Bands with just 1 decent album

Post by theraven1979 »

Ok the title is a little harsh but it struck me earlier that there's some bands that IMHO only have 1 decent album. Or putting it another way there are some bands I don't really care for apart from 1 album. For example:

Document - REM
In The Garden - Eurythmics


Any others?

I only liked the first Clash album but I dare say I am in a minority.

Propaganda - A Secret Wish.

Interesting that Jim has picked REM because I'd be tempted to nominate "Green" over "Document".

Yup, and I'd say Murmur and Reckoning piss over anything else REM ever did :lol:

I disagree with all of you and I'd say that the only R.E.M. album I don't like is Around the Sun.

I like Fables of The Reconstruction and Life's Rich Pageant.

Kinda proves REM's "just 1 decent album" is highly debatable.
Now for a dead cert-

Oasis - Deffo Mibees.

I actually quite lie 'Around The Sun' (songs were much better live). However, my favourite REM album is 'New Adventures....'

Yeah definitely a bit harsh, although Generation could be said to be their best ?

I would have thought a lot of Stranglers fans could at least like The Holy Bible, with it being quite a dark album like...
