Name A Band That...

[Shortcut To Moncton]

Name a band that has one album that is easily, easily sticks out as their best album--it's not even funny nor worth comparing to their other albums.

 

I have to go with Sonic Youth's "Daydream Nation". The other albums ARE great but this was in a different territory in terms of music.

Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bullocks

[Hyphnip]

I'll Say White Zombie- Astro Creep 2000

other White Zombie stuff was good, but not THIS good. we could even toss in Rob's solo stuff and it doesn't compare.

[Ryan44]

Five Days in July - Blue Rodeo.

this one has the most hits, and the most fun. its got a wide spectrum of feelings. from deep sincere love and, one night stands, to super fun, like sitting around a fire,with friends drinking.

agreed. and i know this answer might not be popular, but i'm gonna say lateralus by tool. i think tool play some awesome stuff, and every tool album has wicked songs on it, but this is the only one i will listen to from beginning to end without skipping tracks i don't care for, like that 'devilled eggs' one on aenema, and similar 'look how creative i am' tracks.

Our Lady Peace - Clumsy

Deftones - White Pony

Garbage - Version 2.0

Silverchair - Neon Ballroom

 

Sure, those bands have other good albums with good songs, but when asked for my favorite, I will not hesitate.

[Some Random]

just skimmed my collection for more: offspring-iginition, buffalo tom-big red letter day, cake-fashion nugget, deftones-around the fur, slipknot- vol. 3 (the subliminal verses), stone temple pilots-purple.

Our Lady Peace - Clumsy

that didnt even cross my mind. but holy crap yes. its leaps and bounds better

[saturnine]

foo fighters - colour and shape. it's ridiculous how much the foo fighters suck with the exception being this album.

self titled > you

many things > me

[Shiri]

I agree with The Colour And The Shape being the best Foo Fighters album, no doubt about it.

[sodamntired]

Color And Shape is ridiculously awesome, and so much better than anything they have come out with since.

[soundless_space]

Our Lady Peace - Clumsy

Agreed.

 

But small rant: you know what I hate? When OLP comes up in conversation, and the person goes "Ooooh, I love OLP!" and I'll say, "Really, what's your favourite song off of Clumsy?" "Clumsy? Which album was that..." because all people know of OLP (generally outside of Canada) is everything after Spiritual Machines.

 

Okay, I'm done.

[Hyphnip]

thats like a guy at my work that said "I love Metallica!" and I said "really? what was your favorite album?" and he said "well, St. Anger was awesome, and Load and Re-Load, I haven't heard the others"

[Shiri]

That's just wrong!

[Ryan44]

st. anger made me wanna eat my own vomit. i hated them for doing that. they even apologized for how bad it sucked.

I'm assuming you haven't heard Murray Street?

Rage Against the Machine - Evil Empire

Murray Street is great but it's way, way too damn short. Karen Revisited is excellent though but the rest of the album isn't even freaking close to Daydream Nation.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

alexisonfire 1st album

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

I would agree that the Colour and the Shape is easily the best. The rest seem so much more like a compromised pop-rock Dave Grohl to me.

 

I'd also like to say Pinkerton by Weezer. It's the only album of theirs I wouldn't have liked as a ten year old.

Just to be an asshole: Radiohead - OK Computer

[dancing_invisible]

Suede - Singles

 

Everything else just.... Singles is all you need of that band, at least, all I need.
