    Red Hot Chili Peppers, apart from 'One Hot Minute'.

    I'd say the have a really consistent discography...but not in a good way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,383 ✭✭✭S.M.B.


    Joanna Newsom

    3 albums, 5 discs of material, all immense

    The early EPs are also excellent listening although most of it ends up on TMEM

    I think One Hot Minute is one of their best, at least one of my faves anyways..
    I suppose it doesn't sound like RHCP really but it's a damn good album...

    GY!BE is all awesome.

    Smashing Pumpkins mostly have good albums.
    Totally agree. Every Pumpkins album is different but has it's own strengths.

    Same for The Cure.
    Hmmm not quite. Although i am a huge Cure fan, they still released a few sub-par albums during their career. The only Cure albums that i struggle to listen to from start to finish are The Top, Bloodflowers and 4:13 Dream.

    Why at least one of these bands haven't been mentioned boggles me.

    Guided By Voices

    As much as I love them, they've written over 1,000 songs..I see this being mathematically impossible.

    Have Pearl Jam released a bad album in 20 years?

    Self titled/Avocado wasn't great. Hate it in fact but other than that they've dont something different, challenging and quite brilliant every time.

    Vitalogy, for the win!

    There's a list i can agree with.

    Rufus Wainwright's albums from first to last are consistently briliant, with the two big peaks of Poses and Want One being the high points. He doesn't know how to make a wrong move in songwriting.

    Bruce Springsten has been fairly consistent, few blips in the 80s but overall he's got a great body of work.

    The Frames have a serious canon. First ne was very adolescent but on from there it's quality. For The Birds especially.

    dEUS are great all the way through! in a bar under the sea should be regarded as a classic.

    Because Era Vulgaris is sh*t and so are Muse.

    Me too, I think its one of their best - Stadium Arcadium being their weakest

    Arcade Fire have 3 superb albums

    i wouldn't call it a **** album, i like a lot of the songs on it.

    better than average.

    better than GY!BE anyway. har har har

    I don't understand how people can say Stadium Arcadium is the Chili's weakest album, given that their first three albums were terrible


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 460 ✭✭KeanSeenan


    I don't understand how people can say Stadium Arcadium is the Chili's weakest album, given that all of their albums were terrible

    I agree with you, bro.

    Red House Painters / Mark Kozelek / Sun Kil Moon.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 133 ✭✭Rds1989


    I would also add bad religion and bruce springsteen to the list


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    Has to be Rush, still managed the 5th biggest selling tour of last year and are about to release their 20th studio album. 14 of the albums have gone platinum, 24 including live albums gold, which puts them only behind The Beatles and The Stones.

    There are some amazing songs on that! Impossible Germany, Side With The Seeds, Shake It Off, Hate It Here, Walken (that coda!! :eek: ), might not be as good an album as some others, but wow, there's so much great stuff on it!

    Of course this is only my opinion but i think the following havent got a bad album between them.

    ACDC
    Kasabian
    The Strokes
    Yeah Yeah Yeahs
    Arctic Monkeys

    Big Strokes fan but First Impressions of Earth was more miss than hit.

    I don't think i can fault any Anthony and The Johnsons albums.
