wow that Mark Eric track is something & I'm not even a Beach Boys fan

Whoops, sorry, that Lady of Rage album is called Necessary Roughness, not "unnecessary".
― Tuomas, Friday, 12 August 2011 13:12 (twelve years ago) link
I'd probably vote for Main Source's "Breaking Atoms" if not for that shelved album the 2 DJs made after Large Professor bounced.
― President Keyes, Friday, 12 August 2011 13:16 (twelve years ago) link
I love that first Dios album, too - but didn't they have a follow up LP on Buddyhead Records (called "WEAREDIOS")?
― She Got the Shakes, Friday, 12 August 2011 13:43 (twelve years ago) link
Thought of another one (in addition to the Lowell Davidson Trio posted upthread): The Moves, western MA-based band, one s/t record on Mr. Lady in 2000 or 2001.
― shake it, shake it, sugary pee (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 12 August 2011 14:03 (twelve years ago) link
Hampton Grease Band - Music To EatDebris - Static Disposal
Would totally vote for either of these - they're in my alltime personal top 50.
― Race Against Rockism (Myonga Vön Bontee), Friday, 12 August 2011 14:07 (twelve years ago) link
American Football - American Football
Wolfgang Riechmann - Wunderbar
Fox Bat Strategy - whatever its title is

Anyone mentioned "Quality Street" World of Twist yet? - Mark G
Fkk yeah! Was about time somebody posted that:)

Is there a thread for people/bands who only released one SONG? Or one A-Side/B-Side single?

I cannot believe Bruce Willis had two albums
― CLUB PISCOPO (DJP), Friday, 12 August 2011 15:40 (twelve years ago) link
I oughta reboot this thread with a "let's not nominate every album we can think of that fits the category" option so we can actually have the poll because 200+ option polls are like the dumbest thing ever.
Truly. Okay, as much as I love Young Marble Giants and United States of America (both worthy choices) I have played The Suicide Commandos "Make A Record" 20x more than either, and maybe 100x more than "Never Mind The Bollocks." So this is my vote:

So what's going to happen?
Will the album list get compiled, and we get to choose 20 and put them in order?

kind of annoyed by the reasoning for excluding The Glove
― CLUB PISCOPO (DJP), Friday, 12 August 2011 16:19 (twelve years ago) link
I'm going to look at the .txt file I compiled from the names, think "that's too many and makes for one of those dumb polls with a trillion options," and then probably have a beer

j/k I'll put up a ridiculously long poll when I get a chance I got my hands full today
― pathos of the unwarranted encore (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Friday, 12 August 2011 16:31 (twelve years ago) link
Confining it to only albums that got more than one mention would whittle it down considerably.

oh shit suicide commandos!
that's my vote for sure
― om nom nom nnamdi asomugha (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 12 August 2011 16:46 (twelve years ago) link
Elias Hulk - UnchainedAlamo - s/t
― BlackIronPrison, Friday, 12 August 2011 17:24 (twelve years ago) link
as a proud owner of "make a record" i was gonna nominate suicide commandos until wikipedia informed me of their 1979 live album
come to think of it, john sinclair put out a shitty bootleg-quality live album of mitch ryder's detroit (my nominee) so i guess single-album status is elusive at best

RE Commandos, I thought live albums didn't count (wasn't it decided that Layla counts above?) but I'll sadly withdraw my vote if that's the verdict.
― Hey T-Paw, mow my lawn! (Dan Peterson), Friday, 12 August 2011 19:13 (twelve years ago) link
ah guess you're right. suppose I'll stick w/Detroit. wish I would've seen Suicide Commandos live
fwiw there's a live derek/dominoes at fillmore east from the 90s that's basically the best clapton I've heard besides layla, those southern guys brought out some funk in him
― chief content officer (m coleman), Friday, 12 August 2011 19:19 (twelve years ago) link
i hope whoever picked up my cd copy after i traded that one in is enjoying it as much as i am missing it
a lesson i learnt way too late : never trade stuff in.
― mark e, Friday, 12 August 2011 19:30 (twelve years ago) link
Commandos still reunite occasionally, and are still a helluva lotta fun.

I thought about The Rezillos too (one studio, one live) but then The Revillos was pretty much a continuation.
― Hey T-Paw, mow my lawn! (Dan Peterson), Friday, 12 August 2011 19:35 (twelve years ago) link
Cromagnon - Orgasm (rereleased as Cave Music but its the same exact album so shut the hell up)
― I dream of vodka sandwich (jjjusten), Friday, 12 August 2011 19:45 (twelve years ago) link
Cave ROCK. whatever
Wiseblood - Dirtdish
― I dream of vodka sandwich (jjjusten), Friday, 12 August 2011 19:48 (twelve years ago) link
The Ann Steel Album is one of many albums by Roberto Cacciapaglia, not Ann Steel herself.I think The Glove should be included
― classic albums live! (Ówen P.), Friday, 12 August 2011 19:58 (twelve years ago) link
And though "Colossal Youth" LP is my favourite of all time, YMG issued a Peel Sessions, a compilation of demos+EPs, and a live album... I dunno....
― classic albums live! (Ówen P.), Friday, 12 August 2011 20:00 (twelve years ago) link
I reluctantly accept disqualification of Kendra Smith & The Glove, but the Sleepers record is great and I will also stand by A Primary Industry (who turned into Ultramarine) and The Count Five.
The Underneath is kind of a Karl Blake side project so go ahead and cut it.
― sleeve, Friday, 12 August 2011 20:05 (twelve years ago) link
Delia & Gavin - The Days of Mars
― Neil S, Friday, 12 August 2011 20:09 (twelve years ago) link
I would argue that U.N.P.O.C. released only 1 album since the "second" live album released around the same time, and it was nothing more than a 250 copy limited edition CDr that had all but two of the same songs
And judging from all the bands that I recognize in this thread, I'd vote U.N.P.O.C. as the best artist
so yeahU.N.P.O.C. - Fifth Column

If The Germs don't win this, there is something wrong.
― Nate Carson, Friday, 12 August 2011 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
what was the verdict on side projects and super groups?because we might have to scratch my nomination for Ugly Casanova since it's a super group (debut album from Modest Mouse vocalist/guitarist Isaac Brock and featuring members of Red Red Meat, Black heart Procession & Holopaw)
― stop listening to the lyrics so much. you're ruining music (CaptainLorax), Friday, 12 August 2011 20:22 (twelve years ago) link
Germs is a good one, but I'd rate most of these first:
X-Ray Spex - Germ Free AdolescentsThe Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks...Minor Threat - Out Of StepScratch Acid - Just Keep Eating
― Fastnbulbous, Friday, 12 August 2011 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
some great picks there!
― sleeve, Friday, 12 August 2011 20:28 (twelve years ago) link
I think the Special AKA should count
― the wheelie king (wk), Friday, 12 August 2011 20:32 (twelve years ago) link
I wouldn't rate this one at the top but will throw it in the pot anyway:
Dead Fingers Talk - Storm The Reality Studio
Was gonna add Tin Huey but they had a reunion album. Actually X-Ray Spex did too, even though I'd never heard of that 1995 album before. I don't think it was all the original band members, so I wouldn't count it.
