Is Anybody Home? was pretty big, and so was Life..

They've had a lot of smaller hits, too. It's not like some of these bands who are completely unknown except for one song..

"Mambo No. 5" type shit.

Yeah, Flagpole Sitta is a classic. And incidentally, Clumsy was as big of a hit as Superman in the States.

ya Lifehouse had Sick Cycle Carousel, as well as hanging by a Moment... those songs are only a year old so i mean you can't expect them to be rolling out the singles, They do have a new album coming out in a couple months or so and i heard them play their new single on a station in Toronto and it sounds pretty cool and not at all like their last album...

Whoever said something about K's Choice, yeah too bad they will forever be filed under "One Hit Wonder" because that whole album was awesome, the one that had "Not An Addict" on it, I suggest you all to check it out. "Something's Wrong" is a pretty funny tune as well, well that's all ..

I have that album .. I bought it cuz I loved the 'Not an Addict' song and I thought the rest of the cd would be good .. I was wrong, I only listen to that 1 song once in awhile and the rest of the cd is crap, in my opinion of course :P
