Bands that you wished made more music.
« on: October 11, 2010, 02:28:15 PM »
You ever get a CD and you fall in love with the band but for some reason, they never make it.  From a label not promoting them well enough or the band themselves never reaching the same heights as their first or second cd?

Lets post a few of these bands.  My first is a band from 1989. Billy Sherwood of Yes fame started this band with Bruce Gowdy from Stone Fury(old fogey's know this band). I loved their 1st cd, self titled and they released a second CD in 1995 that went nowhere.  So hear is a song from their first CD. It's called, Open The Door.

For me it's Toad the Wet Sprocket.  Great song writing.  Great music.

That's a great one Durg.  Great melodies.  I loved Walk on the Ocean live where Glen Phillips played the solo on the mandolin but with distortion.  I miss them too.

Seriously:

Bon Iver   One really great album and one semi good EP = not enough
David Gilmour    I could really appreciate another album like On An Island.
Fantomas    Last album: 2005
Planet X      Always more Planet X
Ron Jarzombek     SSOTC is a great great album, so are the Spastic Ink albums.
Transatlantic.

Reflexion - Only 3 albums. Their newest one was this year, but I would love to hear more material from them.

For My Pain - only one album. Amazing symphonic goth metal supergroup that was made up of members of Eternal Tears of Sorrow and Nightwish. There was talk of another album being released last year, but I guess it's not gonna happen anymore.  :-\

Wintersun - Only one. The new album "Time" has been in production hell for the past 6 years. WTF. And there's been no news whatsoever about the progress this year, or at least there's none that I know of.

That's the BEER IS GOOD band right? :lol

Anyways, Neutral Milk Hotel was the first band I thought about. Deep down inside, I wish they did a few more albums, but I understand it's tough to beat In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.

and if dead people count: Frank Zappa, Nick Drake

Peter Gabriel.  Anywhere between six and ten years for a proper studio album.

The New Caledonia -  Only one (although very, very awesome) album and then a break up.  :sadnessssssssss

Protest the Hero - In studio but taking forever geez

Bruce Dickinson - Chemical Wedding is one of the greatest metal albums ever, Tyranny of Souls was good, but I think he can deliver more awesomeness with Roy Z than he is with Maiden.  As much as it saddens me to admit.

SikTh - Trees... and Death of a Dead Day are masterpieces and I'm sure the band had tons of fire left in them.

King, I think the only memorable thing on Sandwich was "who likes vagina I do, I do..." the songs just seemed so forced and aren't funny. Actually, The Thank you song was cool. They need their original bassist back. And yes, they're the Beer is good band. It's called BEER!!! :tup

Have you seen any videos from the latests European/South American tour?  He plays all of Scratch My Back live, which is kind of meh, but then he plays solo material with the orchestra.  "San Jacinto" sounds SO GOOD.

I talked to Billy Sherwood on the Progressive Ears forum about World Trade which led us to Stone Fury and how Billy liked the guitarist playing so they got together and formed WT.

I haven't. I will check it out.  I kick myself for not seeing him live.

Bands that broke up too soon:

Clockwork - one ABSOLUTELY AMAZING album then they broke up, and they all disappeared.
Dali's Dilemma - again, one and done, but at least they've stuck around in other bands.
Ice Age - Two solid albums before unsuccessfully selling out.
Power of Omens - Death of bassist  :sadpanda:

Bands that don't record often enough:
Arena - about 5 years between albums lately
Bruce Dickinson solo - Way to awesome to stop
Enchant - it's been almost 7 years  :sadpanda:
Shadow Gallery - yeah, they released an album last year, but the last three albums have been 4+ years apart
Symphony X - Two albums in last 8 years, although if they release another album as poor as Paradise Lost I won't care too much any more.


Peter Gabriel.  Anywhere between six and ten years for a proper studio album.

I can't see that.  He always came off as really sincere to me.  

I guess, in the vein of people who died to young, there is also Nick Drake.  I more wish that he had gotten to see how much people appreciated his work, and I could have listened to 30 albums of his.  


I also wish that we would have gotten to hear more from Kevin Gilbert.  His "The Shaming of the True" showed that there was a LOT of depth and talent to the guy that we'd never get to see..


I'll also say Damien Rice, so I've not only mentioned dead people....
