The Raveonettes
Only just gotten into these, and I wish I had sooner so I could've seen them on tour a few months ago.
They've got quite a big back cataloque considering their first album came out 10 years ago, so which are considered their best albums and are there any too avoid?

I really liked the early EP and the first album.
I saw them a few times live around that time and thought they were awesome and exceptionally loud. The first few albums were recorded under a strict rule that all songs were in the same key and I think they worked well under these restraints - like a Jesus and Mary Chain lite.
But after a while they started to feel a bit samey, and I think that there was a steady decline in quality as the albums passed by. But that's just me - I thought they were great when I first heard them too.
Best album
is probably Lust Lust Lust for me. Seems to capture what they are all about perfectly. All the other albums are a bit hit and miss. The odd pop classic throughout though.....That Great Love Sound, Remember, Love in a Trashcan, Twilight, Last Dance
The Enemy
no, not the shitty band but a recent single called The Enemy is sublime.
I've got a couple of their albums, Chain Gang of Love is quirky because all the songs are in B flat with various other rules.
Love Can Destroy Everything is my mixtape standard.
Lust Lust Lust
is amazing.
