There are a few very well-known bands who only scored one chart hit in their entire career. Some artists wrote music that was considered to be "too progressive" for their time and had very little airplay. Other artists filled specific niches that maybe did not translate well to radio but had a large following outside of that genre.
One of the best-known examples of a band that is technically a one hit wonder is The Grateful Dead. The only song that really hit the charts was Touch of Gray, yet everyone knows who the Dead are.
