I can say I think the Beatles are objectively better. My initial reasoning? They're output was spotty (not to mention confusing in terms of releases) until Rubber Soul. Even between their best albums were odd quasi-compilations like Yellow Submarine, Magical Mystery Tour and Hey Jude. Also, I've never been a huge fan of the Beatle's pre-Revolver songs, at least beyond compilations like 1 or 62'-66' R.E.M. on the other hand was fucking solid their entire run at IRS records and with Warner at least until Automatic For The People, though Monster and Adventures in Hi-Fi are good too. That's 8 albums, arguably 10. It was pretty mediocre after that, and while they are understandably unappealing to many, as a fan that's impressive run. In terms of solid Beatles albums, which are among my favorite albums period, it's like 4, maybe 5. For the wealth of the music they put out it's interesting that so much of it was released as singles and comps, they only had a few solid truly full-fledged studio albums. Also like to add: I'm sure Hawkwind would be up there, but can't vouch for their entire discography myself as I haven't listened to it all. The Doors only made 6 before Morrison rode the snake or whatever.

Not every track or every album is good but it is plentiful and prolific and most of it is pretty good. I actually agree with this. Sure, his sound hasn't exactly 'advanced' but the pre-filth period was very good at what it did.

Roo Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds just released their 15th album. Only a couple great ones in there, but they are very consistent and never suck. Nick Cave has also obviously done 2 good Grinderman albums, The Birthday Party albums, and some film scores. Might have been a cover album in there though from memory. But still, in that period he did the screenplays and scores for The Proposition & Lawless, the score for The Road, and appeared in films Wings of Desire & Ghosts...of the civil dead. Busy legend.

khov Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Yeah i was thinking about that, after 20 years, most artists/band dont release records like Oversteps or Exai. Well most bands/artists are NOT Autechre... Brian Eno had a few very good records during the 90s/2000s (Neroli, Lightness) but obviously nothing that could beat Before & after science or Music for airports. Mika Vainio has some pretty good music released recently, perhaps not as strong as Pan sonic, but still great. Philip Jeck (he's 60 i think) has never sound so good, his recent live sets (He's mostly a "live" artist) are among his best stuff.

Overand Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) I'll second Tom Waits and Nick Cave. Also, Miles fucking Davis. Actually, Miles Davis is a pretty good comparison to Autechre in a lot of ways. They both started out fairly conventionally and branched into their own brand of abstraction and improvisation.

Throw in the SYR discs, the EPs, the soundtrack work, the countless collabs/side projects etc and you have a discography that few can fuck with.
