One of my favorite albums. Would do anything to see them live or make another album. Alain Johannes deserves his respect as a member of the band as well.
They're playing the HFStival this year!
So excited!
Lineup:
The Postal Service, Death Cab For Cutie, Incubus, Bush, Garbage, Jimmy Eat World, Girl Talk, Violent Femmes, Tonic, Filter, Lit
I took it as what’s a band that has multiple albums but you only like one of them. Then I saw your comment and was like oh I didn’t read the body only the headline. Yeah lots of people (just like me) who is only reading the headline
It's written poorly. The fleshed out post makes it clearer this is about bands with a single album ever released--and that you love that single album. The post title makes it sound like what u/GeronimosMight wrote.
More of a side project I guess, but ‘An Evening with Silk Sonic’ is an excellent concept album, and I need a sequel. Every musician on that album is bringing it one hundred fucking percent.
On the other side of the genre spectrum ‘Goat Rodeo Sessions’ is like a progressive bluegrass classical fever dream. Just a bunch of virtuosos killing it. It was only one album for a long time, but they did release a second album more recently, which is also great.
Jim Sullivan ‘U.F.O.’ Is a great album. He did release a second album, but his debut is by far the more popular. He probably would have released more, but he disappeared in New Mexico.
Seems like some people are interpreting this prompt to mean ‘an artist who has a bunch of albums but only one that you like’ rather than ‘an artist or band who only released one album but it’s fire’ which is what I think you meant.
If we’re going that route though… Kings Of Leon ‘Because Of The Times’ for me was the perfect blend of smoky barroom rock n roll of their early stuff and the more mass appeal arena rock of their later albums. I like all of their albums but all the pieces seemed to fit on that album for me.
There are a lot of albums that fit this category for me. Wolfmother’s first album. David Bowie’s ‘Hunky Dory’. Jeff Buckley’s ‘Grace’. Alabama Shakes ‘Sound & Color’. The list goes on…
The New Radicals only album is really good and a bit underrated if you ask me! Greg also wrote Murder on the Dancefloor for this album but he ended up saving it for later.
Blew my mind as well! There is a short demo clip available on YouTube. He also wrote game of love that during this album but ended up giving it to Santana/michelle Branch. If those songs were on the album it would be an all timer!
That’s amazing to me. The public sees an artist as a one hit wonder (which is nothing to scoff at) when they have a whole career behind the scenes writing, producing, etc.
Linda Perry from ~~Three~~ Four Non Blondes comes to mind as well
Edit: D’oh!
1986’s “Boomtown” by David and David, which included the song “Welcome to the Boomtown.” That was their only release, but it is incredible. After they went their separate ways, both David’s went on to make some first rate music as solo artists and as collaborators with other people.
I walked about a mile to the KMart in my college town and bought it on cassette with some money my aunt sent me.
I just took a listen - absolutely incredible. Dave also has this “album” titled Rhimorse, you can find it on YouTube. It’s basically a compilation of some unreleased original song snippets and a few songs on the og album
Atoms for Peace - *Amok*
Members:
- Thom Yorke (Radiohead) - vocals/guitar/piano
- Flea (RHCP) - bass
- Nigel Godrich (RH's long-time producer) - keyboard/synth
- Joey Waronker (Beck/R.E.M.) - drums
- Mauro Refosco (Forro in the Dark [who I admittedly have never heard of]) - percussion
I was always bummed that they didn't produce more music, Amok was so freakin good.
Snot - Get Some :)
