whats the best band with more than 20 studio albums? - Page 2

porkmarras · 02.03.2007, 07:13 PM

It would have to be Nurse With Wound for me too as you never know what to expect with them.

porkmarras · 02.03.2007, 07:14 PM

Current 93 would come a close second.

BORE...........

And if they don't have twenty, then count all their closely related offshoots. Then we're talking like 2000 studio albums!

Agreed, and then there's Made in the U.S.A., which did get released by Rhino as a full length album sort of. So we're up to 18, so they don't qualify for the 20 criteria. If they did, I'd say them.

So, I'd have to say Sun Ra and the Arkestra. Forced to pick a "rock" band, I'd go with the Legendary Pink Dots, who are actually putting out stuff now that I find at the top of their game.

syr 1 - 23:00
syr 2 - 28:30
syr 3 - 58:00

Well, SYR 6 is a Live recording, so that doesn't count as studio. But, yeah, SYR 3 is certainly full length, and there's still Made in the U.S.A. to contend with too. The Destroyed Room is a whole 'nother debate, but if they do qualify, they do still remain my favorite band (they do that either way). The Arkestra and LPD remain close 2nd and 3rds.

Androol · 02.04.2007, 03:10 AM

isnt syr 6 new material though? thats what im most concerned about. i just dont want a bunch of bands with all these live albums that are just the Lps rehashed.

i dont know i just consider made in usa a soundtrack but ive only listened to it once or twice. id probably include instrument for fugazi so i guess this one would make sense.

but even without syr6 its still 21

Glice · 02.04.2007, 05:59 AM

I met a chap who was into the LPD once. He was an utter prick. One of the most cuntish cunts I ever had the misfortune of talking to. I've not really investigated them much because of his cuntishness. Perhaps I should? How close are Einsteurzende to having 20? I imagine NNCK or SHOTM are probably beyond 20 now... or are they? NNCK would definitely be my 2nd place to the Fall.

NNCK would be at 20 if you counted live stuff. I think they probably only have 2 or 3 actual 'studio' albums. But only counting studio stuff with NNCK is sort of unfair Because most of the albums are recorded live. Anyway, they're probably at 20 by now...I have 11 or 12 or their records and I have by no means all of them.

King Crimson's only really good albums came out between 1972 and 1974. That's three albums outta 20+.
