i'm surprised no one has mentioned Twisted Sister.. and 'We're Not Going to Take It'. Everybody expected big things from them.. but they lived on in the aferglow of that one hit for decades.

I guess it depends on how you classify hits but Warren Zevon had several singles which I still hear played. None as big as Werewolves but stll 'hits'. Steve Earle also had a couple of other lesser hits.
Even groups like the Knack and Chumbawumba had lesser hits before fading to black.
My favourite one hit wonder is Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners.
Shakedown Cruise was a lesser hit by same artist.
Working in a coal mine a lesser hit by Devo.
It's a bit too early to start posting on the annual war on Christmas but it did occur to me that there was a one hit wonder dealing with the Holiday back in the late 50s:

Steve is one of my favorites. Guitar town was a decent hit on country radio.
He's still got a pretty big following
One of my favorites of his
