Bands that were ONE album wonders.

[depechedingle]

Any bands that you consider to have an excellent debut album and then, nothing no other recordings.

I'll start with The Seahorses - Do It Yourself.

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Sea Urchins : Stardust

[Gunfury]

Sea Hags

[yTib]

sex pistols
the la's

[yTib]

I'd go as far as say that The Seahorses were a one-song wonder.

As mentioned, The La's definitely fit the bill.

Dogs Die in Hot Cars - 'Please Describe Yourself'

[karatekid]

Pulp

[depechedingle]

pretty sure that many of the bands already mentioned released more than one album.

[Roosterbooster]

And most one hit wonders have released more than one song. But i don't think that's what this is about

I'm gonna stick The Killers in. Nothing gets anywhere close to their first album

Also got to disagree with Pulp. His n Hers is brilliant, not just Different Class

[Devils_Advocate]

MC5's
Queen
The Jam
The Specials

Id like to retract my Queen suggestion. On reflection I think its unfair to suggest they have had even one decent album

Totally agree with your assessment re The Killers Hot Fuss is a fantastic album.

My eldest will find you and do you serious damage. She is a fanatic. Tickets for a few of their gigs this Summer. Haven’t heard the latest yet but she is purring over it.

pulp??

wrong in terms of the op's question and wrong in every way.

pulp? jesus.

You are welcome... (or maybe not after you have heard it!)

[Billy Balfour]

X-Ray Spex - Germfree Adolescents

[what_no_pies]

Logged in just to pile in some more on the Pulp suggestion.

His n Hers, Different Class and This is Hardcore are all brilliant. There's plenty to enjoy among their other 4 studio albums too.

Jarvis is still knocking out great stuff to this day.

Shiny Toy Guns = We Are Pilots

Likewise logged in to comment on this. Cant say I'm a Pulp/Jarvis fanboy but they have several very good albums, no way are they one-hit-wonders.

Pulp

Nonsense

[Stalbansclaret]

Become a bit of a joke thread this with some pretty ignorant posts. Star prize goes to Devils Advocate suggesting The Jam were one album wonders...yeah riiiiiiight !!!

Weller has his faults, but he wasnt even a one band wonder lol

[RingoMcCartney]

MC5's
Queen
The Jam
The Specials

Given the last 3 in that list and combined global sales of their output. I reckon that , given your large back catalogue of input on here. Surely you must have made at least one decent contribution, and been a one post wonder.

[Wile E Coyote]

queens first album was it, after that it was dross like we will rock you,
anthemic dross for wrestling fans and sales teams.
they were popular and rich. but fat bottomed girls and i want to break free were comedy songs for the numb.

[Craigyp01]

The verve?

Depends on criteria of a 'hit'. They certainly never lived up to urban myths.

I was just going to say The Verve. Urban Hymns was brilliant but don't recall a follow up if there was one.

[Dark Cloud]

Wheatus.

Both Storm in Heaven and Northern Soul prior to Urban Hymns we’re ten times better that pile of plop. Plus they released a final album but I’d given up on them by then.

They spilt up after Urban Hymns. The released Forth when they reformed but it was pap.

[Leepick21]

They released the album "forth" in 2008 which was a number 1 album for them, while it wasn't a patch on urban hymns, it did have a couple of good songs, love is noise and rather be being the only ones I can recall

[Murger]

Keane - Hopes and Fears.

[RingoMcCartney]

The Teardrop Explodes. Killamanjaro.

MGMT – Oracular Spectacular.

[timshorts]

Bruce Springsteen.
Lots of different album covers, but the contents all sound the same.

[Devils_Advocate]

The Kinks, they had one really good album and the rest was garbage except for the odd decent track

[EarbyClaret]

Cowboys International - Original Sin
