I always though the best name for a band with only one album would be 'Various Artists' with 'Greatest Hits' for the album name.

They probably exist, I just don't think I can ask a search engine to find them.

In 1997 Torsten Pröfrock released a highly sought-after dub techno album on the legendary Chain Reaction label under the name "Various Artists". It's a quintessential record in the Basic Channel genre. You can listen it here: https://youtu.be/3165Sf-q8dY

I've seen a band called Special Guests.

"The The" was a pretty notable band in the 80s/90s.

There used to be a local Sydney band called "Free Beer", so the posters for all their support slot gigs would say "$HeadlineAct with Free Beer".
