They really only had one good album

[abcdefz]

...I'm trying to think of bands that really only had one good album, but are still pretty dearly beloved anyway.

Sex Pistols? Gang of Four? (Well, one album and one EP.) Stone Roses? My Bloody Valentine?

[mickill]

I think that the Gang of Four's Solid Gold was pretty good, actually. And while I know it's riddled with filler, I think that Stone Roses' Second Coming had it's moments. I liked that both the music, particularly the guitars, and Ian Brown's voice had a rougher edge to them on that album.

I think that Snoop Dogg only had one truly good album. The rest had little sparks of greatness here and there, but generally sucked.

[Mr_Complex]

Oasis
REM.

[Qdrop]

guns n roses, perhaps?

onyx

kid n play

black sheep

leaders of a new school

cornershop (debatable)

wiseguys

[mickill]

guns n roses, perhaps? --- Not really, but sorta.

onyx --- Shut Em Down was a better album than Badafucup

kid n play --- yes

black sheep --- yes

leaders of a new school ---- I actually liked T.I.M.E., assuming you're saying the debut was the good one.

cornershop (debatable) --- yes

wiseguys --- no comment

I can't stand R.E.M., period, and I'm not gonna get into defending Oasis again.

I'll just say: Oasis>Blur.

[abcdefz]

I think that the Gang of Four's Solid Gold was pretty good, actually.



I agree that it's really good, but it's just four songs, so I wasn't sure if it counts as an "album."

'Cause they definitely dove downhill headfirst after that.



REM.


You're high.



guns n roses, perhaps?





Good call. (y)

[abcdefz]

The Hooters. :D

[adam_f]

I liked Reflection Eternal, but that's the only Talib Kweli I like where he's the solo mc.

[beastieangel01]

I'll just say: Oasis>Blur.

No. YOUR mom! (http://members.tripod.com/milk_carton/damon_liam.gif)

[abcdefz]

...were the Violent Femmes any good after the first album? I only know one person who kept listening to them.

I do remember this one great song they had -- "It's Gonna Rain." It was sort of a hopped-up Noah gospel shouter number.

[Loppfessor]

I think that Snoop Dogg only had one truly good album. The rest had little sparks of greatness here and there, but generally sucked.

Amen to that!....what bout Millie Vanillie? (sp??)

[abcdefz]

....did Milli Vanilli have a good album?

Subquestion: are you now about to cite Vanilla Ice?

[Freebasser]

The La's (Though apparently they're reforming with Noel Gallagher on drums or some such shit).

[Loppfessor]

....did Milli Vanilli have a good album?

Subquestion: are you now about to cite Vanilla Ice?


Well I was in like 4th grade or something when it came out and I won't lie I was walkin around like "Ba bapa baaa ba bapa baa baaaaaby!" And poor Vanilla only had two good tracks :o

[abcdefz]

The La's (Though apparently they're reforming with Noel Gallagher on drums or some such shit).



Holy crap -- I know that band. Their first album was good.

[Documad]

...were the Violent Femmes any good after the first album? I only know one person who kept listening to them.
I'm seeing them in a couple of weeks. :o Another cheap show at a club with friends. I've heard I shouldn't expect much, but then I've never been a fan.

I don't think Sex Pistols even had one good album. They had a couple of good songs and they sure were fun to read about.

I really liked 10,000 Maniacs' first album and nothing from them or Natalie since.

[abcdefz]

The ratio of great stuff to filler on the Pistols' first record probably qualifies it as a good album. Its rep is that it's a great one, and I just can't buy that.

10,000 Maniac's good album was their second, wasn't it? In My Tribe or something like that?

[Documad]

10,000 Maniac's good album was their second, wasn't it? In My Tribe or something like that?
Oops. That was MY first 10,000 Maniacs album I guess! There was one good SONG on the next one.

[Los Para Noias]

my bloody valentine's first album is pretty good, not as great as loveless, but good.

The Zombies are up there. A lot of current bands (obvious). The Grateful Dead maybe? Jesus and mary chain?

[abcdefz]

Oops. That was MY first 10,000 Maniacs album I guess! There was one good SONG on the next one.


Yeah; that one was really poor.



my bloody valentine's first album is pretty good, not as great as loveless, but good.


Loveless is just great. I think the comparison between the two hurts the first one most.


