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

junkanoo band - key west

the other people place lifestyles of the laptop cafe

The Other People Place was James Stinson, who released several albums under other pseudonyms, so I don't think this counts. Otherwise there'd be plenty of electronic music albums to nominate, as those folks are fond of changing their artist names all the time.

Shaggs Own Thing is a compilation but of stuff recorded after their debut and no previously released.

How is it a compilation then? Isn't "stuff recorded after their debut and no previously released" = album. Or how do you define an album?

Exactly my point.

Then again, upthread: Does "Grace" Jeff Buckley qualify? If so, so do The Shaggs.

It's not a studio album. It's a collection of stuff put out long after they broke up. It doesn't take molecular science to figure this out. it's like the 8 billion sex pistols comps but they only made one album iirc tbh ffs

Also until they record a new one... That Death album that Drag City reissued

Oh, hey!!!

So are the best selections here going to be folded into an actual poll?

Let's not and say we did.

Opal - Happy Nightmare Baby

(EPs & comps not applicable, right?)

Cree Summer - Street Faerie
Brie Larson - Finally Out of P.E.

this is the only mention i could find of the cree summer album on ilx. i loved it at the time, but listening now for the first time in ages and it's, uh, idk. it sounded great when i was nineteen and that seems about right. it's just the right amount of edgy cheese and cringe to still be listenable in a novelty sort of way (i mean c'mon, the guitar solo on 'mean sleep'? hilarious!). i also wonder what most of the songs are about because they don't really make sense. overall, i don't remember it sounding so overproduced. it sounds very thin and lightweight when i hear it now. seems like the exact kind of music that only gets listened to in "recommended if you like. . ." scenarios.

I know this is a dead thread, but I'd have nominated:

Rosie Vela - Zazu
Bill Nelson's Red Noise - Sound-On-Sound (if it doesn't count as a Bill Nelson album)

Wow – Brie Larson released an album as a teenager(?)

Ernie Graham's self-titled album from 1971, backed by Brinsley Schwarz, is a fave. One album and one single, seven years later (appropriately issued on 1 Off Records (a Stiff sub-label)).
