Nominations for Best Album By An Artist Who Only Released One Album poll

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

there was another Don Johnson album so he's disqualified

I cannot believe Bruce Willis had two albums

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

So what's going to happen?

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

Confining it to only albums that got more than one mention would whittle it down considerably.

Arc Angels
Black Star

Neither were exactly side projects when they happened.

oh shit suicide commandos!

that's my vote for sure

Elias Hulk - Unchained
Alamo - s/t

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

CRU - Da Dirty 30

Original Concept - Straight From The Basement Of Kooley High

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.

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

Original Concept - Straight From The Basement Of Kooley High

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.

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.

Cromagnon - Orgasm (rereleased as Cave Music but its the same exact album so shut the hell up)

Cave ROCK. whatever

Wiseblood - Dirtdish

The Ann Steel Album is one of many albums by Roberto Cacciapaglia, not Ann Steel herself.
I think The Glove should be included

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....

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.

Delia & Gavin - The Days of Mars

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 yeah
U.N.P.O.C. - Fifth Column

* - ,and it

If The Germs don't win this, there is something wrong.

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)

Germs is a good one, but I'd rate most of these first:

X-Ray Spex - Germ Free Adolescents
The Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks...
Minor Threat - Out Of Step
Scratch Acid - Just Keep Eating

some great picks there!

I think the Special AKA should count

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.

Was gonna add Tin Huey but they had a reunion album.

Me too; wish the reunion album was better.

Oh, hey, I'm a big fan of Remy Shand, The Way I Feel. Guy slipped off the map afterwards.

I mean, I also love X-Ray Spex, so.

however he feels, he at least has a warm head

can't believe fucking BABYLON ZOO managed two albums

I fear I've fallen out of my "make serious nominations" phase

felt the same way when I checked Tin Machine's discography

start an "artists who should have released only one album" poll!

haha okay I need to stop because I was about to nominate "Chris Gaines"

Flux - Uncarved Block

(I do not want to hear any crap abt how this is Flux Of Pink Indians cuz it isn't all of the same people and it is totally different musically & lyrically)

yo i'd just like to say this is a cool idea. a lot of these are on spotify so i started to playlist that shit:

http://open.spotify.com/user/callalldestroyer/playlist/5DgQcF6WXYybf3a6yZKC78

i will work on it when i am bored. new radicals will not be on the playlist fyi.

I love that first Dios album, too - but didn't they have a follow up LP on Buddyhead Records (called "WEAREDIOS")?

Would Death count? (one studio album, ...For The Whole World To See during their existence, one posthumous odds & sods compilation)

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.)

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.

Would Death count? (one studio album, ...For The Whole World To See during their existence, one posthumous odds & sods compilation)

Someone nominated Big L upthread, and he too got one of those posthumous compilation albums after he died, besides the one album he released while living.
