- Post subject: Bands/Artists That You Only Like One Album From
|
What are some bands/artists that have one album that you enjoy, but for whatever reason, you can't get into the rest of their discography, and which album?
For me it's the following:
- AC/DC - Back in Black
- Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
- The Sonics - Here Are The Sonics
- Black Flag - Damaged

Christian Death's Only Theatre of Pain is one of my all-time favorite records, but the rest of their discography is really bad. I can't really think of another album that I really really like that's a part of a discography I've explored thoroughly and not come to enjoy.

Is it solipsistic in here or is it just me?

Not to be critical, I'm just surprised. |
I can go through greatest hits and I enjoy watching their live shows. However, for me Innuendo remains the only consistently good studio album throughout.
Early productions are too Zeppelin-leaning, tha pair of Marx brothers albums contain too much vaudeville, or Paul's granny... music, if you like 😉 to my taste, News of the World and Jazz have too many fillers.
1980s albums always include some 80s-pop-going-wrong moments (stuff like Back Chat, Machines, Rain Must Fall or Pain Is So Close To Pleasure).

Just out of curiosity, is Salad Days the first DeMarco you heard? I ask because to me, all his albums sound the same, and so I feel like someone would need to have a sentimental(-ish) attachment to one to hold it above the others. Maybe I'm missing some key difference, though.

You probably got the point. Salad Days is not that much different from his previous or later work, so I guess I'd have dug Rock and Roll Night Club, 2 or Another One if I'd heard them first.
Salad Days melodies seem more memorable (most notably title track and Passing Out Pieces ), but honestly, it's perhaps because I listened to it quite a lot and I feel like I don't have to try too hard on other albums, as I know that all I get is this laid-back I-have-just-woken-up-and-don't-give-a-fuck string plucking charm that fails to surprise anymore.

I like Hallowed Ground too, especially Black Girls. Not the same level as debut, though. The rest is rather meh indeed.