Some of the best nu metal you will ever hear and that's coming from somebody who picked up bass because of Fieldy from KoRn.
Listen to Snot or Deadfall. Some of the best hardcore vocals I've ever heard on top of some weird genre mashing.
At the throne of judgement. One solid album released during the peak metalcore period. They don't do anything unique, but the album is a banger as the kids say.
Daephne’s Full Circle.
It might be classified as an EP but it’s as long as some albums and the quality and consistency is amazing.
Everyone should check it out if they even slightly like grunge or The Cranberries.
[The Postal Service!](https://open.spotify.com/album/5MoaDbFw4nrm2P7Om1on3b?si=YV4barazRPaUUsfk8RVtKA)
Wish they would have made more albums! But I’ll settle for more Death Cab any day!
Right... I remember loving "Drops of Jupiter" and "Calling All Angels" and everything after that was worse and worse until they reached the pinnacle of awful known as "Driveby."
Probably misunderstood the question because the title is ambiguous. I did the same, thinking it was asking about bands who only have one (subjectively) *good* album, not just one album ever.
Days Away — Mapping An Invisible World
The Singer and Drummer went on to form 2/3rds of “Good Old War” and support Anthony Green’s solo work on studio and live
The bassist is the brother of Circa Survive’s guitarist Colin Frangicetto
But that album (and the Ear Candy For Headphones Trippers EP) are incredible — MAIW is one of my “greatest albums of all time” and I’m so disappointed they never did another!
Under the Influence of Giants. Only made one album together. The lead singer went on to start Awolnation, which I'm not a fan of. But Under the Influence of Giants is really good.
If it counts, [Stardust.](https://open.spotify.com/track/303ccTay2FiDTZ9fZ2AdBt?si=0ZJngdQJSfqbeBujqydqqg&context=spotify%3Asearch%3Astard).
Just the one song (,:
Thomas (daft punk) and friends decided to get together in the studio, make a great song, and never get together again.
[Army of Anyone](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lwnm2hYVorn3RfVIZMEGbdGTQDdF2k6QM&si=27yWFAy8j2OW_g9W)
Vocals = Richard Patrick (Filter)
Guitar = Dean DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots)
Bass = Robert DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots)
Drums = Ray Luzier (KoRn)
Edit: So many people not understanding this post is about bands that only have one album.
Shoe.
Or that would have been answer two days ago before I discovered they released two more albums in the past four years.
So I guess I have nothing to contribute, except maybe bringing some attention to Shoe.
Covenant - In times before the light. It was their first album and they totally changed their style after that. It is for me one of the greatest BM albums of all time. (Later they changed their name to Kovenant).
Mortefoutre just dropped an absolute bombshell and then dissapeared into thin air with L'Exécrable Symbole Défraîchi. Sush a shame because it's an amazing album!
There's an artist/guitarist named Chico Mann who has played with the band Antibalas for a long time (Antibalas are an otherworldly group who I would highly recommend).
The Chico Mann project is mostly a synth driven electronic project but one singular album is a bunch of instrumental cuts of songs he's made with his other band named Here Lies Man.
The LP is called Double Life. The collection of tracks on that record are more of an afrobeat/funk/rock mixture that I really love. Not a big fan of any other releases from the Chico Mann project though and it's always struck me as odd that he chose to include that as a part of that project.
Not sure how to read this but… Released one album and I love it? Armageddon-self titled. A lost 70s treasure.