...it may be too soon to say, but I do fear The Vines might wind up here.

[adam_f]

Well, the Fugees only had one.

[abcdefz]

At first glance, I thought you were citing The Fugs.

[icy manipulator]

black eyed peas - and all the other bands that were good at first then when fucking mainstream and got corrupted by money and started making bullshit commercial album for fucking teenie boppers

[Los Para Noias]

[BangkokB]

The Goats

and unfortunately the Dust Bros only made 1 LP

But Black Sheeps 2nd LP isn't really all that bad~NWES~if that's what it's called is on and the song that samples Curtis Mayfields "If There's A Hell Below" Niggaz is almost worth the LP. But overall: yep its lacking compared to the 1st masterpiece
Montrose 1st record wasn't all that it was cracked up to be

Don't front, assholes. You and I both know that their self-titled debut was a pretty damn good album.

Let's not forget Lauryn Hill. One kick-ass studio release, a lame unplugged album, then poof, she's gone. :(

Oh yeah, and Jeff Buckley. Let's not hold that whole dying thing against him.

Coldcuts newest album "Sound mirrors" is fucking brilliant.

I liked "fields of Joy" by Kravitz, thought it was a bit meatier than let love rule.

I was about to take issue with your "pet sounds" comment but actually when you think about it , and i fucking love the beach boys, pet sounds and a "very best of" will just about cover the good stuff.


Personally - "nevermind" was nirvana's only great work

I wasn't to big on "Sound Mirrors"...maybe I should give another spin though...and it was a tough call between "Mama Said" or "Let Love Rule"..."Bleach" is still my fave release from Nirvana...

[TurdBerglar]

you are so wrong

[easy 3]

DAS EFX, BS2000, Del The Funky Homosapien, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre.

I've got to say I love Del's 2nd album - No Need for Alarm

I think it's more of a 'Del' album than 'I wish....' - less under the influence of Ice Cube and Sir Jinx - more of a 'Heiro' sound.

I don't mind DAS EFX' other albums personally (but the fact that I can't think of their titles right now does suggest that they're not stone-cold classics right?)

Moot had me thinking about Ice-T's albums - I think the Iceberg is probably my favourite (I can't remember how many tracks are on there - is it technically an EP?) - although some of his material sounds a bit dated and Hip Hop generally has a bit of an odd track-record when it comes to albums I think Ice-T has more than one good album - Power, the Iceberg and OG? I love '6 'n the Morning' off Rhyme pays too. I think Ice-T's a bit underrated - probably because of messing about with dodgy films and TV and stuff.

Thinking about it there's loads of Hip Hop artists who have only made one strong album and then become increasingly obscure, and loads of one-hit wonders.

Beach Boys = Pet Sounds




You need to hear Beach Boys Today!

and sunflower. and wild honey. and friends.

It's third, for me. It just has a cool vibe, nice songs. "Little Bird" is nifty. I wish Dennis had written more.

The fact that the album is so slight is part of its charm, I think.

[Auton]

ugh. dude. de la soul? the worst part is i know your 'one good album' is the overrated 3 feet high and rising and not buhloone mindstate.

WTF does good mean anway? - Posessing superior qualities? Don't make me get all Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance on your ass.

De la Soul have got more than one album of consistently high quality and originality IMHO.

[abcdefz]

...though I started the thread with "good," I think I meant "great."

Or maybe it's more like, the group has just one record that you go back to again and again.

I've debated putting The Band in here. Big Pink is a good album, though, and Stage Fright has its moments, but The Band is really the one.

The Last Waltz is awfully fine, though.

Pick, sickle and such is very solid, just not as Prince Paul-ed out as Niggamortis.

Method Man

If blackout counts, I respectfully disagree. Even then, 4:21 isn't all that bad. Not Tical 0 bad. Meth only had one great album, but a couply good uns. The rest, yeah for sure.

Helmet
Kyuss
Jesus Lizard
Prodigy (the)
50 Cent

And the Nas thing is ridic. His second album (and it fucking followed Illmatic!!!!:eek:) was great. Nevermind fucking Stillmatic and Lost Tapes.

[Kid Presentable]

Fuck it, has anybody ventured that The Clash only had one good album?

[easy 3]

TABERNACLE.

Hi, sorry , please excuse me being a dumbass - what does Tabernacle mean in this context? I know I'm a bit out of touch but I've tried google and shit and I'm still clueless.

