Classic albums where you actually preferred the follow-up album more

Hmmm. It's close, but I think I prefer Radiohead's Amnesiac to Kid A. I see Kid A on a lot of "greatest albums of all time" lists, but I think Amnesiac (which was made up of b-sides and outtakes that didn't make it onto Kid A in the first place) is the far superior collection of songs.

To me, Kid A was kind of like Radiohead saying, "Hey, look how weird we've gotten!", and Amnesiac was them saying, "All right, now look at how great an album we can make with that weirdness."

STP, Purple > Core

Dark Side of the Moon.

Love them both, but I prefer Wish You Were Here.

I get that DSOTM is the sort of intro into Floyd, but WYWH is just so much better. Shine On You Crazy Diamond is perfection. 5 songs, all great.

I prefer In Utero to Nevermind.

Though I guess most people would say In Utero was a better album sonically, lyrically, etc. but didn't have the cultural impact as Nevermind.


Also, I like Evil Empire better than RATM (assuming the latter qualifies as a classic album).

...And Justice for All to Master of Puppets...Harvester of Sorrow is my GOAT Metallica song

Dsotm, Wywh, animals, meddle > the wall

No shite

Prefer Faith No More's Angel Dust to The Real Thing

Darkness On The Edge Of Town > Born To Run

X Wild Gift (which was stuff the left off first album) > Los Angeles

Pixies Doolittle > Surfer Rosa (although both albums get a lot of acclaim)

Judas Priest Point Of Entry > British Steel.
