I have 4 of their 5 albums, and a good half of their songs are better than most of today's pop and rock singles (and ALL of their songs are better than today's rap, country, metal, whatever)
All hail Ace of Base, the best band... ever. Until Evanescence showed up.

As for music today.. How do you even classify it, because the band gets big with one song.. and people generally accept thier second and thirds songs great or not. Americans, are accepting creatures.. I look at the billboard top 100, and I think I actually know like 5 songs outta the whole list. WtF is 50cent/JayZ/Ashanti/Floetry/ Im clueless. I think Im getting old. Holy Crap I knew this day would come, but why so freaking soon!
Linkin Park/Limp Biscuit/Creed etc, I dont think can be classified as one hit wonders because theyve had several songs reach the top ten/ or albums etc. But I do pray for the day, The Good Looking, Boy Bands go away.. And personally I put LP in that list. Rock or Pop.. Pretty Boys Make Graves..
Then Again Theres some who says there needs to be Balance.
There needs to be love - backstreet boys, Nsync, Spears etc
There needs to be Hate - Linkin Park, Limp, etc.
Then theres me who simply lives with the fact it all sucks, and to stay away from the scary thing called the radio.
