"Their early stuff was better"

Yeah,like this thread is going anywhere...

*pictures massive system in which bands are sorted by which of their albums was their best*

*pictures the "Best album of every artist ever" thread*

*smiles*

Hmm, my intuitive feeling is that most of my favourite artists peaked around the time of their 3rd album, having by that time grown out of their obvious influences and come with something truly their own. When I wanna discover an artist I know very little about, that's usually the album I go for
Obviously, this is very far from being a universal rule (e.g. Ride completely disproves this theory..)

wagner peaked around his third album def

PULP!

obv. Joni destroys all this
