Epic! (if one of the albums you put out in any given year is thriller, you're probably dominating that year no matter what else you or anyone else puts out)

Here's a discography of Sire Records albums. '81, '83, '84 are all great.

I'm sure the Minutemen will win by a wide margin. For me, it's dead even between Meat Puppets II and "Eight Miles High." I want to vote, so I'll go with "Eight Miles High" as the one that had the greater effect on me at the time. I might be wrong, but I think it came out slightly in advance of Zen Arcade; I remember thinking that this was a far as you could possibly take something. And, as I've written elsewhere on this board, that's exactly how it played out for me; I thought a lot of Zen Arcade consisted of them doing stuff that they'd already moved past. And then they got great again with the next two albums, but only because they changed.

Wow that Sire catalog, yeah. I wonder how long I could sustain myself on only the Sire and SST catalogs 1980-1985.
Beggar's Banquet would probably need to be added to the list, no? Maybe Creation? Factory, obv.

xpost Tyler I am shocked!!!
i know the husker and minutemen stuff, but my war is the only Black Flag record from this list I have ... and for some reason I don't have any Meat Puppets!
― tylerw, Friday, 26 March 2010 19:32 (fourteen years ago) link
that's fucked up dude, you'd love up II & especially on the sun

i meant you'd love II & especially upon the sun

up on the sun

i guess i gotta get it. always meant to get around to the meat puppets but never did.
― tylerw, Friday, 26 March 2010 19:45 (fourteen years ago) link
i'd be super-shocked if you didn't like up on the sun
― Brio, Friday, 26 March 2010 19:53 (fourteen years ago) link
We can hip you to highlights of their later records later but yeah just start with II and Up.

am i the only person who doesn't like meat puppets II? just totally doesn't work for me, hate the vocals.
― Slaughter in Robot Village (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Saturday, 27 March 2010 02:48 (fourteen years ago) link
it's not my favorite meat puppets record by any stretch, and now that i think about it i'd rank them: in a car > s/t > up on the sun > II
and i don't know if i've ever heard any of them past that. i guess i should check out huevos sometime?
― ian, Saturday, 27 March 2010 02:54 (fourteen years ago) link
xpost Naw, I just cannot get past those weak vox. Never understood the love at all.

great album, but i love all their 80s stuff bar the 1st one that i just couldnt get into.

Huevos wasn't "weird" enough for some old-school fans but it's pretty awesome zztop style driving boogie rock.
― Brio, Monday, 29 March 2010 19:11 (fourteen years ago) link
oh and yeah i can totally understand the singing being a block to enjoying II but it's all about the wailing axes

Too High to Die is a good intro if you can't get past the vocals on the SST records. Leary did some good knob twiddling on them, and Kirkwood could sing better and its a very strong set of songs.

"Family Man" is my favorite Black Sabbath album!

I mean, the one by Black Flag is pretty good, too, though.
maybe every album will get at least one vote then

Those two doubles are truly twin titans, but I'm gonna give it to II, just because it's the one I most feel like hearing right now. But yeah, everything up there is pretty good-to-great.
I like that label-of-the-year idea - I've always had an affinity for Sire in 1977, Warner/Reprise in '69, and Elektra in '67.
