Well....actually, Rockpile made 4 albums. But they were unable to release 3 of them as Rockpile because they had lead singers signed to different labels. The other 3 actual Rockpile albums were:

Eh...you get into a sticky area with that.
There have been a lot of examples of that type of thing throughout music history...
FOXBORO HOT TUBS (actually Green Day)
THE NETWORK! (also Green Day)
DUKES OF THE STRATOSPHEAR (actually XTC)
CICCONE YOUTH (actually Sonic Youth covering Madonna tunes)
CHRIS GAINES (actually Garth Brooks)
CONDO F**KS (actually Yo La Tengo)
WALDEN ROBERT CASSOTTO (actually Bobby Darin)
PERCY "THRILLS" Thillington (actually Paul McCartney)
DANZIG (same band as Samhain)
THE LOVEMONGERS (actually Heart)
LESTER "ROADHOG" MORAN & HIS CADILLAC COWBOYS (actually The Statler Brothers)
NAZ NOMAD AND THE NIGHTMARES (actually The Damned)
STEEL LEG (actually Public Image Limited)
THE WONDER WHO (actually The Four Seasons)
Usually, it's a legal/contractual thing. I'm sure there are more I could list. Plus, there have been a lot of artists who have appeared onstage under a pseudonym (but, never released recorded music under that name). All of the ones I mentioned above have actually recorded under the name listed.
So, we'll just thow Rockpile out of the list since it technically released only one studio album under the name "Rockpile," but had additional success under other names (besides, we can argue that there was a second ROCKPILE album, too! A LIVE Rockpile album was released...I was just counting studio stuff). _________________ Speakers of the House DJ
