Artists/Bands You Love Who Haven't Made Best Ever Albums

Mr. Shankly · 2009-08-19T00:33:39-04:00

What artists and bands do you really like that have made good, enjoyable albums, but you don't think have necessarily made a "best ever" classic album? (might not be on your chart, but you still think it's a classic) Here's my list: Neko Case Iron and Wine Jonathan Richman (solo career and second Modern Lovers incarnation) The Buzzcocks Simon and Garfunkel (for me, their compilations were always better than their individual albums) Elliott Smith Built to Spill Calexico The Pretenders Billie Holiday (of course, this was before the album era) Nina Simone Beck (Mutations comes close, but for me, all his albums are hit and miss) The Police Madness Yo La Tengo The Posies The Roots Blackalicious Outkast Steve Earle Fountains of Wayne Modest Mouse (I'm sorry. The Moon and Antarctica is good, but not a classic album to my ears) Death Cab for Cutie Who's on your list?

I listened to Gun Club's Fire of Love today, a great album that isn't best ever material

I find myself always boing back and forth being the only one who has Sigue Sigue Sputnik. Maybe there's a reason to that...

But I know there's some band that shouldn't even be considered on BEA, but they are.

I actually have Sique Sique Sputnik on my new wanted albums list, for christmas maybe.

I know that the Butthole Surfers were really influential to punk bands, including Nirvana, but I would never put one of their albums near a top 20, maybe 100. San Antonio represent (the only good band we've produced)

I agree.

I picked it up 3 weeks ago : entertaining album that found a way of reinventing good old rock n' roll.

I really truly love a few Butthole Surfers albums namely Locust Abortion Technician and Hairway to Steven. I don't see why either of them shouldn't crack a top 50, I got LAB in mine. Definetely not for everybody, but that's why its my top 50, and not everybody's.
