--- Quote from: DynamiteKid on 12 Apr 2010, 07:53 ---Tommy often points out, for example, that the Stones are superior to the Beatles because although the latter made many extraordinary albums, the Stones managed to make four basically perfect albums in a row, which The Beatles never achieved.
--- End quote ---
Actually I prefer The Beatles considerably. There are no genuinely bad Beatles albums. They are just slightly lesser in the context of the other albums.
On topic, I would cite Will Oldham as a good example because I don't think he's ever made a bad record.
Thrillho:
Most of you seem to be getting it, Neil Young is a bad example - he has eight great records, sure. He also has dozens of terrible ones. This is the same reason that Bob Dylan, for example, is not included.
Ptommydski:
Well, look at it this way. I'll agree with you about the Pixies for the sake of argument, which isn't hard considering I genuinely like all of their records. Let's give them the following -
Purple Tape
Surfer Rosa
Doolittle
Bossanova
Trompe Le Monde
Fuck live albums, B-sides and compilations for the time being. That's five solid records back to back right there. Comparatively, The Beatles have eleven by my count (being all of their studio records), Dylan has his first nine records and The Stones have four between 1968-72. If you ask me personally, I'd argue that Lungfish have eleven (all of their studio records), Silkworm have eight (barring the very first one), Fugazi have seven (including 13 Songs). Low have eight, Yo La Tengo have eight. Will Oldham has fifteen by my count though, which I why I mentioned him. He's never made an album I haven't poured over and eventually enjoyed, regardless of which name he is using.
michaelicious:
Which eight Yo La Tengo albums would you pick, Tommy? Also, what do you think about The Wonder Show of the World? I have only listened to it twice but I think it is going to really grow on me.
Contributing: Sleater-Kinney made seven really good albums and five of the best of all time, in this guy's opinion.
