountered Crazytown on a music channel and realized that they really had only a single successful song.
What are some other examples?

Caring about hits is dumb
You know Queens of the Stone Age has never had a hit song yet people certainly know who they are

Sure, but for most musicians having a trendy song is the only way to get enough attention and build an audience.
There are counter examples, alright.

Wasn’t even theirs. All the profits went to the Peppermen for the sample.
