the stooges - raw power (does the weirdness even fuckin' count?)
pixies - doolittle
the who - quadrophenia (even then, that's a bit of a stretch.)
yyys - fever to tell (well, last full length. they could keep putting out badass eps.)

meh.

His new stuff has had its moments but lets face it, it's probably only gonna go down hill from here.

Actually this should have been the end....

this should be the end:


great fuckin album.

...though it doesn't make up for the three or four attrocious albums before it.

i liked some of load. i liked parts of st. anger. but the rest i could do without in that period, true.

exactly. (although i do enjoy Death Magnetic.)

and the Black Album has some great songs.

Metallica Should Have Ended It After Master Of Puppets...even That Is A Bit Rancid In Places......

Hey man, ...And Justice For All is the Metallica equivalent of adding “in bed” to a fortune-cookie fortune!

Although I disagree, i can completely understand why someone would choose that album. The Fall definitely mutated into a different band after Room to Live. I think that the era directly following it though, from Perverted by Language through to I am, Kurious Orang, is also a real golden one. Since then it's been more individual albums that have stood out rather than whole sequences of them. Those two eras, the pre-Brix era and the Brix one are the real highpoints for me though. The post-Brix years, while always interesting, have been a lot more hit and miss, I think.

The Fall should never have a final album.

the fall will never have a final album

mark e smith sounds more and more like vera lynn with every record he releases, infact i'd call him a cross between vera lynn and paul mckenna because there's no other logical way i can think of that explains why people still think the falll are worthwhile other than because they have been put under some form of mass hypnosis

well that mass hypnosis thing is true for me...... i did actually hate the fall before i went to se tony lemesmo in 1991!!!! he is a fucker...i also now have a strange love for celery and whoring myself on a street corner every christmas eve..............

and how great is it that brix is now being Gok Wans assistant on how not to dress ???!! go girrl! [snap]

i don't know, how great is it?

Don't encourage him. Just leave him be and he'll run out of mitherings in due course.
