Bands with 3 or more perfect albums

[studog]

I'm sure Tom petty has 3

:rockin:

One of the musical genius of 21st century

 

[studog]

some you guys are missing:

Minor Threat
Joy Division
Buzzcocks
New Order
Modest Mouse (but maybe not a perfect album, always 1-2 wack songs)

Did mention Joy Division. Personal rediscover of them listening to Rolling’s Sunday shows. He’s a big fan of them. They pioneered new wave, punk, and “emo” genres. Pretty impressive talents

 

[Leaverite]

TP was golden.

On his own and with the travelling willburys.

You Don't Have to Live like a Refugee...

 

[studog]

Digable Planets - Blowout Comb

Underrated album cause Reachin was so groundbreaking. Both need to be remastered badly

I'm sure Tom petty has 3

:rockin:

IMO, Tom Petty and Dave Grohl would or could or should have collaborated well for a full blown album full of great songs.

 

[Leaverite]

Always liked The Cars.

Maybe a 2 album perfect.

 

[studog]

Personal favorite: The National
Great driving music when you’re out in wide open roads

 

[studog]

Tito Puente

 

[studog]

Prince

Stevie Ray Vaughan :rockin:

 

[Leaverite]

Ted Nugent

His first album ripped.

Free For All.

Cat Scratch Fever.


First time I laid eyes on him was at Day on The Green 3. Oakland colliseum

Since at the Catalyst.

The anti hippy.

 

[studog]

John Lee Hooker
BB King
Booker T & the MG’s (MG’s since they were the house band for Stax)
Isaac Hayes
Elvis

Digable Planets - Blowout Comb

Underrated album cause Reachin was so groundbreaking. Both need to be remastered badly

I'm usually against the compression wars but both of those albums are so quite and weak sounding compared to even their contemporary stuff. And they're so good

 

[afoaf]

blowout comb has a lot of nuance to it

it's a good headphone album

are you guys listening to Shabazz Palaces?

 

[Billy Ocean]

Not super into them, but the Byrds had a string of very consistent albums

 

[Autoprax]

Tom Petty

Some of the later stuff was not super strong--even those records had great songs--but I think that was Petty trying to stretch out and not do what he did best, which was the rock anthem.

 

[mahoa]

I’ve got a 90s bias.

Beck: The Information, Guero, Odelay
Beastie Boys: check your head, Ill communication, insound/way out, licensed to ill, paul’s B
Ben Harper: both sides of the gun, diamonds on the inside, fight for your mind

honorable mentions
Alice In Chains: unplugged
Galactic: we love em tonight
Eric Clapton: from the cradle
John Scofield: a go go
Jurassic 5: quality control
Phish: Darien Lake 9/14/2000
Blind Melon: blind melon, soup

 

[pagey]

If we aren't mentioning Beatles, I will go with Steely Dan:
Can't Buy a Thrill
Countdown to Ecstasy
Pretzel Logic
Katy Lied
The Royal Scam
Aja

 

[KevO]

little more modern:

brand new
propagandhi
the Lawrence arms

 

[jkb]

A couple more perfect albums:

Stone Temple Pilots - Number 4 - when Scott Wieland stopped sounding like a '90s grunge puppet and actually used his own voice. Also, every song is fantastic.

Beck - Morning Phase - brilliant from beginning to end.

Bands with 3:

Muse - Absolution, Black Holes and Revelations, The Resistance

Pinback - Self-titled, Blue Screen Life, Summer in Abaddon

Tenacious D: Self-titled, The Pick of Destiny, Rize of the Fenix

Tool: Undertow, Aenima, Lateralus
