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

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.

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.

@ KP Really? That is interesting! I haven't read anything about that record, all of my knowledge about it was gathered from extemporaneous commentary from the friend who introduced it to me, including "Sears catalog model" "from middle America" "contacted by Italian dance producer" "she wrote all the lyrics herself, and cheekily calls punk 'boring' in 1979"

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.

Tranquility Bass "Let The Freak Flag Fly"

Tranquility Bass "Let The Freak Flag Fly"

yeah that guy completely disappeared, didn't he??

wait no he didn't!

astoveboat - new bedford

Sarah Winton - You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down.

If compilations don't count, Black Tambourine never released an album btw.

Also The Nerves, unless it is a different The Nerves.

Handsome - Handsome

Simon Warner - Waiting Rooms
Strawberry Switchblade - Strawberry Switchblade
A Girl Called Eddy - A Girl Called Eddy
Mylo - Destroy Rock & Roll

I'd like to nominate these but think that their involvement elsewhere will nix it.

Beth Gibbons and Rustin Man - Out of Season.
Von Sudenfed - Tromatic Reflexions

Billy Nicholls- Would You Believe?

Sibylle Baier - Colour Green is my solitary nomination.

that's lovely.

was feeling v good about only having nominated one thing, a thing i'd vote for, here, & this is never gonna win, but is so great, but feels worth including because there do not seem to be an abundance of private press gospel/w/e records here:

the spiritual singers: ntsamina

Fille Qui Mousse- Trixie Stapleton 291

Sorry to have nominated so much stuff in this thread. Not trying to contribute to an unwieldy poll, but I've just been enjoying the process of figuring out albums that fit this criteria.

Fibonaccis: Civilization And Its Discotheques

Their only LP. Otherwise there was an EP and a posthumous collection of odds n sods.

2 more :

hardwater - s/t : david axelrod tries his hand @ producing 60s psych-byrds type grooves.

the holy mackerel - s/t : quality paul williams tunes via 60s psych

both are major players on my playlist these days.

Billy Nicholls- Would You Believe?

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.

simon warner, simon pretentious, simon awful.

simon warner, simon pretentious, simon awful.

haha.
a few years ago someone on ILM told me that lp was a good'un.
i bought it cheap. got 3 tracks in. gave up.
never listened all way through.
could be time to go a diggin' in the archive and see if it clicks now that i am older and more openminded ?

It's available on spotify for those who are curious http://open.spotify.com/album/3EZEosVwVwad7Two87a1Kg if you don't like Bowie at his most rococo or the Divine Comedy then best to move on. Needless to say I partly disagree with keythhhtyek in that it's awful. Pretentious, absolutely but that stuff is catnip to me.

love bowie, hate divine comedy.
where does that leave me i wonder.
found it in archive : now if smallkid leaves me alone for a few minutes ..
