Nope  They have 'Squeeze'
Which, really, should just be deleted from the world.  |
Haha...forgot About "squeeze".
No Cale and no Lou... I like to pretend that it wasnt the VU who did that. But technically your right. |
but
squeeze isn't a real VU album.

I don't know if it was already mentioned, but LCD Soundsystem, only 3 records, but absolutely flawless don't you agree?

My bloody valentine, nick drake, nirvana, velvet underground, stooges, and joy division all come to mind with those strange/short but brilliant careers that left behind immaculate albums. Booooringgg... Zzzzz.... To me a great catalogue comes with arches of wild success and miserable failures.
But when I think musical catalogues semantically at least, I think of cold hard song lists. Even though the fab four had a few minor misteps, looking at their catalogue of songs, like alphabetically or something, is pretty unreal. The standard classic rock bands Floyd, Queen, Zep, Who, Stones, etc all have those thrilling lists of hit after hit.
Either way, like I said, I really value a nice career arc with some peaks and valleys, Reed, Bowie, Waits, Beefheart, Pop, Zappa, Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins, Springsteen, Kate Bush, and particularly Pink Floyd all really impress me with what they encompassed.
Everyone obviously fails though when compared to the epic sprawl of greatness that is the career of KISS

If you start the official Animal Collective canon at Here Comes the Indian (and if you enjoyed Here Comes the Indian of course...), you have a pretty good case.

Unfortunately it is... They may not have had the key members but they went by The velvet underground when it was made.

Not sure if I might have already said this on this thread, but if the latest Shins album being released in a couple weeks is anywhere near as good as the first 3, they will have a perfect catalogue of 4 albums so far in my opinion. And a couple killer b sides as well.