Have De La released something called tabernacle? They seem to have played some sort of benefit gig at a venue of that name.

Is Tabernacle some sort of slang the kids use nowadays that means 'don't be a dick?' or something?

Are you quoting lyrics that I really should be more familiar with?

Throw me a bone dude:o

[roosta]

Pick, sickle and such is very solid, just not as Prince Paul-ed out as Niggamortis.


there's like 3 songs ive listened to on that album in the last decade


If blackout counts, I respectfully disagree. Even then, 4:21 isn't all that bad. Not Tical 0 bad. Meth only had one great album, but a couply good uns. The rest, yeah for sure.



i went with the idea that good meant great. So, yeah, Tical is his only great album.

[Kid Presentable]

Even then, Tical is a weird one.

Why?

The Clash (US version preferred) and London Calling are pretty much no-brainer classics. I'd put in for that beautiful sprawling mess Sandinista!, too.

[mate_spawn_die]

oh yeah... just curious. what clash album is "the only good one"?

[EN[i]GMA]

Guided by Voices has had a quite a few "good" albums.

You couldn't even say they only had one GREAT album, because Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes were both great.

[mate_spawn_die]

what!? which one? back in the u.s.a is their best in my opinion.

[Kid Presentable]

The Clash (US version preferred) and London Calling are pretty much no-brainer classics. I'd put in for that beautiful sprawling mess Sandinista!, too.

Unless you're snuggling The Clash and Sandinista! on the couch in front of an open fire, they're just albums.

[Kid Presentable]

What do you think?

[mate_spawn_die]

i don't like clash albums as a whole. but i at least like 80% of each one.

Unless you're snuggling The Clash and Sandinista! on the couch in front of an open fire, they're just albums.



I'd do 'em. (y)

[abcdefz]

The albums, I mean.

The guys had really nasty teeth.

[abcdefz]

Oh -- Bob Mould. Everything after Workbook didn't quite work.

Sugar, too, if you don't count Beaster as an album. Copper Blue was pretty much a home run, a FUEL was bleh.

[taquitos]

MC5...
I was gonna say MC5 but i think Back in the USA qualifies,
and even High Times isn't bad,
but yeah you are probably correct.

Misfits.
I think a lot of people probably feel this way, but some folks tend to say Static
Age, which is not really an album of it's own. So I guess walk among us would
be their good album, right? No love for Earth A.D.? I like all three records as
they each have their own distinct style. That type of progression is what
makes a good band great, in my opinion.

[taquitos]

i'll agree that the only good black flag album is the nervous breakdown 7" but...

13th floor elevators, wire, flaming lips, radiohead... no way. i love at least 2 by each of them.

I guess maybe i mean great albums. I like really forward-thinking albums, but at the same time i'm a
sucker for straightforward pop-rock, if that tells you anything about where i'm coming from with this.

And in case you were wondering: Easter Everywhere and Pink Flag (guess that might be pretty obvious).
I enjoy chairs missing but don’t think it’s really up to the same caliber as the debut. After that they fall off a bit, in my opinion.

[DroppinScience]

black flag (lots of hardcore bands just have good 7"s and comps, it seems like)

Huh? What about "Damaged." That's a wall-to-wall classic. And I do love "My War" (which took the band in a completely different direction) as well.

Wow, jumping the gun a little bit, are we?

First, you never specified that Black Flag's one good album was "Damaged," you just said the 7"s (re-read your post), which lead me to think you only liked a compilation like "The First Four Years" or something like that, which perplexed me if you weren't going to acknowledge "Damaged" at the very, very least. If you're going to resort to name-calling just because I'm not a mind reader, you're gonna have to learn to chill. Seriously. Either that, or be more specific to avoid ambiguity.

I'm quite easily pleased? Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. But for this thread, bands that fit the criteria for this thread that happened to release more than one album didn't come to mind that weren't already mentioned.

[Guy Incognito]

Actually, Pad might say Infinite. I never heard more than 3 songs off it.

[mate_spawn_die]

I like this thread. Just to note, I disagree on the Prodigy immensely... Liam Howlett - certainly on the first 3 records - proved himself a genius in my mind. I also think Oasis have 3 good albums. I think Sublime s/t is a good album too as well as 40oz, there's just too many good songs.

