REM wins the best 10 album run by any band, though

I beg to differ. I think this run...

Prince - Dirty Mind - Controversy - 1999 - Purple Rain - Around the World in a Day - Parade - Sign "O" the Times - The Black Album - Lovesexy

might be better.

That's not a knock on REM's though.

I'd even say 11 album run!

I love Princes singles but the deep cuts don't tend to stay with me. Erotic City and Shockidelica excepted.

I think the deep cuts are the best part of that run. PartyUp, When You Were Mine, The Beautiful Ones, Darling Nikki, Sometimes it Snows in April, Christopher Tracy's Parade, Anna Stesia, I Wish U Heaven, Strange Relationship, Adore, Eye No, Forever in My Life, The Ballad of Dorothy Parker, Something In The Water (Does Not Compute), Sexuality, Jack U Off, I Feel For You, Head not to mention b-sides like the aforementioned Erotic City & Shockadelica, as well as 17 Days, How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore, She's Always In My Hair, & Another Lonely Christmas. And he wrote Manic Monday for the Bangles, Jungle Love & The Bird for the Time, and Nothing Compares 2 U for Madhouse (obviously later mastered by Sinead O'Connor) in that same period. Dear God was that man on fire from 1979-1988.

Bad Religion
Suffer, No Control, Against the Grain

Shit, they're all basically the same album.

Am I the only one on the Wilco Trip?


Summerteeth --> A Ghost is Born

I'm not currently on the trip but those 3 records are fucking great. And I'm a staunch AGIB defender of being just as quality as the two that came before.

Well, sure, if we're not counting Tom Waits or the Beatles or Pink Floyd or Neil Young or Pearl Jam, then, yeah. Totally.

Jungle Love is perfect. I dig the song Love Bizarre he did for Shiela E too.

Man, I can't believe I forgot A Love Bizarre. He did The Glamorous Life for her as well.

This was an unexpected post.

Wilco's Being There is a must over AGIB. Being There Summerteeth and YHF is the run.

I fucking love all 4...I think Being There & AGIB are my favorites at times. Then I listen to ST & YHF and feel like I'm stupid to think I like the other 2 more.

I like REM, though not anywhere near a huge fan, but I don't think any of these bands have 10 record runs that likely compete with REM's run...though I like all these bands quite a bit more than REM.

Although Neil was on fire at the end of the 1960s and completely owned the 1970s. And Tom Waits has some curious pieces that could or could not be counted...if the theatrical shit is not in then he blows everyone away with his unparalleled consistent brilliance for so fucking long my parents weren't even proficient at reading yet when he started it.
