a. Artists where you think one album is their best but enjoy listening to another album more
Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but if you enjoy listening to one set of music more compared to another set, why doesn't the set that gets more attention have the sticker on it that says "the best from this artist"?
God bless you always!!!

P.S. Are you trying to love everything else just as much as whatever is the best which is why you give everything else the attention that you give it, because if that is what you are doing, I can most definitely understand that completely. 😄😄😄 _________________ Me & my favorite singer James Otto

^If an artist has a happy album and a gloomy album, I might enjoy listening to the happy album more frequently even if I think the gloomy album is better, to give one example. Not a dumb question!
And to answer your P.S. question, I don't listen to certain albums more to try to like them more. My m.o. is to let my taste develop, instead of trying to develop it.

I just listened to this for the first time and I think it might be his best album. #7 on BEA?!?
Nick Drake: Bryter Layter over Pink Moon.
Lou Reed: Berlin over Transformer as others have said.
Led Zep: 3 over 4 (but I guess it has to do with overplaying)
Jethro Tull: Stand up over Aqualung or TAAB
The Doors: Strange days over s/t (despite The End, wich I think is their higuest achieve)
Beatles: Rubber soul is the only one that has been latest years in my car, over AR or Rev or SP
King Crimson: Red over ITCOTCK
Kate Bush: Never for ever over Hounds of love
Bruce Springsteen: Nebraska over Born to run

Thank you for writing back. You are most definitely right about listening to a happy album more compared to a sad one.
God bless you always!!!

Most people disagree, but I prefer Ferment over Chrome. The former somehow manages to be an excellent grunge and an excellent shoegaze album, and it has more standout tracks, while the latter has more of a plain rock sound.

Sun Ship is better than A Love Supreme by a longshot.
Stand's better than There's a Riot Goin' On. The latter's just too long and not psychedelic enough.
American Idiot's better than Dookie.
Give me Electric Ladyland over Are You Experienced anytime. Electric Ladyland is the most guitar driven album I'm familiar with, and it's incredible how the other members of the band are able to keep up with Jimi.
In Utero over Nevermind. I like the polished sound and all, but In Utero is essentially the 90's TVU&N. _________________ Do it yourself and let me play my music: https://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?c=61802
Agree with the stance that Blood on the Tracks and Blonde on Blonde are better than Highway 61 which has been mentioned multiple times in this thread.
Also agree that In Utero is better than Nevermind, though both are solid.
This Is Happening is a lot better than Sound of Silver.
"Heroes,"Low, Station to Station and Blackstar are all better than Hunky Dory and especially Ziggy Stardust.
Agree with the earlier mention of The Queen is Dead not being the Smiths' best album, but a hard disagree with it being Strangeways, which I don't think is really any good, easily their worst. Meat is Murder is their best, imo.
Vespertine is a lot better than Homogenic.
The Beatles don't really have a single consensus best album, usually it comes down to Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper or Revolver. I'm on side Revolver, though the Abbey Road medley may be the best thing they've done. The first half of that album just drags it down. Sgt. Pepper is not good.
Twin Fantasy, the original, is better than Teens of Denial or its rerecording.
Currents is better than Lonerism. Neither are very good, but at least the former has Let It Happen.
Pure Comedy is better than Honeybear. Both are great, but the former is one of the 5 best albums of the 2010s. Maybe top 3.
They're close, but I think I've grown to appreciate Wish You Were Here more than Dark Side of the Moon, though I don't love either. Animals is not good.
Sticky Fingers is so, so, so much better than Let It Bleed. It's like night and day. Jesus, I don't know how the latter has so many fans.
Led Zeppelin is better than IV.
They're both close in acclaim, but I'll throw out there that there's a huge difference in quality between Slanted and Enchanted and Crooked Rain, in the former's favor.
I think that's it for now.

Haha, Meat is Murder is easily their worst for me, and that's even considering the version with How Soon is Now.

But I'll agree that the love Let It Bleed gets is baffling. I'll take Exile On Main Street over Sticky Fingers, but the latter is still clearly ahead of Let It Bleed. Not really sure what the consensus best Stones album is. _________________ And it's hard to be a human being. And it's harder as anything else.

I would agree with this edit. They never made a bad album, but self-titled is their peak.
