What's the best one-album wonder of all time?

bobbyb5 · 2017-06-22T19:16:22-04:00

Which album and artist is the best one-hit wonder ever? This is the most amazing thing ever. Both of my favorite one album wonders are named Spring. One was a duo of Beach Boy Brian Wilson's wife Marilyn and her sister Diane. It was produced by Brian Wilson, largely, and has great songs specially written for them by Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Dennis Wilson and Carole King. GOOD songs. They had to change their name to American Spring after the albums release because of a conflict with my OTHER favorite one album wonder, the English prog rock group Spring. They supported VELVET UNDERGROUND on a UK tour, believe it or not, and then broke up. Its a cool album. A little bit like Moody Blues or something. Very.prog rock-y. Anyone else ever heard these albums??

I think Club da Esquina is the ultimate one-album wonder. Their self-titled (and only) album is absolutely fantastic. Ooh also The Millennium! Begin is a brilliant album.

Fine apart from this small detail:

Clube Da Esquina 2 by Milton Nascimento

In fact Lo And Milton did a ton of LPs solo, although I have to say in your defence this was (to my knowledge) their only collaborative set.

There's a few I can think of, but this one is right up there:

Them Crooked Vultures. Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, John Paul Jones.

One of my favorite super group albums ever. Hope they do another one before it's all said and done, but until then it can be apart of this thread.
