Mr. Bungle's Disco Volante. The other two are Thumbs Down.
 
Murple's Io Sono Murple is great as well.

The Canterbury band Khan only made an album, called "Space Shanty", before calling it a day. I haven't heard the whole album, but what I heard was pretty remarkable.

Titus Groan made only one album - and it's a must for anyone interested in tracing the roots for prog-metal. Fuzzy Duck's one and only album (which is labeled at this site as art rock) is also worth listening. Outside prog, Bakerloo's album is a fantastic piece of late 60s blues-rock.

It's killer. In fact, going out on a limb, I think I'd call it the best Canterbury album of all.

I remember reading about it a lot back in the day when it was a raaaa-are vinyl album and it was changing hands for hundreds of dollars, so when I stumbled on the CD rerelease a few years ago, I was fully prepared for it to be horribly overrated on account of its obscurity. So, my expectations weren't all that high, but I was blown away. It may well be among my personal top 50 of all time.

King's X - 'Gretchen Goes To Nebraska'
 
Perhaps a more 'prog-related' band, but in my book this was their only great album and the only one I really listen to.

Both. I meant bands with only one good album regardless they did anything besides it or not.

Yep Yep this is a great album. Fans of Steve Hillage; hell fans of prog in general need to seek this out. Its worth it.
 
My vote for One Amazing Album--------------
