Which one of Spandau’s FIVE top ten albums was the worst. They must have done something right to have sold 25million of them.

Songs from the Big Chair was a great 2nd album from TfF. I’m glad they did bother.

His first album Tapestry is actually good. Features the melody And I Love You So which kickstarted his career. Def not a one album wonder for me.

We are morphing into a “I only ever liked one album of theirs” thread in which case I always thought The Killers were such a band. Their subsequent albums after Hot Fuss were not to my liking.

Re Operation Ivy, I like it and think it was probably ahead of its time and paved the way for a lot of what came after.
No not heard Common Rider, but think they're a bit more modern and I stopped really listening to punk & hardcore a while ago TBH, save for the occasional outing of something to take me back to my youth.

Tapestry was the first one I got ( Homeless Brother was decent as well) Tapestry only got to 22 in the UK LP charts on its reissue in 1972 (after American Pie was a hit ) Was originally issued 1970 but didnt chart ... AP got to 2 in UK and 1 in USA

Yeah not saying Tapestry was a better album than AP but it was a decent enough one to exclude DM from the list of one album wonders.

I think Tapestry has just as many great songs as A.P. Three Flights Up, Castles In The Air, Orphans of Wealth, Magdalane Lane, And I Love Her So. All as good as anything on A.P which is a great album as well.

An equal to Moseley Shoals IMHO. One from the modern has some decent tracks on it as well.
