I don't recall seeing the original thread, but if we're going by having just one full non-posthumous album, Jeff Buckley would count (though he had singles and EPs and an album in the works). There have been plenty of single album bands, though the ones that come to mind are primarily one-shot supergroups like Little Village or Hindu Love Gods.

First, Shelby Starner, who only managed one beautifully promising album before her untimely death. I have "Dreams You Had" on a mix for the car and, although my partner can't stand her voice (and I can understand that) I can't understand why this hasn't become a standard. It's so simple, so magnificent and so resonant. > > There's also Matthew Jay and his "Draw" album. While a collection of his unreleased tracks was released after his suicide (shamefully, I don't own that) I count this as his one real album, a tender, reflective, but still very uplifting album that filled me with such sunshine I was amazed when he took his own life. Some have compared him to Elliot Smith, but I don't see it. I could never get into Smith - no matter how hard I tried - but Jay had me hooked after one listen. > > Two artists who had a lot to offer, there. > > Adam K > > ____________________________________________________________ > Share photos & screenshots in seconds... > TRY FREE IM TOOLPACK at http://www.imtoolpack.com/default.aspx?rc=if1 > Works in all emails, instant messengers, blogs, forums and social networks. > - -- Joseph Zitt ::http://www.josephzitt.com ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #206 ***************************
