Was one of my favorite albums for a long, long time....probably still in my top 20.
This post made me seek out some other one (album) hit wonders...
Been listening to...
The Modern Lovers...eponymous....less edgy than punk of the time...sort of pre new-wave punkish....good....not quite my style, but good
The La's - eponymous -- makes me think of R.E.M. would have sounded like if R.E.M. would have been better....funny, the one song I recognize...the hit, 'There She Goes' is the low point of the album...
Rockpile - Seconds of Pleasure - meh
Monks - Black Monk Time -- Not really sure what to call this....there's a little bit of lots of different stuff in there...not quite punk....stripped down Black Keys-ish at times....maybe a little surf guitar influence... with psychadelic distortions....the vocals are too raw for me, but I was never tuned into punk-type vocals...
Green River - Rehab Doll - I lived outside Seattle for a time and am familiar with most of grunge's family history, but this one should be talked about with Temple of the Dog and Mother Love Bone...somehow it has escaped me until now
