Best band never to release a truly great album?


Yeah, I know, another poll, but these are kind of fun and this one may be a little different. Let's limit it to no earlier than the late 60's (when the album began to be more important than the single). What musician/band do you really like, but has never quite put it all together to make that brilliant album you know is in them.

I'll start by nominating Jethro Tull. Lot's of great songs, but I cannot think of a single Tull record I would call an unqualified success.

Yeah, that Beck Bogert Appice album was pretty weak. Would've been much better if it were Beck Bogert Appice and .
Well, to clarify, I definitely meant great on a subjective artistic level. Everyone knows sales figures don't mean jack, general critical opinion only marginally more than jack. So we're really just talking personal opinions here. . .
Well, Clingman, Crest of a Knave certainly has its moments, but the double whammy of "Said She Was A Dancer" and "Budapest" just ruin it for me. Songs From The Wood is a good album, as are Heavy Horses, Aqualung, Stormwatch, and Stand Up, but all fall short of greatness IMHO.
