Do the question "Who sings “Abracadabra”? no one remember Steve Miller’s band, and even if by chance they do they can’t name another song.

Your question is oddly worded, but I’ll give it a shot. "Fly Like an Eagle, Take the Money and Run, Joker, Abracadabra… Steve Miller is hardly obscure! “Take the Money and Run” C’mon, are you serious?

Also, Men Without Hats and The Safety Dance deserves and Honourable Mention, IMHO. Can anyone outside Canada name anything else they did… Anyone? No? Dust? Anyone? No? Dust? Anyone?

How about Henry Mancini?
the guy had a billion hits in some form or another but now the only thing people know from him (And Everyone knows them) are the Pink Panther theme and Peter Gunn theme (and with Peter Gunn you usually have to do the trumpet part or play it for them.

Are you kidding me? Fly Like an Eagle? Jet Airliner? Take the Money and Run? The Joker?

I know I’m old but people remember these, no?
