Let\u2019s take a look at a few somewhat underrated yet still playlist-worthy one-hit wonders from <a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/tag\/1970s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1971<\/a> that I personally still love to listen to today!<\/p>\n<p>            \u201cToast And Marmalade For Tea\u201d by Tin Tin<\/p>\n<p>This rock tune was released in 1970, but it became a hefty Top 20 hit in the United States in 1971, so I\u2019ll go ahead and include it here. \u201cToast And Marmalade For Tea\u201d by Tin Tin is really such a great song. I love that twangy, kind of psychedelic introduction so much. This jam always seems to hit so well, decades after it was first released.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToast And Marmalade For Tea\u201d by Tin Tin hit No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and did even better in Canada and Australia. Sadly, Tin Tin struggled to maintain their trajectory. They only hit the Hot 100 once more in 1971, and they never made it to the Top 40 again before their breakup in 1973.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d Love To Change The World\u201d by Ten Years After<\/p>\n<p>This might just be the most underrated song on this list. That guitar track, the overall melody\u2026 a classic early-1970s rock tune for the ages, I\u2019d say. \u201cI\u2019d Love To Change The World\u201d by Ten Years After doesn\u2019t get as much love as it should today, namely because it\u2019s an instrumental track. And yet, after just one listen, it might just become your new favorite \u201cwalking around and thinking about stuff\u201d song.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d Love To Change The World\u201d by Ten Years After peaked at No. 40 on the Hot 100. Unfortunately, after scoring that hit, the group never made it to the Top 40 again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFunky Nassau\u201d by The Beginning Of The End<\/p>\n<p>From the second this song kicks off, you know you\u2019re in for a funky treat. This entry on our list of one-hit wonders from 1971 might just be my favorite funk song, and you might just agree with me there. \u201cFunky Nassau\u201d by The Beginning Of The End made it all the way to No. 15 on the Hot 100 and No. 31 on the UK charts. For some reason that I just can\u2019t grasp, their subsequent singles didn\u2019t chart at all. The Beginning Of The End would later break up in 1975.<\/p>\n<p>Photo by Archive Photos\/Getty Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One-hit wonders come and go more often than not, but some of them (particularly from years like 1971)&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":339334,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[20829,171,975,20561,4185,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-339333","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-1970s","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-music","11":"tag-one-hit-wonders","12":"tag-rock-music","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115454132178370016","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=339333"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339333\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/339334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=339333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=339333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=339333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
