Name a band that should have broke up after only one album.

[StopTheMorans]

U2. actually, they never should have formed, but this would have been the next best alternative.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. Kansas

[StopTheMorans]

2. good recommendation. carry on

:silly:

[johnnie]

3. The Beatles

They set the standards too high for too many people to follow.

[ProfessorGAC]

8. Thought I Was Going To Have To Call A Hit On You

I'm very intolerant of Beatle bashers. I've decided eliminating them is the only logical solution. But, your main message made me realize you actually respect them. You get to live, i guess.
The Professor

[johnnie]

13. Love the Beatles

But dayum.. Where was there to go with them progressively getting better after each release.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. I Knew I Was Right In Liking You!

You and me, johnnie! DU pals!
The Professor

[StopTheMorans]

16. ProfessorGAC and Johnnie, up a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G

:crazy:

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Read My Post In The "Crush" Thread

NOBODY likes me enough for that! (Well, maybe my wife.)
The Professor

[johnnie]

27. Lol

Y-u-I-orta..

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

23. Correct. The drug taking standards.

They basically invented shooting heroin. And because of the Beatles, all of the Ramones, a vastly superior band, are dead. A tragic outcome considering that only two Beatles are dead so far.

[ProfessorGAC]

4. Boston

Of course, they did just make the one album, they just kept chaging the name of it. But, they were all the same record.
The Professor

[StopTheMorans]

9. yeah, their sound sucked on the first record, and they never changed it.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. It's Well Crafted, I Think. But, . . .

. . .it's pedestrian in parts and that's the part that stuck for the rest of their catalogue.
The Professor

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

10. Rofl..when I saw the header I was gonna say

since their second album sounded just like their first, does it count?

[ProfessorGAC]

12. Great Minds, And All That.

The Professor

[terrya]

5. Dare I mention it?

"That band" of the members with the unibrow...

[StopTheMorans]

14. Terry, no band would have that horrible of a sense of fashion to allow

that. Right? :shrug:

[terrya]

18. Right you are, STM.

True, that.

[LibraLiz1973]

54. I like Oasis!

again... just sayin

[jandrok]

6. Boston.

They never recaptured the magic of the first album. They quickly descended into self-parody.

[GreenPartyVoter]

29. The second album was pretty good too

[asthmaticeog]

7. Tortoise.

They still kick high ass live, but all their records after the first one have been useless, too-slick wankoffs.

[MrScorpio]

17. Winger

And plenty of other hair bands

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

42. Actually, I think Winger, et al. should have quit after

their first rehearsal.

"You know, guys, we suck. I say we quit now."

[skygazer]

20. Foreigner

I thought their first album had some potential but it all went downhill after that.

[LibraLiz1973]

55. I like Foreigner too!

lol. So far I havent agreed with much

[AntiCoup2K4]

21. Steely Dan

Worst, most pretentious excuse for a "band" ever. (except for maybe Oasis....nah, at least Oasis has enough members to BE a band)

[JVS]

35. No way! The Dan rules!

[Lannes]

47. I agree Steely Dan was amazing

[MrScorpio]

45. That's the most ridiculous statement I've seen in a long time

Steely Dan Rules

[donheld]

51. Steely Dan Rules

:yourock:

[driver8]

49. Steely Dan?? That's blasphemy! n/t

[LibraLiz1973]

56. Steely Rox!

[Twillig]

22. Van Halen and Guns and Roses

Incredible ass-kicking debut albums that each band couldn't live up to in subsequent albums. G&R, of course, just flamed out.

VH had some good stuff for a couple more albums, but VH I is just a wall to wall onslaught.

IMO

[jandrok]

32. They were great up to "Fair Warning"

IMO, Fair Warning was their high watermark. It was their heaviest and fastest album overall, and all of the songs were tight.

VH1 was awesome, but they still had the gas.

[LibraLiz1973]

57. really liked both

But I guess GnR could have broken up after Appetite. It didn't get better after that, just more self indulgent

[lpbk2713]

24. Kiss

All show. No talent.

[warrens]

28. True. They had one album worth of at least mediocre songs

After that, they didn't even try.

[Liberal_Andy]

25. jefferson starship

[KittyWampus]

62. Bingo!

[bobthedrummer]

26. Black Sabbath.

[SKKY]

30. Aerosmith...

I'm so freakin' sick of them I can't see straight. Hate them. Always have, always will.

[frylock]

33. i'll second that

[evlbstrd]

37. Same here.

How many versions of "Walk This Way" do we have to put up with?

[flvegan]

31. Oasis or Creed.

[Initech]

34. Limp Bizkit. End of discussion.

Really, Fred Durst thinks he's a musician. Really, he's just a record company exec with a rock band.

[Jamastiene]

53. I second that. n/t I don't like them.

[RedstDem]

36. The Black Crows

Not Quite Sure If They Should Have Just Skipped The "We're A Band" Thing Altogether...

[Dr Fate]

38. Jefferson Airplane- not so great after "Pillow"

Although that was LP #2.

It's superior in mono for anyone who cares.

[The Great Escape]

39. Little Texas

the originators of the Toby Keith mullet perm.

[Obamarama]

40. Air Supply (as in "cut it off")

I was "All out of love" for that ghastly managerie of big haired crooners from the moment I first heard a peep out of them.

[enigmatic]

41. The Dream Syndicate and The Rain Parade

Both put out absolute classic debut albums:





Then had the bands fall apart by having vital members leave (Karl Predcoda/Kendra Smith for The Dream Syndicate, and
David Roback for The Rain Parade), which gutted both bands.

Both put out servicable albums afterwards, but never reached the heights of their debuts.

Edit: Meant David Rovback instead of Steven Roback..

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

44. Pearl Jam

They had some decent stuff after Ten but let's face it: nothing measures up or will be remembered as fondly.

[sakabatou]

43. Hanson

[leftofthedial]

46. The Gin Blossoms

<can't frigging type>

[stpalm]

48. Linkin Park. they blow. (nt)

[Lannes]

50. Living Colour

Didnt like their sophmore album.

[LibraLiz1973]

52. I love U2.

Just saying.

[Burma Jones]

58. Hootie and the Blowfish

[Lilith Velkor]

59. I feel the same way about the Dave Matthews band

:hide:

[Bok_Tukalo]

60. The Knack

<ope>

[Arugula Latte]

61. The Spin Doctors
