One Album Wonders

About this episode

The episode explores bands that have released only one album, focusing on Aerosmith's 'Toys in the Attic' and other notable one-album wonders.

Sometimes, bands release only one album – no follow-up, no nothing! Some are great. Some, not so much. This episode, we look at a bunch of what we’re calling “One-Album-Wonders". In 1975, Aerosmith released their breakthrough album, “Toys in the Attic”. Did we like it then? Do we like it now? In “Albums You Must Hear Before You Die”, we examine these and other mysteries. All this and the usual mix of stuff. We know you’ll love it. References: Mark Ke...