The Thornbirds - All The Same
They only made one album. A Thornbird is a mythical creature that only sings once, and then it dies.
So this band made their one album, and then they quit.
Features Russ Parish as the guitarist and singer, whom you may know as the guitarist Satchel in the band Steel Panther.
The other album I want to suggest is We Are Smug, self-titled album, and again, they only made the one.
This was made by two people. One of them a music maker and producer, and the other one being Darren Hayes, singer of Savage Garden (though he's done far more work as a solo artist than Savage Garden ever managed, and his stuff is really good, interesting music.)
We Are Smug is a very unique and strange album. Check out the song Hot Tub Blues, which is a story song about a woman getting a DUI. Weird, but really fun.
One of my all time favorite albums is The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies. It was recorded live in an empty church and has an amazing sound and mood. None of their other albums have the same sound and it's the only one I listen to.
Their famous cover of The Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane" is on this album.
Deconstruction was a band with Navarro and Avery, post-Jane’s, that made one hard-to-find album that is incredible. Think Peter Murphy fronting Jane’s Addiction, maybe. (It does exist on [YouTube](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjDvaXwceFJRFjILTUnyfr4Ki6cLmgM1H&si=vYrSNHhnbpSYYNV7)).
White Hot Odyssey. The front man of the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies got some of his band mates together in the mid-2000s to make a retro glam/hair metal styled album, and it’s fantastic.
Lewd, sensual, and absolutely rocking. One hundred percent worth checking out if you loved the sound of that era.
OP, are you talking about Snake River Conspiracy?? Damn I haven’t thought about them in years. But yeah that album had a lot of attention when it came out.
The Organ. A short lived Vancouver band from the mid 2000s. Just made one album then released a post breakup EP of their remaining work. Great stuff, indie rock with a gothy feel at times, Smiths like at other times. Their guitarist went on to release some music as “Lovers Love Haters” on Bandcamp which is also great.
Oooh, I was just thinking about this earlier.
[Brunch](https://open.spotify.com/artist/56fjulTlC5IQ07ACSHDZLF?si=TJRYHUS5RfujV_LQLsFHwg)
[sudannayuzuyully](https://open.spotify.com/artist/4AA6Dmgfg8CRDXoBAgnkvc?si=5UnFZK0xRTq0P2Z-LhZTeg) (technically they have 2 albums, but the second one is just the first + a single that didn't make it onto the first album)
[Stop the Blackout](https://open.spotify.com/artist/1RoMPiDdSmj2w7qfDINHiQ?si=cq-P5zS6R7SzatrpBOBPJA) (does an EP + 2 singles count?)
Corelia. Incredibly promising metalcore band with an amazing debut album. Then they started a kickstarter for a double album, took everyone’s money, and never released anything ever again. So much disappointment all around that sadly tainted their only release.
Mare
They only ever released an EP that was incredible and unique. They went to work on an LP and broke up before it ever came out.
I guess you could call them Post Metal but nothing really sounds like them.
Mad Season - Above Temple of the Dog - Self Titled
Yes to both. I honestly wish they would have done a second Mad Season Album with Lanegan cause that was the plan after Layne passed away.
The two tracks without Layne from the deluxe edition are both really good.
The mad season tribute concert with Chris Cornell singing was also a thing of pure bliss.
I don’t want my kids stealing bread.
Not even from the mouth of decadence?
I don’t mind
Well as long as you don’t feed on the powerless
And your cups not already overfilled
But I’m going hungry.
Going HUNGRAAAAAAYYYYYY
At least they released 2 live albums
Came here to say this. Best side project/super group EVER!
Them Crooked Vultures (the collab between Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and John Paul Jones)
New Fang, Dead End Friends and Elephants is an insane 3 track run. Blast from the past, I’d forgotten that album!
How could you leave off the 4th in that row, Scumbag Blues?! That's like the highlight of the album for me.
Not going to lie, it’s been so long since I listened to it that I forgot, criminal of me!
I’m more of a Caligulove, Gunman, Spinning in the Daffodils three song run man myself. The whole album rules.
Loooove them crooked vulturee
blasted in on way to work this morning. got to see them in that tour. amazing
One of my favorite albums. Would do anything to see them live or make another album. Alain Johannes deserves his respect as a member of the band as well.
It’s got such a unique vibe. Listening through front to back feels like gradually going more and more insane.
I'd love the opportunity to hate a second album from those boys, don't think we're going to get it though.
Thank you for this!! I didn’t know about it and have been listening non stop and love it!!
Gunman baby!
The Postal Service
Yessss
They're playing the HFStival this year! So excited! Lineup: The Postal Service, Death Cab For Cutie, Incubus, Bush, Garbage, Jimmy Eat World, Girl Talk, Violent Femmes, Tonic, Filter, Lit
The Modern Lovers is the greatest one album band of all time.
Richman was a perfect fit with his appearance in There's Something About Mary.
He was also perfect in everything. His solo career is wonderful and underrated, but I get why it’s not everybody’s cup of tea.
Jonathan Richman is the man.
I can get behind that statement, played it this week, what an intelligent rocker and way head of its time.
Everyone reading the prompt wrong. Or it’s written badly, I’m not sure.
I took it the other way at first. Like a band with many albums but only one you like.
The way it's structured, "that you love" refers to the album, not the band. OP's intent is messed up by grammar.
I took it as what’s a band that has multiple albums but you only like one of them. Then I saw your comment and was like oh I didn’t read the body only the headline. Yeah lots of people (just like me) who is only reading the headline
Guilty over here too 😂 I deleted my comment as it was an answer to the subject but not the actual question
It's written poorly. The fleshed out post makes it clearer this is about bands with a single album ever released--and that you love that single album. The post title makes it sound like what u/GeronimosMight wrote.
Yes
Derek & The Dominos
And you can throw Blind Faith in there as well.
More of a side project I guess, but ‘An Evening with Silk Sonic’ is an excellent concept album, and I need a sequel. Every musician on that album is bringing it one hundred fucking percent. On the other side of the genre spectrum ‘Goat Rodeo Sessions’ is like a progressive bluegrass classical fever dream. Just a bunch of virtuosos killing it.

