The concept of the one-hit wonder is one of my favorite things in music. How can somebody be so successful...just once? No more, no less. This is sorta like that, but a little bit more impressive (depending on how you look at it, idk). Today we're talking about one-ALBUM wonders. Who had the world in their hands for an entire project and then somehow lost it? Or let go of it on purpose? Etc. Comment down below with any that I might've missed.

It usually happens to the first album because there's literally infinite time to make your debut album. All subsequent albums are weighed down by expectations of time, money, or dozens of other factors.

I feel like George Harrison’s Cloud Nine deserves some recognition. It took the music world by storm when it released, and is the reason why we have the gift that is The Traveling Wilburys. My man George is much more than just his triple album

The Stone Roses was the standout band of my childhood, my dad is a huge fan. Tragic they never got the chance to fulfil their potential and hype

This concept makes me think of Some Nights by Fun. That album had 3 huge songs and good a lot of commercial and critical acclaim and then the band never made anything else

Nobody’s said Spiderland by Slint yet I think that fits perfectly here

I think that Loveless by My Bloody Valentine qualifies as a one album wonder. One of the greatest and most influential albums of the 90s.

One I always bring up is Endtroducing by DJ Shadow. It was so incredibly good but none of his other albums even come close to that masterpiece.

Not really sure about George on this one. If your argument is that most people only listen to the one album then you could classify hundreds of artists as one album wonders because they have one album bigger than all their others. After ATMP, "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)" was a massive hit, along with its parent album. Cloud Nine was also a big hit with a couple of big singles, and the Traveling Wilburys were big too. Regardless of popularity, all those albums are worth a listen.

I totally understand your argument for George Harrison being on this list and while I agree to a degree, I want to stress how good some of his other albums are. "Living in the Material World", "Thirty Three & a Third", "George Harrison (1979)" and even "Brainwashed" are all on a similar level as "All Things Must Pass", and they all have songs that rival songs on that album. I would still say ATMP is his best album, but it's closer than you would think.

Sky Ferreira is a name that immediately came to mind with her only album (Night Time, My Time) turning 10 this year. Fantastic record from start to finish.

BOSTON is definitey not a one album wonder. Yes, the debut was never matched (17 x platinum) but the next 2 albums were #1 selling 7 and 4 x platinum respectively...not too shaby. On top of that, they scored their only Hot 100 #1 single in 1986, a decade after their debut.

Cracked Rear View by Hootie and the Blowfish is one of the most obvious examples for me. One of the best-selling albums of all time and they never released anything ever again even moderately approaching its success.

I think Fetty Wap should have been on this list. His self titled album is one of the greatest hit making albums of the last decade

I'd argue it definitely wasn't Sid's death that prevented the Pistols from making more music, it was the fact that they and their management are/were way too individually volatile to exist in the same space for long periods of time.

I always think of the New Radicals when I think one album wonders
Such a vibe of an album, slaps from front to back, Get What You Give is one of the best pop songs of our time and yet he never followed it up, Gregg still had a fantastic career as a songwriter after the fact but I still can't help but think what could've been if he never disbanded the project
54 |
I think including solo albums by members of popular bands is kind of cheating, I would never say Lauryn Hill is a one-album wonder when she made The Score. DJ Shadow and Slint for example come to mind. And maybe you could count Burial as a different type of one-album wonder, since he basically switched to shorter formats? Depends on how well you like his debut album.

I'll toss in Elastica's 1995 S/T debut for consideration. They rose out of the Brit pop explosion of the mid 90's with a more punk edge and Justine was an undeniable force of a frontwoman. They may not have exploded like the artists on this list but they made an impact, dropped 16 bops on the world and were never able to recreate the magic on their final two records.

The one album not here that I've been screaming about for years now is The Wallflowers' _Bringing Down the Horse_. That thing was EVERYWHERE, and I was convinced at the time that Jacob Dylan had everything that was going to make him a star. But afterwards...nothing. I'll still bust out Everybody Out of the Water every once in a while, but nothing else touched that first album.

I wouldn't call George a one-album wonder. Cloud 9 was huge when it came out. Sure it wasn't on the level of ATMP, but it was still pretty successful.
