Do you have any artists you consider favorites, but they only have 1 or 2 albums?

well, I was just wondering

Is it possible for you to consider and artist with just one album one of your all time favorite artists?

This Mortal Coil - they only made 3 albums, but all 3 are amazing!

My rules are very strict. I cannot consider an artist a favorite or myself a fan unless I have all their studio albums and try to see them live every time they play in my city. Likewise, an artist can only be considered if there are two albums worth of material released. No one-hit wonders allowed.

YES:

Prince
Siouxsie And The Banshees/The Creatures
Tori Amos
Janet Jackson

NO:

The Cure
Björk
PJ Harvey
The Pipettes (not yet, but very very soon)

But I like them all a lot.

Sex Pistols only made one proper album & are one of the greatest bands ever.

Not for me, i need something to show me who the artist is and is going to be, and 1-2 albums or even 3 or 4 probably wont even do it, for me at least. This is why when i see music magazine covers called brand new bands the "Best Bands Ever" or an artist on their debut being called the new so and so, i just laugh and think lets see who you are 5 albums down the line and can you even get that far.

Imogen Heap.

I first heard of her when she did that song (as Frou Frou) for the "Garden State" soundtrack ("Let Go"). That led me to Frou Frou's cd ("Details") which is pretty good. Then I got her solo album, "Speak for Yourself." It didn't hit me at first, and I put it away. Then, I read a ton of critics raving about it, so I gave it another try and it became one of my favorite albums. Then, I saw her play at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, and I was blown away. One of the best performances I've ever seen.

Her songs have been in a ton of movies and t.v. shows ("Narnia," "Six Feet Under," "The O.C.") but she only has 3 albums total (including the Frou Frou one). She worked with Dave Stewart and Guy Sigsworth, too, so that also kind of led me to her.

I love her.



Here are a few videos from "Speak for Yourself":
