Debut vs discography

funkycow [Edit] [Delete] 30 replies 01:14, 5 July '13

From this day forth you can only listen to either a band's debut OR their discography less their debut. Which do you pick?

Pavement - debut for me

Talking Heads for one. "don't take my babyyyy."

The Mars Volta

I'd take the discography over Deloused, no regrets whatsoever.

Sloame_Ocean | 5 Jul '13, 12:06 | X
- Really?
  
  I would do the complete opposite ta. Although if I was on a desert island that would be a different matter, I'd go more for volume of music in that case.

  - Don't get me wrong, I love Deloused but...
    
    it's definitely the album of theirs that I return to the least. In many respects, it feels like Deloused was made by a different band to the music that came subsequently and I think I prefer the band they became with Frances the Mute through to the Bedlam in Goliath...
    
    Sloame_Ocean @steinbolt | 5 Jul '13, 16:12 | X
    - Bedlam In Goliath
      
      is their best album. Not the most popular opinion but it is the one what I have.

Modest Mouse

It's a tragedy losing "Custom Concern" and "Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset", but I can live because I have Moon & Antarctica and Lonesome Crowded West.

ThisTemporaryLife | 6 Jul '13, 10:06 | X
So few bands where I'd take the debut

mostly ones I loved when I was younger

Arctic Monkeys
Maximo Park
The Strokes
Art Brut
The New Pornographers
Archers of Loaf
Galaxie 500
Mazzy Star
Suede

maybe R.E.M. actually!

Hell no funkycow!

There's too much good stuff in the rest of the Pavement catalogue to give up. I just can't do it, but then again never hear Summer Babe, Zurich is Stained or Two States again... argh. So hard, why you make me choose? No, I'm right - if it was Crooked Rain then maybe I'd take your ultimatum but I'm sticking with everything but the debut.

El_Goodo | 6 Jul '13, 14:26 | X
- summer babe's on westing so that's fine
  
  anal_schwarzenegger @El_Goodo | 6 Jul '13, 14:36 | X
  - phew!
    
    this life without Slanted is looking a lot better already.

    - Motion Suggests Itself
      
      there's a tune
      
      bastard_of_the_north @El_Goodo | 6 Jul '13, 18:00 | X
- no here or in the mouth a desert?
