Non One-Hit-Wonders who never topped first LP
I'm talking about quality, not sales.
And not looking for "flukes" as much as artists who produced great first albums right out of the gate.
Elvis Costello - As great as later stuff is, to me My Aim Is True is astonishing.
I thought I could come up with more right off the top of my head. The top of my head is not the
reliable resource it used to be.
But at least maybe I got it started.

Re: Non One-Hit-Wonders who never topped first LP
This is actually a question, not a statement. I've only heard 'Music from Big Pink' and 'The Band' by The Band. Did anything they released after that (not counting the soundtrack to The Last Waltz) compare to those two albums?

Yeah when I cited The Cars it was in the spirit of they-were-never-better-than-this.

Re: Non One-Hit-Wonders who never topped first LP
They got more popular but never came close to equaling this album imo partially due, I'm sure, to drug overdoses of 2 of the 4 members after only 2 records. This is such a kick-ass record and way more edgier than you might think if you've only listened to Brass in Pocket or their records starting with Learning to Crawl.

I think this is a great topic, so trying to see if I can get it going again.
Here's my contribution:

Re: Non One-Hit-Wonders who never topped first LP
I agree with Devo and Elvis Costello. Most of the others I don't know well enough. In the rock world, I think Led Zeppelin's first was as good as the band got...though other albums surely came close.
In jazz, Louis Smith.

Re: Non One-Hit-Wonders who never topped first LP
Stone, I agree on Fiona Apple, too. The Police, not totally sure. I've always been a sucker for Ghost in the Machine and Reggatta de Blanc. But their first LP is indeed incredible, especially when you factor in the album production costs (£1,500).
And, of course, Ghost in the Machine is one of the best album covers ever.
