Airhead - Boing!

Released in the early 90s and had a couple of singles released from the album that got a bit of airplay.
I bought the album and it was quite good, guitar-driven pop.

Good call - Funny how is a great track

[Podie]

Royal Blood - assuming they don't do a second album...

Roy World - Man in the Machine.

I bought the album after hearing one of their songs on the radio and nothing ever since.

That's who I thought of first.

Queen. They only did Queen - Greatest hits.
Oh no, wait, I'm forgetting greatest hits 2

[SAB888]

I think this is a brilliant album but I doubt that many people would have heard of her.

[Halmyre]

Jeff Buckley immediately sprang to mind.

Paice Ashton Lord - Malice in Wonderland

[Ste1987]

I think the reason Jeff Buckley didn't release a second album was because he died. Just saying...

A Sandy Denny offshoot after Fairport.

'The Way I Feel' is sublime.

Good choice - forgot about her. You are right - it was a cracking album. I wonder what happened to her.

Was going to try and be smart and suggest Animal Logic - three-piece band featuring Stewart Copeland, Stanley Clarke and Deborah Holland. Really enjoyed their one album... but a quick check on Wikipedia suggests they did a follow-up. Therefore, what about Jeff Wayne of War Of the Worlds fame.. or is that cheating?

A lot of people mock it. Even their singer said it was the most pretentious album ever in a posthumous ionterview. However it did spawn a superb single. Ladies and gentlemen I give you :

Arcadia: So Red The Rose



Which was brilliant ridiculed at the time as So Dead The Nose by Max Headroom I think
And Mr Le Bon's views on it were somewhat more affectionate late last year:

The single that you may remember - Election Day

I think that should be posted in the worst album cover thread.

Unfortunately she fell out with Wind-up Records (Evanescence, Seether, Creed) and got new management and seems to have changed her musical direction. She even had a band together but nothing came of it. Would have liked to see her make another album and build on what was a very promising Rock career. What a waste!

They played together again last year for the first time in 15 years.

I'm hopeful it might result in a new album....!

I've got the 12" single of Lock It Up, but never bought the album. It's something I'm on the lookout for at car boot sales and the like.

Beltane Fire - Different Breed

Supported Marillion on the Misplaced Childhood UK dates in 85/6. They were crap