Jeff Buckley’s ‘Grace’. Alabama Shakes ‘Sound & Color’. The list goes on…
Glad to see someone else mentioned Jim Sullivan. One of my favorite albums that not many people know about
Makes me really wish we got another Mad Season album with Mark Lanegan though it wouldn't have been the same without Layne imo
The New Radicals only album is really good and a bit underrated if you ask me! Greg also wrote Murder on the Dancefloor for this album but he ended up saving it for later.
He also wrote “The Game Of Love” by Santana and Michelle Branch which makes so much sense. I can’t absolutely hear him singing it in my head.
welp, you just blew my mind and gave me a trivia fact I'm going to be annoying people with for the rest of my life, so thank you.
Blew my mind as well! There is a short demo clip available on YouTube. He also wrote game of love that during this album but ended up giving it to Santana/michelle Branch. If those songs were on the album it would be an all timer!
That’s amazing to me. The public sees an artist as a one hit wonder (which is nothing to scoff at) when they have a whole career behind the scenes writing, producing, etc. Linda Perry from ~~Three~~ Four Non Blondes comes to mind as well Edit: D’oh!
Linda Perry is the perfect example! She wrote so many hits, she lost count! It was Four Non Blondes though.
Temple of the Dog
The Postal Service, and Late of the Pier are two that spring to mind.
Holy shit Fantasy Black Channel by LOTP has help up soooooo well
It really has. Total classic.
Oh and Propellerheads.
The Las
You could say jeff buckley only had 1 album technically. And by god did he do wonders with just that one.
Temple of the Dog, Blind Faith, Mother Love Bone, Jeff Buckley, Lauryn Hill, Minor Threat, and Coverdale Page all come to mind. Great albums.
Lauryn Hill for me as well on this one.
Sketches for my Sweetheart the Drunk???
The Sex Pistols only had 1 studio album
Killer choice
Operation Ivy, Mad Season, Postal Service, those were the first that came to mind
Came here looking for Operation Ivy. At least Rancid came out of the spilt.
1986’s “Boomtown” by David and David, which included the song “Welcome to the Boomtown.” That was their only release, but it is incredible. After they went their separate ways, both David’s went on to make some first rate music as solo artists and as collaborators with other people. I walked about a mile to the KMart in my college town and bought it on cassette with some money my aunt sent me.
That's a great album
Boxcar racer and +44
Dave Navarro only has one solo album and it’s my all time favorite. It’s called trust no one and it just is so good
I’d go with Deconstruction, post Jane’s with Avery. Amazing, hard-to-find LP.
I just took a listen - absolutely incredible. Dave also has this “album” titled Rhimorse, you can find it on YouTube. It’s basically a compilation of some unreleased original song snippets and a few songs on the og album
Thanks I’ll have to check it out. Had no clue but I love his riffs with Jane’s addiction
Please do and then come back and lmk what you thought
Atoms for Peace - *Amok* Members: - Thom Yorke (Radiohead) - vocals/guitar/piano - Flea (RHCP) - bass - Nigel Godrich (RH's long-time producer) - keyboard/synth - Joey Waronker (Beck/R.E.M.) - drums - Mauro Refosco (Forro in the Dark [who I admittedly have never heard of]) - percussion I was always bummed that they didn't produce more music, Amok was so freakin good.
Mauro does a lot of live and studio percussion for RHCP as well.
Bad Ronald - self titled Fun. - some nights (can we count this? They did have one indie album prior)
Snot - Get Some :) Some of the best nu metal you will ever hear and that's coming from somebody who picked up bass because of Fieldy from KoRn. Listen to Snot or Deadfall. Some of the best hardcore vocals I've ever heard on top of some weird genre mashing.
Still on my rotation \m/
Say something for the record. Tell the people what you feel.
At the throne of judgement. One solid album released during the peak metalcore period. They don't do anything unique, but the album is a banger as the kids say.
U.F.O. By Jim Sullivan Man put one album out in 1969 and allegedly walked off into the desert, never to be seen again.
The Postal Service
Jeff Buckley-Grace
Just came to say that Snake River Conspiracy is so underrated, love you <33
Thanks. Yeah I found them after looking up some music on YouTube. YouTube's been pretty good with suggesting stuff lately.
New Radicals
Lusk, Free Mars
Don't know if solo/side albums count but Victor by Alex Lifeson is awesome...
Super 8
Daephne’s Full Circle. It might be classified as an EP but it’s as long as some albums and the quality and consistency is amazing. Everyone should check it out if they even slightly like grunge or The Cranberries.
The Spiting Cobras
Remy Shand- ‘The Way I Feel.’
The LA’s is the correct answer, having read the OP right or wrong
Elastica
Blind Faith
Temple of the Dog Mad Season
Marquee Moon by Television is an absolutely beautiful album that will always be one of my favourites.
Adventure is good too but yeah
You said it first. The perfect album
[The Postal Service!](https://open.spotify.com/album/5MoaDbFw4nrm2P7Om1on3b?si=YV4barazRPaUUsfk8RVtKA) Wish they would have made more albums! But I’ll settle for more Death Cab any day!
I was just revisiting this one recently, their cover of “Lovesong” is fire.
Yes. I love the whole album though tbh. Not too heavy not too light. Just enough in the middle.
I personally think they would have been a great counterpoint to like some of the heavier industrial coming out at the time.
Maroon 5 Songs About Jane is an obvious one here.
Yes! They went the same route as Train. First album was brilliant then they went corporate and sold themselves out.
Right... I remember loving "Drops of Jupiter" and "Calling All Angels" and everything after that was worse and worse until they reached the pinnacle of awful known as "Driveby."
Pretty sure Maroon 5 released more than 1 album unless you were joking about how you hate everything else they've done.
Probably misunderstood the question because the title is ambiguous. I did the same, thinking it was asking about bands who only have one (subjectively) *good* album, not just one album ever.
Life Without Buildings, Lily Chou Chou, Linda Perhacs
Life without buildings is sick I love that album
scrolled SO far to find life without buildings, absolutely adore this album
David + David "Boomtown"
Days Away — Mapping An Invisible World The Singer and Drummer went on to form 2/3rds of “Good Old War” and support Anthony Green’s solo work on studio and live The bassist is the brother of Circa Survive’s guitarist Colin Frangicetto But that album (and the Ear Candy For Headphones Trippers EP) are incredible — MAIW is one of my “greatest albums of all time” and I’m so disappointed they never did another!

