This week, we’re exploring the one-album wonder. Sure, everyone knows about the one-hit wonders like Blind Melon’s “No Rain” or The Knack’s “My Sharona, but what about the artists who made an entire album that was dynamite and then faded away? 

That’s what we’re diving into. What are some of our favorite albums from artists who found lightning in a bottle one time and why did it never really happen for them again?

We’re joined by our good friend Josh White, former bassist of local band Curse the Mariner and market manager for Unified Beerworks to help navigate the landscape of artists who were outstanding that one time. 

In the episode, Josh, Beam and Corey each nominate three of their personal favorites and then they try to whittle it down to the top five. So come for intelligent breakdowns of emo masterpieces and stay for when they nearly come to blows over nu-metal.
