- Post subject: Bands that only have one great/good album
|
Basically, this is for the discussion of bands that in their whole discography have only one great/good album while the rest could range from okay-terrible
I'll mention some names
Oasis- I absolutely Love (What's The Story) Morning Glory. But everything else i've heard with the exception of some songs here and there are abysmal. Granted, this may change as i have not heard Definitely Maybe save for Supersonic so maybe that's a great record
Quiet Riot- Metal Health is a great album. Everything else is a bit of the same (Although the Randy Rhoads material was pretty great)
Warrant- Dirty, Rotten Filthy, Stinkin Rich is really the only consistently good album all the way through imo

Novos Baianos are a very extreme example of this - "Acabou Chorare" is terrific and there's hardly another good songs in the rest of their discography to my knowledge.

Have you listened to this? It's great imo
Novos Baianos F.C. by Novos Baianos
EDIT: I see you've already given it a 75. Now I'm confused.

I mean, it had a couple decent songs but nothing stood out to me much at all. A 75 to me is a "fairly good but not necessarily going to go back to it," I probably have highly inflated ratings compared to other people...

The Smithereens had one exceptional album with Especially for You.
I may be the only one who thinks this, but, I'll say Asia and the one truly outstanding album isn't their self-titled debut which is merely okay, but rather the recent XXX on which each and every cut is absolutely superb.
I love Steve Howe, but while he has many solo albums, only one is consistently good from end to end (again, this is undoubtedly a minority position) and that one great one is Turbulence.
In keeping with the nonstandard answer theme, I will add that Queensryche's one outstanding album is not Empire, but rather Operation: Mindcrime and Soundgarden's one great album is not Superunknown but rather Badmotorfinger.
And then there was Evanescence' first album. Ditto Boston. And Big Country. It seems a lot of groups are unable to duplicate the greatness if their debut albums.

Let's stop there. You're in no place to name Oasis here since you haven't heard Definitely Maybe.
As for the topic of this thread, I'll leave an obvious one...Jeff Buckley.

I can see why someone might consider this his only great album. But the only listenable album? Huh. I would think those who like this but not his TPAB / Untitled Unmastered sound could find something to appreciate, or at least something listenable in Section.80 or DAMN.
