*to qualify as a MFD two hit wonder, the artist or group can have placed only two singles in the Billboard Top 40 and those two singles must have entered the Top 40 during the years 1976-85. Many of these artists are occasionally mistaken for a one hit wonder or have hit other charts in Billboard, but each hit the Top 40 only twice. In no particular order, here's four of the 64 that I found:
CHILLIWACK
Rock trio from Vancouver: Bill Henderson (vocals, guitar), Ab Bryant (bass) and Brian MacLeod (drums). Bryant was also with Prism.
