View Full Version : Bands With 4+ Albums You Like

I never could really come up with a suitable answer for "who is your favorite band ever?" so I decided to look at it a bit differently: I focused only on the bands/artists that have at least four albums that I really like (excluding Live/Greatest Hits albums). So, here's my list with my top 4.

Beatles (Rubber Soul, Sgt. Peppers, Abbey Road, Let It Be)
Built to Spill (Keep it Like a Secret, There's Nothing Wrong With Love, Perfect from Now On, Ancient Melodies of the Future)
Cruxshadows (Ethernaut, Wishfire, Mystery of the Whisper, Telemetry of a Fallen Angel)
Decemberists (Castaways and Cutouts, Her Majesty...., The Tain EP, Picaresque)
Modest Mouse (Lonesome Crowded West, Moon and Antarctica, Good News..., ...Long Drive...)
Nine Inch Nails (With Teeth, Pretty Hate Machine, Broken, The Downward Spiral)
Pixies (Surfer Rosa, Doolittle, Bossanova, Trompe Le Monde)
R.E.M. (Document, Automatic for the People, Murmur, Green)
Radiohead (The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, Hail to the Thief)
Sleater-Kinney (One Beat, The Woods, Dig Me Out, All Hands on the Bad One)
Spoon (Gimme Fiction, Kill the Moonlight, Girls Can Tell, a Series of Sneaks)
Tori Amos (Little Earthquakes, Scarlet's Walk, Under the Pink, From the Choirgirl Hotel)
Wilco (Summer Teeth, YHF, A Ghost is Born, Being There)

Interesting list for me. If we reduce it to three albums it baloons by including bands that have only made three (Fuel, Coldplay, Ted Leo, Sufjan Stevens) strong albums.

Anyway, the above seems like a very good list of my "favorite bands ever"; it might be better if it was limited to three albums, but, like I said, that makes the list grow too much for it to be feasible.

Decemberists seems like a bit of a cop out, at this point.

Pavement would make the list for me - Brighten the Corners, Slanted and Enchanted, Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain and Wowee Zowee.

Nice post. I'd agree with Beatles, Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, Radiohead, Spoon, and Wilco. I'd change a couple of album choices, but that only speaks to their overall quality.

Morrissey (Viva Hate, Your Arsenal, Vauxhall and I, You are the Quarry)
Oasis (Definitely Maybe, Morning Glory, The Masterplan, Don't Believe the Truth)

Billy Joel [The Stranger, Piano Man, Turnstiles, 52nd Street (Glass Houses and An Innocent Man as runners up)]
Weezer [Weezer, Weezer (Green Album), Pinkerton, Beverly Hills]
Although not nearly as solid all the way through Guster deserves mention [Goldfly, Last and Gone Forever, Keep it Together, Parachute]


If you made it only three then I would definitly include
Sufjan
Third Eye Blind
Relient K

In alphabetical order:

Ani Difranco( Little Plastic Castle, Self Titled, Evolve, Dilate )

Beatles ( Abbey Road, Hard Days Night, Sgt. Pepper, Rubber Soul )

Bjork( Vespertine, Post, Homogenic, Debut )

Bob Dylan( Desire, Self Titled, Oh Mercy, Love and Theft )

Pink Floyd( Dark Side, Delicate Sounds of Thunder, the Wall, Saucerful of Secrets )

Queen( Jazz, A Day at the races, A kind of Magic, Sheer Heart Attack )

Red Hot Chilli Peppers( Blood Sugar Sex Magic, By the Way, Californiacation, One Hot Minute )

REM( Automatic for the people, murmer, reveal, out of time )

The Doors( The Doors, The Soft Parade, Stange Days, L.A Woman )

There are alot of bands that I really like that I don't have 4 albums from. (Bruce Dickinson, Steve Miller, John Frusciante, White Stripes) Either because they never realeased that many or because I'm too lazy to get them. There are also some bands (Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest) that I could easily name 4 albums that I used to love by them, but I'm not longer a big fan of.

They have an EP (Treble in Trouble) and the band Chisel had Ted Leo and possibly some of the other band members, I dunno. With Ted Leo, for example, I feel Hearts of Oak is clearly inferior to Tyranny of Distance and Shake the Sheets, but it suffers only by comparison to other Ted Leo albums, it still whomps most albums and deserves to count. I know that's not hte point here but I'm talking out loud.

Agreed but since TCATS, One by One and In Your Hono(u)r are easily the three best albums, I would have them in there with the other two scrapping for 4th.

great band, know the drummer so i used to go to alot of their shows, they rock live.

also, i can't believe it took so long for someone to mention led zepplin, and how has no one stood up for pink floyd, bob marley, sublime, the rolling stones, or bad religion?

come on people.

edit: ok, so floyd and the stones were mentioned. but i can't believe no one else gave it up for marley, sublime and bad religion.
although seeing as i forgot to include dylan, paul simon, and van morrison i guess i can see how you can blank during crunch time.

also, lets give some props to tupac, and wu-tang clan.

Pretty interesting way of looking at it. Let's see.

-Autechre (Amber, Confield, Tri Repeatae++, Incunabula)
-Beatles (Abbey Road, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Rubbel Soul, Revolver)
-Flaming Lips (Soft Bulletin, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Transmissions from the Satellite Heart, Clouds Taste Metallic)
-Led Zeppelin (III, IV, Physical Graffiti, Houses of the Holy)
-Microphones (It Was Hot We Stayed in the Water, Glow pt 2, Mt Eerie, Don't Wake Me Up)
-Pearl Jam (Vitalogy, No Code, Yield, Binaural)
-Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall)
-Radiohead (The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac)
-Sonic Youth (Dirty, Murray Street, Washing Machine, Daydream Nation)
-Squarepusher (Feed Me Weird Things, Go Plastic, Hard Normal Daddy, Music is Rotted One Note)
-U2 (Boy, October, War, Joshua Tree)

I think that should do it.
