Rushmore, panelists Matt Souza, Steve Riddle, Shawn Kidd, Tim Slomka & Logan Crosland join moderator Andy Atherton to discuss which 80’s One-Hit Wonders deserve a place as on their respective lists.

After that, they discuss which 90’s One-Hit Wonders will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that “The Macarena” shouldn’t get a spot? Will “Tubthumping” be included?
