Bands who had one good album, but suck otherwise

This was one I thought of first. There’s some decent songs on their other albums, enough to for me to say they don’t suck, but the disparity between this one and the others makes this a solid choice. I could still listen to this beginning to end, except for Lightning Crashes because it was so overplayed back then.

The Knack - Get the Knack
Graham Parker - Shooting Out Spatks
Hootie and The Blowfish - first album ..... Cant think of the name of it
Men at Work - Business as Usual
Richard and Linda Thompson - Shoot Out the Lights

Weezer definitely doesn’t qualify. Bush might though, they had like seven #1 hits on their debut album and I don’t even know I’d they made another one.

You’re right, that bush album (sixteen stone I think?) was great but really dropped off after. They had a couple singles here and there but nothing like that first album.

Cracked rear view was the Hootie, I think it sold over 10 million copies. crazy how they become so huge so quick. Especially right after Grunge, that whole “college band rock” of them and Dave Matthews Band

Brotherman, the second album is genius, just in a different way. And their singles from before the first album are great. Actually, their two reunion songs are good(not great) for only half the band wanting to do it (really just Ian Brown). Ians solo records keep getting better. He's personally cool as shit. Lemons. Dude, please delete this.

It's not in the same league as the debut though is it. Bands who take too much time over a follow up normally don't ever get close.

Sex pistols were a punk boy band who blew up as soon as they got big. Can't really even say they did anything past their debut. Massive impact considering.

Hot Fuzz fucking sucked. Sams Town is the only good album The Killers had

Sams town was great, everything after has been shit. “When you were young” is the most Bruce Springsteen song Bruce didn’t write.

I'm massively nostalgic for Hot Fuss. The first girl ever sucked my dick really liked it. They were massive in the UK first and ever since then they tried chasing Americana type sounds

 

[IGotATreeOnMyHouse85]

The other two Audioslave albums are so fucking forgettable I forget they even exist. Also Tom Morello is a faggot

I didn’t even know they had a third album until recently, I remember the first album and be yourself from the second but the rest was real forgettable

All music sucks.

Imagine needing something to tap your foot to.

It's not in the same league as the debut though is it.

I'd say it is, just different kind of music. I started on them with "Love Spreads" and eventually got the first album on cassette to check it out. At first I thought it was garbage and it went in the box under my bed for like a year til I tried it again and realized it was genius. After that I kept my drivers license in the cassette tape case and carried that around with me everywhere.

Hard disagree here but I get it

Hard disagree on Nirvana and GnR.

In Utero isn't as good front to back as Nevermind but it's pretty God damn good with plenty of classic tracks.

Appetite is so good nothing else could come close, but the best songs from both Use Your Illusions would make a hell of an album. Not sure if you're counting Lies since it's not a real album album but I could listen to half of it over and over. Post UYI can fuck right off though.

They did have only one good album but it was Diorama.

The aughts was definitely the faggiest era for music since disco. In fact, a lot of it reminds me of shitty disco.

Lost his vocal chords in a car crash. Became the greatest ghost writer in rap history.
