whats the best band with more than 20 studio albums?

Androol · 02.03.2007, 04:15 AM

i mean id like to avoid a slew of solo artists but include them if you must. i mostly just want to avoid a bunch of solo jazz responses like coltrane, davis, sun ra, etc.

1.sonic youth
2.melvins
3.ruins

pretty close call

The Fall win for me, but I reckon if you include the various Otomo Yoshihide groups and all of Keiji Haino's groups they would also win. Difficult.

sun ra had the arkestra that doesn't really count as solo

i vote for haino.

Androol · 02.03.2007, 06:52 AM

hmm fair enough. i have to admit i know next to nothing about sun ra.

Daniel Johnston must have over 20 albums by now, right? If so I'd go for him and SY.

the fall

have sonic youth really made so many albums? but if you say so... acid mothers temple probably too.

habibtheantiamericanbitch · 02.03.2007, 06:41 PM

SY having 20+ 'FULL-LENGTH STUDIO' albums???? not yet. counting the SY e.p. and Ciccone, that's 16. you might include syr4 which is certainly full length and studio..... if you count the many other e.p.'s, live releases, and comps we're past 50......

Savage Clone · 02.03.2007, 06:48 PM

I would have a hard time choosing between Nurse With Wound or the Legendary Pink Dots.

Hawkwind and Gong would have been strong contenders, but they both had diminishing returns and increasing levels of cartoonish cheese factor as time went on. NWW and LPD remain consistently interesting for the most part.

lmfao my friends right here and he said jad fair actually left the house eventually to go see goonies at the alamo theater but daniel was apparently under strict orders not to leave the house. my friend, chad hopper, said it was easy though because all he had to do was talk about the beatles. they also watched part of the legend of billy jean.
