Who are some artists where you love one of their albums but aren't into the rest of their work?

A few for me:

At the Drive-In (Relationship of Command)
Daughters (Daughters)
Decapitated (Organic Hallucinosis)
Gorgoroth (Ad majorem Sathanas gloriam)
Leftover Crack (Constructs of the State)
Phish (Sigma Oasis)
Pulp (This is Hardcore)

I really like a lot of Phish’s studio albums, some more than Sigma Oasis, including their most recent one. I actually think their studio work is underrated.

Erm, ackchyually, Foo Fighters self-titled slaps and bangs.

Good call on Bon Iver.

If we're giving Coldplay Parachutes, it feels cruel to deny them A Rush of Blood....

Almost every other artist you listed sucks an unbelievable amount, so I won't go there.

John Cale - Fragments of a Rainy Season
Paul Simon - Graceland

Two of my favorite albums ever but I've never been inspired to really dig deeper with either artist.

I’d call Paul Simon a 1.5 album wonder. Rhythm of the Saints is really good, too.

I was a freckle and a hair away from posting Graceland, but I decided I like bits and pieces from elsewhere; Graceland is the only PS album on rotation in its entirety though

Eh, self-titled is a solo Grohl effort... it's also the only 'Foo Fighters' album I ever revisit.

Nice work out-ackchyually-ing my ackchyually. You're better than this. It's a Foo Fighters record.

I only enjoy Volume 2.0 from Garbage, but I love it.

Their debut is great. Uppercut needed.

Whatever Bush’s first album was called.

Throwing Copper by Live. Secret whatever had a couple of good tunes but Copper was solid from start to finish.

You don't even understand the rules of your own thread. Fucking hell.
