Yeah, it should be defined more precisely by the OP....The way I understood it is any album that was deemed with either commercial or critical success qualifies as long as the artist did not have any other album that really (really) stands out (commercially or critically)...
Edit: Ha-ha...thought you said "define".... :lol:
Ha! I was agreeing with you. This is a great example. The hype machine built this one up and the group paid the price in the backlash. Too bad because I enjoyed them. I'm glad I got to see them once before Doug Fieger passed away.
I'm not sure if bands that only had one album should count but if you feel they should, then go ahead and list it.
I thought that was the whole idea when I saw the thread title, honestly - that we'd be listing bands that only released one album that happened to be really good, but split up afterwards for one reason or another. As it is right now, this thread seems to just be people posting variations on "I like this one album by [famous/well-liked band] a lot but all their other stuff sucks SHOTS FIRED" Forgive me if I'm wrong here, but that's the impression I'm getting.
Anyway, here's a really good one-hit-wonder album:
You should give it a listen, it's pretty good! Kinda hard to describe - there's lots of little touches of several genres (art rock, progressive rock, funk, pop rock, etc.) that are blended together in a pretty unique way. I can't think of a band that sounds quite like Kestrel does, or of any obvious bands that might have influenced them - they just sound like themselves, if that makes any sense. _________________ Makeshift Jukebox (my tumblr)

You are wrong and I'll never forgive you. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
