Sex Pistols. 1 album and 1 bootleg. Still snarling after all these years. |
|
The Bubble Puppy, remember the song; "Hot smoke and sasafrass" |
Little Village
Con Brio
Blind Faith |
The Youngbloods (one word) were around for a number of years. Remember Darkness, Darkness? Sunlight?, Both were big FM radio hits in 1969 from Elephant Mountain, a truly terrific album. |
Have 'The Young Bloods' been mentioned yet? Remember Get Together? |

Traveling Wilburys - With Roy Orbison before he died. |
|

The Blues Project.

Guns and Roses (for best of 80's rock band and in the original "Appetite for Destruction" member line up). |
If four records counts as short lived, of course, I'm with Msarty, and the great
Uncle Tupelo
I'd add
Nadine
three records, with their first, "Downtown Saturday," an alt country classic.
Also in the vicinity, with 3 or 4 records,
is
Whiskeytown
another alt country classic. Never bought into Ryan Adams after he left the band. Maybe Caitlin Cary was the driving force.

Audience. House on the Hill was a classic album. |

The Zombies or The Fugs. By the way, was watching a rerun of the Johnny Cash show the other day - Derek and the Dominos was one of the guests- and they did a tune with Carl Perkins , Johnny Cash, and Eric Clapton playing side by side. |
Crack the Sky, Dreams, UK.--Mrmitch |
Yeah, they're not deep or philosophical, but they put out some of the best pop rock I've heard. |
The Retards (New York City circa 1988) |
Not vying for "Best" how about just "Some" short lived bands..............Beck Bogert & Appice, Dixie Dregs, Masters of Reality, Baker-Gurvitz Army, U.K. ,Sea Level,Charlie
I had fun going thru my collection. |
not a band but, Jeff Buckley |

Alice in chains... No doubt they lingered for about 7 years, with no real backing concert tours, and a few albums, but they were never really a band due to many obstacles, and still accomplished a lot of great music . And they were the first to really hit the scene from the "Grundge" capital, not nirvana. |
stormtroopers of death! (did more for metal with one record than megadeth ever did)
sex pistols
derek & dominos
buffalo springfield
original lineup of the pretenders; after that, they were just pretending. |
Sex Pistols - one record really...HUGE impact and one of the best rock records ever made... |
Look through the thread and you will see remnants of them scattered throughout. They were the original spawn of so much music. |
I cast my vote for the post-punk 1987 ensemble 'The Pizza Shitz' |
Worth mentioning, I thought...
Rockpile |
The original Paul Butterfield Blues Band. First and only time everyone in the Filmore was up dancing. |
Blind Faith. For sure. Absolutely. Not even close. "Do What You Like" is worth the price of admission on it's own. Ginger Baker's solo is BY FAR the best rock solo of that era...probably of all time. And don't go all Neil Pert on me. |
Buffalo Springfield maybe? The spring board for CSN&Y and Poco. Maybe not the best short lived band but they were certainly a very influential band from the folk/rock fusion genre of the mid 60's. |
Legion of Mary - so intense in concert. Wish I could remember more of it ;-)
Bobby and the Midnights
Gentle Giant
Robin Trower
Tommy Bolin |
Dreams So Real. The other band from Athens, GA. |
|
Matching Mole, Henry Cow, Hatfield and North, Tuxedo Moon, Egg, Art Bears, Soft Machine, Japan |
|

Splodgenessabounds, oi oi! |
faces with stewart
hard to argue with blind faith... |
