One Hit Wonders
I've been thinking about asking this for a while now. Since I've been getting into the whole Quebec prog scene, I've found quite a few bands who only had 1 or 2 albums. Most of them are pretty obscure, so it got me to thinking: how many other great bands are out there who only had 1 or 2 albums?
Ground rules: 1) One or two studio albums. Live albums are extra, IMHO. 2) Band needs to be done. Naming a band that just put out their first album defeats the spirit of the thread. have fun and thanks! |

As far as I know, the Turkish band Siddhartha (on the Moon) just made on album (which is out of print) and never appeared again

Re: One Hit Wonders
Well, not necessarily all prog, but some great one hit wonders in my eyes are:
Dryve - Thrifty Mr. Kickstar Chasing Furies - With Abandon Bellador - The Day's Intent Chris Squire - Fish Out of Water

Re: One Hit Wonders
anyone who hangs out in the shoutbox knows that one of my favorite unknown bands is Il Berlione. they made 2 albums and vanished. can't say enough good things about them.
Sloche only had 2 albums Opus 5 had one Pollen had one Anglagard only had 2 studio albums Bacamarte just had the 1 album, I'm pretty sure Dun just had one album I thought I had more when I was thinking about this before. I'll have to post later if I remember who they were. |

Re: One Hit Wonders
Sorry, Kazuhiro, I do not think that Maneige, Harmonium, Miriodor or Visible Wind count as "bands who only had 1 or 2 albums".
Maybe you understood that lamour was looking for Canadian bands? |

Re: One Hit Wonders
Nathan Mahl and FM both had more than album. Nightwinds unfortunately put out the very good yet obscure same titled album.
There were lots of Italian and English proto prog bands who only put out one or two albums: UK: Spring Cressida Marsupiliami Kestrel Indian Summer Still Life England Fuzzy Duck Raw Material Czar Room Quatermass Locomotive T2 Web Fire Jody Grind Aardvark Julian's treatment Catapilla Bachdenkel Titus Groan Gygafo Fantasy(one proper album released originally) Italy: Semiramis alphataurus biglietto per l'inferno cervello museo rosenbach Locanda della fate quella vechia loconda murple Corte dei miracoli De de Lind Apoteosi Luovo di Colombo Maxophone Cherry Five J.E.T. E.A. Poe Panna Freda I Giganti Planetarium Eneide Paesi di Balocchi Capitolo 6 Capsicum Red Citta Frontale I Califfe Racamendata Ricevuta Ritorno (RRR ) Cincinnato Il Giro Strano and plenty more I'm sure |
