That's just like your opinion man. WE have vastly different tastes in music and views on the world so im not gonna argue this with you.

I actually threw Hootenanny in the trash, or I'd have done a Mats list

Your hatred of Hootenanny makes me doubt your Mats' fandom. That album is almost a perfect distillation of the Replacements. As for the list, I'd say their best album run includes Sorry Ma and not Don't Tell a Soul. No album that does not feature Bob Stinson on guitar is truly a Mats album... sorry, Slim. Bob was the soul of the Mats.

I'm uncomfortable with best album lists that include EP's, so no on Chronic Town for REM or Come On Pilgrim for the Pixies. Or Stink for the Mats. Though I agree that all are awesome.

Well, it is a music discussion board.

Though I'm opposed to any RHCP best of list that cuts off Mother's Milk, by far their best album (not to mention Uplift Mofo Party Plan, another classic record).

I'm a big fan of everything up to and including Green. I like the album cuts on Document a lot more than the The One I Love and End of the World.

You could probably throw Dead Letter Office in there as a replacement for Document, though.

Bonus points that this is pretty much the entire run of each band. Burn bright and fast.
Using this criteria, the Police deserve consideration.

It's freaking awesome. Go listen to it. Like, now. I think it's their best album, aside from Twin Cameras.


Will do.

I thought Bossanova was terrible, therefore, interrupting their "5 album run".


I have to strongly disagree with this.

Billy Joel had a pretty good run with each album producing some big hits:

The Stranger (1977)
52nd Street (1978)
Glass Houses (1980)
The Nylon Curtain (1982)
An Innocent Man (1983)

Good looking out for Jazz although I do not like fusion/Jazz. And to sound near blasphemous I am not a huge Miles fan despite his stellar/diverse catalogue.



Not including compilations/retrospectives Charles Mingus:


Mingus Ah Um
Mingus Dynasty
Blues & Roots
Live at Antibes
Mingusx3



Stevie Wonder

Music of My Mind

You can´t speak disparagingly about Bossanova, with Trompe Le Monde in hand. You just can´t. They are at best equivalents, at worst, Bossanova edges out TLM.

I did not see it as a rule, so I included Chronic Town because it's better than Document. As Pen said above, I'd put Dead Letter above Document.

Smashing Pumpkins

Gish
Siamese Dream
Pisces Iscariot
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Adore

You can add Machina if you think Pisces doesn't count. Either way, it's a great list.

I'd extend that at least through Presence for a 7 album run. If I had to limit it to just 5 then I'd drop I & II and add Physical Graffiti and Presence. I know it's sacrilege for a lot of people but I prefer the later, more progressive, Zeppelin.
