I was thinking it, but the second album is supposed to coincide with the movie release "Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny" which may be out next year.

Hm... without looking at my collection at home, I'll have to say Chick.

not to mention numerous live albums

Not really correct, although it's two albums, The Great Rock & Roll Swindle was not an all original LP. They were all either previously unreleased songs, remakes from the Bollocks album, and contributions by several peices of the band. Also swapped between Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten.

Never Mind the Bollocks is their only real album. I need some old-time punk fans to back me up!!

I'm not the best person to talk to about them, but I know that much.

I thought about the D, but like hp said, they are still together and are going to put out another record.

oysterhead had a pretty good lineup
i liked zwan, even if nobody else did
jeff buckley's grace was good (i don't think he ever released another finished studio album)
soft cell (not counting greatest hits albums) is pretty good
Electronic was a great album
Temple of the Dog is hard to beat

but i don't think any of them beat layla

EDIT: I'll take Jeff Buckley - Grace just to be different. I can't believe nobody mentioned him yet.

Wtf? Both of them have more than one album. :confused:

Jeff Buckley only had one album. The rest were live albums, I think.
What I meant when I said Eric Clapton wins this, hands down, was that both Blind Faith and Derek and the Dominos had Eric Clapton in the band.

I think I'd classify buckley as only having one album. Sketches for my sweetheart the drunk was uninished and pretty much released by some family member looking to cash in after he died.

Band of Gypsies with Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles and Billy Cox.

The original release was from a live performance at Filmore East in 69/70. A second disk (Live At Fillmore East) was discovered and released at a later date but they are the additional tracks of the original performance.

Why are you so obsessed with sales rank and chart positions ?

Just like in the McCartney/Harrison thread...



We're talking about personal tastes and opinions.
I think Derek & the Dominoes have a great album, but I prefer
Blind Faith. Derek and the Dominoes are pretty much popular for
one song (Layla)...which is one of my favorites off the album
along with Bell Bottom Blues, but if Blind Faith would have had a
single hit as big, I'm sure their album would be as popular.
However, when considering the complete album material, I, personally, think
Blind Faith has a better record.

Anyways, Derek & the Dominoes technically have two official albums.

I have both of them.

(One is live)
