all genres. accepting nominations for however long, until we have a decent selection of serious candidates together. hoping to limit nominations to "no, really, this album is truly great" rather than "really good album" - I suspect there are tens of thousands of bands who had a decent album in them, made it & then moved on.
I'm starting this thread to say how phenomenal an album Break Through by the Slickers is, which is one of two nominations I'll make. Amazing, all-time, track after track. Black Ark at full strength.

Amazon editorial review:
2008 release of the long lost sophomore album from one of the great might-have-beens of British music. They lasted less than a year, and released just one album, but their disappearance robbed the early-'70s scene of a group of musicians capable of taking Folk-Rock to new heights of subtlety and musicianship. Sadly they broke up during the recording sessions for their second album. Incredibly all the tapes survived in various record company archives. 38 years later the surviving members of the group have mixed all the material to finally complete this remarkable album.

Christgau:
The Wild Tchoupitoulas [Island, 1976]Here we have eight songs about dressing up in Indian costume on Mardi Gras; many of them are also about fighting with other Indians. You've probably heard the New Orleans nonsense patois before, and maybe the irresistible melodic elements, too, although I can't tell any more, because I've played this "repetitive" record so many times it sounds like where they all started (which it may be). For a while, I believed side two inferior, but eventually a longing for "Big Chief Got a Golden Crown" set in and now I prefer it for listening. Side one is the best non- (or anti-) disco dance music in years--it had folks who'd never heard it before shouting "Indians here they come" at a thirtieth birthday party. Allen Toussaint produced, the Meters played, and mighty kootie fiyo. A

I'm not sure Chris Bell qualifies - he released only a 45 during his lifetime, (a classic - I Am The Cosmos b/w You And Your Sister), but the album wasn't released until about 15 years after he died, and I'm not convinced this was ever intended to be released as an album any more so than, say, "My Sweetheart, the Drunk" and thus fails the posthumous odds-and-sods exception.
― Lee626, Friday, 12 August 2011 10:23 (twelve years ago) link
90% of those I thought of are already present and accounted for... here are some others that should be....
Armageddon s/t - ex-Yardbirds' vocalist's last record. Makes it kinda ironic that Keith Relf left the Yardies in large part because he wanted to persue softer, folkier music styles.
Roger Nichols & the Small Circle of Friends - s/t - In 1966, lyricist Tony Asher took a couple of breaks from his day job at an advertising agency to help write lyrics for two pop albums. One of those was Pet Sounds. This was the other.
One Dove - Morning Dove White - Has a cult following.
Five Thirty - Bed Doesn't have a cult following, but deserves one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhnQMB5K6bc
Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue - only completed solo album from the Beach Boys' drummer. Doesn't sound like a Beach Boys album. Still sounds good.
Mark Eric - A Midsummer's Day Dream - It was 1969, and power trios, serious R&B, the first pangs of metal, and Jimi Hendrix's guitar pyrotechnics were changing the face of music, and 16-year-old Mark Eric was ignoring all of the above, instead preferring the softer, sunnier pop of a few years earlier. It evokes Spanky & Our Gang, the Mamas & Papas, anything produced by Curt Boettcher, and of course the Beach Boys, although more Dennis than Brian, not only because his soulful voice recalls the middle Wilson brother, but also because like Dennis, Mark Eric was also a real surfer, and his songs capture those emotions in a way that even Brian's accounts of the sport picked up secondhand from Dennis don't quite capture. Listen to the track below and you can just feel the loneliness of a guy in his wet suit looking for stray waves on a dreary September day, surveying a bleak scene where those vaunted California Girls have disappeared with the cool, drifty weather, and only a few diehard surfers stay to brave the bleak, empty beaches. I love the way the lyrics become more personal as the song goes on. Great, great stuff, but it was not for its time, and it didn't sell. Mark Eric never made another record.

One more one-album wonder I'll rep for: Dios (s/t). I saw them opening for Beulah's last show in my area and was impressed, their music drew influence from both Pavement and the Beach Boys (who decades earlier attended the same high school). They already had an EP out, but before they could gain much traction with their new album, they were sued by Ronnie James Dio, who thought his band "Dio" sounded too much like "Dios". Ronnie James Dio also had alot more money and could afford better lawyers. Guess who won the case? Dios, both the band and the self-titled album, were renamed "Dios (Malos)" - yes, with parens. They also took the opportunity to change a few album tracks, so arguably they are disqualified since there are two versions of their only album. I fend for both versions being combined into one which is probably how it will eventually will be sold, much like UK and US albums with same title but slight track differences. In any case, they never followed up Dios/Dios (Malos) with further recordings.

I'm pretty sure it was put out under her own name and self titled in 1979. The 2003 reissue is credited to Roberto Cacciapaglia and the album title changed to The Ann Steel Album. I was hoping it would count but realise this may be a long shot.

@ KP Really? That is interesting!

