whats the best band with more than 20 studio albums?
 

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.

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.

same :(

my friend babysat him and jad fair one time. he had to keep daniel from eating burritos straight out of the freezer.

Haha, rad. How long ago was that?

about 7 years ago. our other friend chris bultman was in a band with them at the time called the lucky sperms. so thats why they were over at the house. the friend who babysat them had only one instruction which was not to give offer them any pot.

That's rather cool

indeed

why was your friend babysitting two grown men?

cause it was Daniel Johnston, as for Jad Fair I don't know

Sun City Dykes
...just kidding, sun city girls

the fall

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

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......

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.

huh youre the second person at least to say them. i also posted this on relapse. i had never even heard of NWW before.

I've been obsessed with them for about 20 years.