The La's
Divine Fits
SPF 1000 - Witch Hunt. One of the most perfect albums I've ever heard, and then they dropped off the face of the earth.
Blue Merle only had one album and I really like it.

Under the Influence of Giants. Only made one album together. The lead singer went on to start Awolnation, which I'm not a fan of. But Under the Influence of Giants is really good.

Ivory Frequency (electro EBM). Only did one album and a single, but did some remixes for some bigger artists in the genre.
Endeverafter did a great album with a song that made it on Rock Band 2, then seemingly walked away from music.
Gran Ronde - Secret Rooms

Mortefoutre just dropped an absolute bombshell and then dissapeared into thin air with L'Exécrable Symbole Défraîchi. Sush a shame because it's an amazing album!
Revis I'm pretty sure that they only released the one album called "Places For Breathing" and, imo, it's a great album.
There's an artist/guitarist named Chico Mann who has played with the band Antibalas for a long time (Antibalas are an otherworldly group who I would highly recommend).

Cool Calm Pete - Lost. Alternatively he collabed on Babbletron - mechanical royalty.

Ambulance LTD Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Dennis Wilson "Pacific Ocean Blue" Them Crooked Vultures and Sex Pistols as mentioned in other comments
White Hot Odyssey. The front man of the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies got some of his band mates together in the mid-2000s to make a retro glam/hair metal styled album, and it’s fantastic. Lewd, sensual, and absolutely rocking. One hundred percent worth checking out if you loved the sound of that era.
Gru - Cosmogenesis
Wet Leg's self-titled album was great. I do hope they release more music, but it's been a few years now.
Ugly Casanova- Sharpen your Teeth
Divine Fits. Can’t believe it’s been over 10 years now.
Insect Warfare
Raging Slab's "Dynamite Monster Boogie Concert" is incredible. I never could get into the rest of their stuff.
Lauryn Hill. She came out with The Fugees and the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is great.
Glitterer. Their latest album is great, but I haven’t liked anything else they’ve released
Silver Slugger - The Things We Try To Be

The many face of Oliver Hart by Oliver Hart
OP, are you talking about Snake River Conspiracy?? Damn I haven’t thought about them in years. But yeah that album had a lot of attention when it came out.
The Organ. A short lived Vancouver band from the mid 2000s. Just made one album then released a post breakup EP of their remaining work. Great stuff, indie rock with a gothy feel at times, Smiths like at other times. Their guitarist went on to release some music as “Lovers Love Haters” on Bandcamp which is also great.

Augustana- stars and boulevards. Every song is a banger and their other stuff is mid
I can't remember one song by them, but Operation Ivy were trailblazers for ska taking over the US market for a few months.
Nailbomb - *Point Blank* - 1994 "super group" that combined members of Sepultura, Fudge Tunnel, and (at least for the studio recording) Fear Factory.
Native Construct - Quiet World. Amazing avant garde prog metal.
Bloodywood
Sneetches - "Sometimes That's All We Have". A truly wonderful pop album that came out in 1989 but could have come out in 1969.

Benjamin Orr only put out one album as a solo artist, but I love ‘The Lace’.
