Weekend Rock List: One Album Wonders

When we heard Wolfmother split up after a lone album together, we pondered other bands that released a great debut before calling it a day (Andrew Stockdale says his Aussie band will carry on, however). Whether they were a one-off supergroup or just a bunch of folks who couldn’t get along, tell us your favorite One Album Wonders and we’ll tally the votes. Here are some picks: • Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols • The La’s - The La’s • Temple of the Dog - Temple of the Dog • The Vaselines - The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History • Blind Faith - Blind Faith

Readers’ Rock List: Animal Bands

Rock Daily is amped to be hitting the SXSW festival later this week, where we’ll surely be encountering dozens of bands named after animals. So we dedicated the Weekend Rock List to all the Animal Bands that looked to wildlife for inspiration. To avoid a landslide, bugs — and thus the Beatles — were banned. With the Fab Four out, our readers voted Animal Collective as the king of the rock jungle, thanks to their new Merriweather Post Pavilion. The Collective edged out Eagles, Animals and many more furry and feathered bands. To see if your favorite Animal Band made it, check the Readers’ List below: 1. Animal Collective 2. Eagles 3. The Animals 4. Fleet Foxes 5. Grizzly Bear 6. Modest Mouse 7. Super Furry Animals 8. Cat Power 9. Panda Bear 10. Wolfmother 11. The Monkees 12. Def Leppard 13. Steppenwolf 14. Wolf Parade 15. Phish 16. The Byrds 17. Gorillaz 18. The Turtles 19. The Yardbirds 20. Dr. Dog
