Yes you did. My bad. I should save my posting until the evenings when I don't have to sneak ILX reading/posting in between other chunks of work. :\

Wild Tchoupitoulas - S/T
This is a great record. (I'm listening to The Wild Magnolias as I type...)

I think Modern Lovers s/t should count because only David Robinson was on both albums with Jonathan. They lost two really important members!
no
this is like nominating the Velvet Underground because Nico was only on the first album

This is a great record.
Agree. I'll be voting for this if this ever ends up in a voting stage.

What about various combos of artists who did one album together? Like Eno & Cale, or Reed & Cale, or the Stills-Young band?
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.

like if you count engineers & sidemen as contributors, which is really a fair proposition to make, you could technically nominate every album ever made for this poll

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

Good call with the Herion! I was thinking of adding Antioch Arrow to this list, but they released two full-lengths didn't they?
Anyway, Exploding Hearts will probably be forever my best and only answer to this question. I played the album in the car during a drive out to my parents a few weeks ago, forgetting that my wife had never heard the whole thing, and she fell instantly in love with it and we ended up playing it like 6 times in a row.

suggest anyone into those picks checks out that torches to rome record. not many people seem to know it, but it's one of my fave 90s hardcore records. (ex-fuel guys. the hardcore/emo fuel, not the shitty mod rock fuel.)
would also suggest checking out the worst case scenario record, which is justin from unwound doing really intense touch & go style hardcore, except i can't find a copy of it anygoddamnwhere now.

does 2 Bad Mice - Kaotic Chemistry count or would that be considered a compilation?

Daughters of Albion S/T for sure, though not enough people here have heard it for it to win.

as in, this is one of my top 10 albums ever
which LAMF is btw
feel like 2 Bad Mice counts though I'm afraid it opens the door to several dozen HxCx discography CDs
