More than one great album

[TheHowieLama]

 How many artists produce more than one (widely accepted) great album in their careers? 

 

Artists --  great album -- widely accepted...

 

One of these things is not ike the others

One of these things just doesn't belong

[Josef Svejk]

God, there are some bog-standard bands listed on this thread.

 

Here's a band that was immense and immensely productive for three years and six albums running:

I love The Wu, but I'm not absolutely convinced they have ever made an album to match Enter the 36 Chambers unless you count the solo LPs and that feels a bit like cheating.

[PestiRed]

KLF - Chill Out & White Room

Libertines - Up the Bracket & Libertines

Nirvana - Nevermind & In Utero

[lifetime fan]

No mention of Neil Young or Tina Turner?

[Bjornebye]

Oasis - Definately Maybe and What's the Story

 

2 Pac - All eyez on me and Me against the World

[Bjornebye]

KLF - Chill Out & White Room

Libertines - Up the Bracket & Libertines

Nirvana - Nevermind & In Utero

Libertines is a great shout

[lifetime fan]

My list would be pretty much already covered;

 

Cash

Elvis

Beatles

Stones

The Who

The Jam

Paul Weller

Oasis

Massive Attack

Springsteen

Rod Stewart

[PestiRed]

Can I have the Gorillaz for their first two albums? Both great and critically acclaimed but is it a band or a loose collective of guest appearances with Damon Albarn pulling it all together?

[The Golden Eel]

Brian Eno

[AngryOfTuebrook]

The Clash - The Clash, Give 'em Enough Rope and London Calling.

Bjork - Vespertine, Volta, Medulla, Post, Debut, Biophilia... pick two.

Rancid - 'and out come the wolves. Life Won't Wait. Okay, bit self-indulgent that one.

Johnny Cash - The American series alone.

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Let Love In, No More Shall We Part, Dig, Lazarus, Dig.

Leonard Cohen - The Future, Songs of Love and Hate

Billy Bragg - Life's a Riot, William Bloke.

I pick Homogenic.

 

(Spot on about Laughin' Lenny)

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Simon and Garfunkel - Sounds of Silence and Bridge Over Troubled Water

 

Paul Simon - There Goes Rhymin' Simon and Graceland

[Jose Jones]

Oh my.

The first half of Ill Communication has some all time classics on it, but I reckon Paul's Boutique and Check your head are both better whole albums. The production/sampling on Paul's Boutique is obviously seminal industry changing work too.

[Jose Jones]

Am I allowed Deerhunter?

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Faith No More - Tore Rock/Metal a new arsehole with 'The Real Thing' and gained massive cross-over and mainstream appeal to boot. Then followed up with an even better album in 'Angel Dust' which despite lacking TRT's sales has eclipsed it as a landmark rock/ metal album and mainstream 'cult' classic..

Aye.

[magicrat]

My list would be pretty much already covered;

 

Cash

Elvis

Beatles

Stones

The Who

The Jam

Paul Weller

Oasis

Massive Attack

Springsteen

Rod Stewart

 

I think Dylan might just about edge out Rod Stewart but not a bad shout mate

[Total Longo]

Underworld's Dubnobasswithmyheadman and Second Toughest in the Infants are fantastic albums and both often referred to in greatest dance/electronica albums

[Bjornebye]

The Prodigy. Made a good few decent albums them to be fair. Would be a better thread if you said 3 great albums.

Can't believe I missed him out.

[TheHowieLama]

I love The Wu, but I'm not absolutely convinced they have ever made an album to match Enter the 36 Chambers unless you count the solo LPs and that feels a bit like cheating.
