12 Inch Poll: The Greatest One-Album Wonder
This week’s 12 Inch Poll comes courtesy of you. Or, specifically JJ in Boston, who called in to talk about bands that only released one album.
Turns out there’s quite a few of these one-album wonders in the rock pantheon. And they fall into a few categories, too: bands that burned out fast, acts that disbanded and moved on to new projects, supergroups, one-offs. I’ve identified what I believe to be the seven strongest one-album wonders. Now it’s time for you to tell me which one is the best. Cast your vote below.