― classic albums live! (Ówen P.), Saturday, 13 August 2011 00:29 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah those were the things I knew about her too before I started looking for the album late last year. I quickly discovered you could either pay an absolute fortune for the orginal vinyl with her name on it or the Roberto Cacciapaglia CD version which was slightly less and the one I ended up settling for. It's probably the last album I heard that really blew me away.

The original LP of Would You Believe is one of the rarest rock albums you're likely to (not) find - only about 25 were made, intended to be sent to promoters and radio, but financial problems at Immediate prevented it ever going into full production, despite excellent reviews and the support of several of rock's aristocracy.

I can't find much online about Philamore Lincoln, except that his sole album (on Epic) was released in 1970, and features half of Led Zeppelin backing him up (Jimmy Page on guitar, John Paul Jones on cello), but was likely recorded a few years earlier given that Pagey and JPJ were otherwise occupied by this time. But in 1968, Page had recently joined the Yardbirds after years of studio session work, and Jones continued backing recording sessions for one more year, including the late-period Yardbirds. Yet another Yardbird, Chris Dreja, took the front and back cover photos. There seems to have been no promotion for the album; but Mary Hopkin had a UK hit with a cover of his "Temma Harbour" which appears in original form on this album.
Anyway, the music itself probably already sounded dated when it was first released, but strong hooks never go out of style, and songs like "You're the One" and "When You Were Looking My Way" remain tasty morsels of wistful '60s British pop.

this is a funny thread... any band that records one album that's even remotely remarkable or successful inevitably makes a second, unless some sort of tragedy intervenes. so this thread's pool is fairly narrow, consisting of bands who either never had a hit or found an audience EVER (ie, no reunions or comeback albums a la Gary Wilson or whoever), or bands who willfully disbanded (ie Young Marble Giants) following their initial foray.

I can't find much online info about him. Really obscure even by cult-figure standards, and much of what I can find doesn't agree with other sources, and not many people who knew him seem to be speaking up. Here's what seems certain: He made his first album in 1969 backed by the Wrecking Crew; here's the best information I found from the guy involved in the recent reissue (a good quality needle-drop, since a search didn't turn up any master tapes). Made a second self-titled album in 1972, on a different label, that's likeable but doesn't seem to draw the sort of raves its predecessor did. Also released a single on RCA around that time. The 2nd album was also recently reissued on CD by this Korean company whose legitimacy or quality I know nothing about. The song track listings are in the wrong order, although they play in the correct order on the CD itself (the two songs they made available on their site for streaming are also misidentified). He drove out to Nashville in 1975, stopping at a motel in Santa Rosa on the way. That's the last he is ever seen.
Accounts of those last days vary maddeningly. He was driving either a VW Beetle or a truck. His guitar and wallet were found in the motel room, or maybe he never even checked into his room and there was no sign he ever occupied it. He told friends he was depressed and just wanted to disappear, or he told friends how excited he was about the impending third album he was going to record in Nashville where he thought his music would be better received. A search of the area turned up a body that didn't match Sullivan at all. Both cases remain unsolved.

The Other People Place was James Stinson, who released several albums under other pseudonyms, so I don't think this counts. Otherwise there'd be plenty of electronic music albums to nominate, as those folks are fond of changing their artist names all the time.

Shaggs Own Thing is a compilation but of stuff recorded after their debut and no previously released.

How is it a compilation then? Isn't "stuff recorded after their debut and no previously released" = album. Or how do you define an album?
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 17 August 2011 08:17 (twelve years ago) link
Exactly my point.
Then again, upthread: Does "Grace" Jeff Buckley qualify? If so, so do The Shaggs.

It's not a studio album. It's a collection of stuff put out long after they broke up. It doesn't take molecular science to figure this out. it's like the 8 billion sex pistols comps but they only made one album iirc tbh ffs

So are the best selections here going to be folded into an actual poll?

Cree Summer - Street FaerieBrie Larson - Finally Out of P.E.― Super Villains With Drum Machines (MintIce), Thursday, August 11, 2011 11:22 AM

this is the only mention i could find of the cree summer album on ilx. i loved it at the time, but listening now for the first time in ages and it's, uh, idk. it sounded great when i was nineteen and that seems about right. it's just the right amount of edgy cheese and cringe to still be listenable in a novelty sort of way (i mean c'mon, the guitar solo on 'mean sleep'? hilarious!). i also wonder what most of the songs are about because they don't really make sense. overall, i don't remember it sounding so overproduced. it sounds very thin and lightweight when i hear it now. seems like the exact kind of music that only gets listened to in "recommended if you like. . ." scenarios.

I know this is a dead thread, but I'd have nominated:
Rosie Vela - ZazuBill Nelson's Red Noise - Sound-On-Sound (if it doesn't count as a Bill Nelson album)

Ernie Graham's self-titled album from 1971, backed by Brinsley Schwarz, is a fave. One album and one single, seven years later (appropriately issued on 1 Off Records (a Stiff sub-label)).
