In my teens I was really into '60s and '70s counterculture and spent most of my nights looking up music from that era. Among all the lesser-known gems with surprising longevity (e.g. Tractor), there were hundreds - if not thousands - of bands with only one or two albums. A few times I was so fascinated by these short-lived bands that I looked up the musicians and reached out to them on Facebook (in its early days). All of them responded and were surprised and happy to chat about their band. And yeah... they just live "normal" non-musician lives now.
