not true for radiohead and yo la tengo but true for most bands.

Yeah, but Siegbran you were saying "Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk" was a poor effort. I'd say this is utter snobbery ;-)

the boo radleys - are a bizarre case; giant steps was their pinnacle of experimental genius. they followed with a pop album. then they went all screwy trying to be progressive and pop and by the time they solved their identity crisis - nobody cared adn they broke up - leaving martin carr to be the tuneless dirge that is brave captain.

I've got good reasons for that!!! (vocals, mix, drumming). Real snobs prefer the demo & EP anyway.

Yeah,like this thread is going anywhere...

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..)
