Great One Album Wonders

demonrail666 · 04.07.2007, 01:40 AM

Those bands that produced one killer album only to have everything else they did slide into the "who cares?" bin.

Well, this is easy since they only made one proper album but...

The first (eponymous).

When I worked in a record shop, it was in the days when we just displayed the covers and kept the actual records behind the counter in card sleeves. You would write the band and the name of the album on the sleeve, and if a record was self-titled, you'd write 'eponymous' in place of the title. This was so that it was clear that somebody hadn't just forgotten to write the title.

One girl who worked there never grasped the idea and didn't know why we wrote eponymous on some sleeves. And then REM released an album called Eponymous. She was completely screwed then!

That's great ha ha aha ha.

I worked in a record shop with this guy who took great effort telling everyone that Cap't Beefheart went in the C section, and that Alice Cooper went in A. He was a total alphabet nazi.

I think Fra Lippo Lippi had one good album and that was about it. The Primitives.

The first Sugarcubes album was (and still is) great. After that. forget-about-it.

What's wrong with that.

Our manager was a Genesis fan, and we used to wind him up by putting Phil Collins solo albums in the Genesis section. May not seem like a big deal, but he used to go a nice lobster colour.

Television.

I'm surprised that no-one's mentioned the first Stone Roses LP. Lots of people still seem to have love for that. Little ole me thinks it's one of the most over-rated rock LPs of all time. Sure, it's not bad (not like Sisters of Mercy bad), but it's not that bleedin' good either, John Squire or no John Squire.