Anyway, I think any band who has released a bona fide classic album is going to suffer in this thread, as no matter how good the other albums are, they're not going to compete, so it puts the idea in your mind that they only have one good album. The Stone Roses for instance... Second Coming isn't a bad album, it just doesn't come close to a record that's fairly untouchable. On the basis of this kind of thought, I'm going to have to say Rage as my choice. There are some classic tracks on Evil Empire and Battle...but I don't think of them as particulary good albums overall, and they pale in comparison to the s/t (in my opinion).

Yeah, I was really mentioning the Prodigy to be cheeky. I'm not their biggest fan, and I only like Jilted, so I thought a bit of stirring wouldn't go astray. In the spirit of discussion and the thread. That said, the self-titled RATM is probably untouchable in most ways, even if I prefer many of the moments on Evil Empire.

[Kid Presentable]

ah man... what strokes album? the first one? i think "is this it" is their weakest. "room on fire" is amazing and i also enjoyed their last one.

Room on Fire and Is This It are kind of interchangeable sound-wise, but yeah I would be talking about Room on Fire.

In Utero:
Scentless Apprentice
Serve the Servants
Rape Me
All Apologies

I just think it was a poor quality rehash of stuff from nevermind - all apologies was the best thing on that album.

Its a fairly obvious thing to say now but maybe his creativity wasnt at its peak on this album.

It sorta sounds like it should have been made before Nevermind if that makes sense.

Besides which you only listed 5 tracks - Nevermind is all good, nay fillers and of the 5 you listed,

maybe only one would get on nevermind imo.

Those were the 5 I could remember off the top of my head.

I don't know, Nirvana is almost as charged a subject as the Beatles and I'm from Seattle and was in high school when they came out so my perspective is skewed.

Let's just agree to disagree, ok?

Fair do's

[Videodrome]

Lordz of Brooklyn
nah, they've always sucked.

[pshabi]

BS2000

Bah. They were both good.

[Kid Presentable]

I kinda thought neither of them were that amazing. I was late into them, though.

[Auton]

Or that he had multiple good albums (for clarification, so Mary Whitehouse and them don't get on to me for asking a question).

hahahaha (y)

[hitmonlee]

i'm gonna get bashed for this one.

the darkness :)

fear factory
sneaker pimps
weezer
fatboy slim (not counting mix cds)
freestylers

[Auton]

why would you get bashed? the darkness did only have one good album... and even that's probably giving them too much credit

[hitmonlee]

and even that's probably giving them too much credit

that's why i'd get bashed. the darkness is universally hated on the BBMB. even bringing up their name could cause me possible death.

[Kid Presentable]

I think (I think) that The Blue album and Pinkerton were both awesome. It has been a while though.

yeah... true.... but "i believe in a thing called love" is pretty fucking awesome, even for a novelty song

[roosta]

i liked that darkness album. thought they were cunts, but it was a good album.

[Kid Presentable]

Since the second Gravediggaz album doesn't count, the whole 'Graveyard Chamber' and 'Death Trap' being shit evens it out.

fear factory


no way. Archetype is my fave!

[Guy Incognito]

fatboy slim (not counting mix cds)


Come on

Living without chemistry - awesome (y)
youve come a long way baby - top banana (y)(y)(y)
halfway between gutter and stars - good (y)
palookaville - shite

Plus the pizzaman album he did before he was the slim is better than all of them. genius album.

RE:

VIOLENT FEMMES!

Dunno if anyone mentioned this yet, couldn't be arsed trolling through...

They're second album is amazing but different. Better in some ways. Very influenced by more traditional gospel blues and folk. Its kinda reliegous in places, which killed the band really. BUt its maybe they're best. Black girls is brilliant!!! Oh!
The rest of the albums are patch with some great moments too. I quite like 3. But thats about it.

[sercomdj01]

Oh yeah! Slayers second album seasons of the abyss is good too!

[TurdBerglar]

dude, that's like their sixth album

[nypb]

elastica
offspring

[sercomdj01]

Ooops i was 1/2 asleep when i wrote that. I mean second release after rein in blood. I do like south of heaven as well actually.

[Jiberish]

I agree 100% both albums are great. It's why the rest of the albums pale in comparison...plus the 5[?] year wait between Pinkerton & the Green Album. It just wasn't good enough.
