In Reply to: Groups which only put out only one really good album and then.... posted by edta on December 14, 2006 at 15:52:17:
Music Machine - "Talk Talk" - the title track and The People In Me hit the charts, and their cover of Hey Joe has remained a favorite. But pszt-fizzle, all their talk went into one record.Richie Havens - "Alarm Clock" - his Woodstock appearance drove Here Comes the Sun through the roof, and then everyone was ready for a nap.
Fever Tree - big hit with the psychadelic crowd, until they forgot
Mike Oldfield - "Tubular Bells" - tubular, man, and then down the tubes.
Richard Harris - "MacArthur Park" - I guess people decided that cake in the rain wasn't so tasty after all.
Lemon Pipers - "Green Tamborine" - which quickly turned into the Jungle Marmalade of death.
Iron Butterfly - "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" - baby. The birth of metal, with a seemingly endless number of stillbirths to follow.
For you real oldtimers ...
The Surfaris - "Wipe Out" - which they did immediately therafter.
The Singing Nun - "Dominque" - perhaps if she had followed up with Dominatrix.
And who could ever forget ...
Follow Ups:
... If nothing else, Voyager.
But I was considering albums that were acclaimed or popular.I guess you could have added Mickey and Sylvia to your list for their "Love is Strange." I got the album that it's on and it sucked.
"But I was considering albums that were acclaimed or popular."Uh .... All of these albums hit the top of the charts and got lots of airplay. And I think most of them had Billboard #1 singles (except maybe Fever Tree, whose hit "San Francisco Girls" may not have made it to #1).
There are clips of all of these, I think, on YouTube. Some of them, there are multiple clips.
I'm not sure what definition you use for acclaimed or popular, but I'd say they qualify.
I thought you were referring to hit songs. These hit songs were album titles also, I take it? Ok, never knew that. I guess they weren't on my list.
