Artists ruined by their hits

>>73169298
my housemate fucking LOVES this album.

>>73169298
what scares me about making a hit is that i´ll have to play it in every fucking set till the end of times

Your housemate has good fucking taste. But it's like only fans of the band can look at their good stuff through their "edgy pop rock" exterior.

Blue Oyster Cult is fuckin' god-tier, but its a damn shame they're only known for three songs.

>Cities aflame with rock n roll
That stuff is killer. Also Motorhead were kinda "ruined" by ace of spades, in the sense that a lot of people only know that song

This actually my favourite BÖC album. I agree that it is terribly underrated.

Kendrick Lamar, David Bowie, Talking Heads, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Pink Floyd, Talk Talks, Beach Boys, Swans, Earl Sweatshirt, the list goes on

OP here. It seems like not too many people know about the existence of Heaven Forbid. It seems like Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma's attempt at a solo album post-BÖC. Still a great album though

don't worry you'll never make a hit so it's okay

The Clash. the Kinks.

To be fair I think T&M and the other early albums are roughly as popular today as they were before the Reaper. If anything the hits probably got more people to investigate the other albums, like myself as a teenager.
