Propaganda actually did release another album, 1,2,3,4, so they don't qualify.
yeah I already made that point

there's hardly any rap which seems weird to me so I'm gonna bump the B-side of Queen Mother Rage's Vainglorious Law right now to see if it qualifies as well as I'd remember it - it's like a great lost X-clan album, sonically - fuck I love this record
also I'm asking the mods to auto-ban anybody who votes for the New Radicals
can i get a ruling on Fotheringay then?
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.

Some info on Lowell Davidson.
Not only was it his only record as a leader, he never even appeared on other records as a sideman.

I also nominated Never Mind The Bollocks, which if allowed (and I can't see why it wouldn't be, Swindle not being a proper album) will own this poll

I think Modern Lovers s/t should count because only David Robinson was on both albums with Jonathan. They lost two really important members!
I nominate Hexendanz, which I think is awesome even though no one has heard of it out of Alburtis, PA.

I think Fotheringay should count as well. It should be one album released in the artist's lifetime. That second album is really just some kind of compilation/odds and ends thing.

Agree. I'll be voting for this if this ever ends up in a voting stage.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 11 August 2011 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
no. the idea is not to get as many names as possible. it's to poll albums by unique artistic entities who never recorded an album again. otherwise there's a trillion jazz combos that were never technically the same thing again, the Byrds probably'd qualify, etc etc.
