Bands who made one good album but otherwise suck.

[TyeDye75]

IE. Limp Bizkits, three doller bill yalls..IMHO and Third eye blinds first album.

1. Hootie and the Blowfish

I saw them in concert when that cd they had out was big time. They were not bad in concert but they've done shit since.

[Jessica]

2. Hate to say it .. but Creed.

I liked their first one .. but that was it.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

6. a-fucking-men.

Horribly sold out.

[tridim]

11. Did anyone see Creed's lead singer on Celebrity Poker?

He was a total douche.. and a dumbass. Exactly what I expected. I've know lots of fake musicians who acted exactly like him.

[TyeDye75]

17. Scott Stapp is his name I think

and your right he is a wanker

[Kikosexy2]

3. Boston...

debut album rocks and then went down hill after that. And Men at Work debut too.

[CBGLuthier]

4. Boston

They may be the kings of that phenom.

Also a band whose first two albums I like, Klaatu, did 3 others I think and I can't stand any of them.

As the old saying goes, you have your whole life to prepare for the first one and less than a year for the second.

18. I beg to differ on Boston...

The second and third albums Don't Look Back and Third Stage were pretty good, but Walk On and Corporate America were pretty spotty...the thing that pisses me off about Boston is always waiting about 7 years for them to release their next album...

5. Gin Blossoms

although "otherwise suck" is a little extreme for any of those mentioned

[northzax]

8. well, given that their songwriter died

it makes it a bit more difficult.

[leftofthedial]

21. yep

drank himself out of the band and then killed himself after they fired him.

he was the singer too. They never recaptured that sound. New Miserable Experience was a great record though.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

7. Staind.

Goddamn horrible whiny bullshit since the first CD.

[TyeDye75]

10. Ill second that one

they were promising early on.

[northzax]

9. U2

War and then sell tou commercial crap.

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

12. Oasis

First album good, nothing since.

[TyeDye75]

15. I would say the second one was good too.../nt

[liberalpragmatist]

19. 3 good albums

1 - Definitely Maybe (1994): awesome. Some of my favorite songs. Essential and unfortuntely little-known in the US.

2 - (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995): Bigger success, not as good as the debut. But still great

3 - The Masterplan (1998) - little-known b-sides compilation that is better than Morning Glory. In the UK, Noel Gallagher dumped most of his best songs on his singles so that his band could make must-have 4-track EP's - some of the best ones are showcased on this compilation

After that it was downhill. Third album is an overblown mess. Fourth one is alright - subdued in a good way - but boring. And the fifth is okay but nothing special.

[tridim]

13. That's why I respect the Beatles so much

Their albums kept getting better and better until they broke up. They were the anti-one-hit-wonder band.

[Ramsey]

14. Candlebox

Great first album, the rest...yawn!

[jswordy]

16. Geez....I could go on and on...but I won't...

These come immediately to mind, no particular chronological or other order...

Seven Mary Three
Garbage (sigh)
Evanescence (sigh)
Ramatam
Buffalo Springfield
Peter Frampton
Living Colour
April Wine
Boston
Bryan Adams



...and tons and tons more....

[SmileyBoy]

20. Creed

Their album "My Own Prison was really good. All else sucked.

[bobbobbins]

22. Blind Mellon

Although their second album was alright...it wasn't anywhere near as good as the first...and they never had a chance to redeem themselves
