Good one.

To whoever thought almost every album fit this category, I see your point. I was originally aiming for bands whose second album was their best album, but I sort went away from that when I used Vs. and Southern Harmony as examples. In part, it's because I find second albums are often the most interesting record a band makes. The first one promises greatness. The second one delivers it. The third one sort of treads water. Of course that's not always the case. We had a debut thread a while back and came up with a pretty good list of bands who nailed it the first time out and never did anything quite so good again. Guns N Roses, The Sex Pistols, and (I'd argue) the Ramones are some examples. And then Vitalogy is a great example of a third album that topped the first two. Uh oh, I smell a new thread. Best sixth album. Rubber Soul! Binaural! Purple Rain!

as much as I like that album (The Shrine/An Argument ) I think their first one is better.

lament, I've been through prince a few times. I just need to find time to review, which may not be until after the music tourneys.


I would give a manic street preachers mix a try

I'm on it. I think I could put together a solid 75 minutes worth of songs you'd actually like by them.

Actually, I should make two mixes. One of their best stuff, and one of the stuff you'll probably like.

that 'if you tolerate this' song was my favorite of what's appeared on RM thus far

Yeah, I think I'll make sure the one tailored to your tastes veers more towards the lush and away from the abrasive, since you didn't respond well to their abrasive stuff.

"You Stole the Sun From My Heart (Mogwai Remix)"

No fucking way. Four Minute Mile is a fucking masterpiece. It and JEW's Clarity are the two best "emo" albums ever recorded.

No way - good album, but the first is much better.

You know what. I posted this and immediately had second thoughts.

The David Holmes remix is better.
