Sonic Youth 37 · 04.18.2007, 05:38 PM

1. Kill Yr Idols
2. Tremolo
3. Come On Pilgrim
4. Feed Me With Your Kiss
5. Tremulant

Hip Priest · 04.18.2007, 05:39 PM

Does that count as an EP? I kind of thought EPs had to have more than two tracks or something. But I'm happy to put Propaganda's 'Duel/Jewel' 12" masterpiece in second place on the list:

The Baby Men - For King Willy

Propaganda - Duel/Jewel
Frankfurter - Eat
David Sylvian - Words With The Shaman
Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy

Savage Clone · 04.18.2007, 05:41 PM

I say if it's on a 12", it's an EP.
I cheated on that last one, as it was a 7" 45.

Hip Priest · 04.18.2007, 05:44 PM

It is indeed.

The Baby Men's astonishing 'For King Willy' EP (or as much as my scanner would fit):

And the great Propaganda 12":

LittlePuppetBoy · 04.18.2007, 07:18 PM

Meat Puppets-In a Car
Mission of Burma-Signals, Calls and Marches
Black Flag-Six Pack
Black Flag-Nervous Breakdown
Pavement-Watery Domestic

Everyneurotic · 04.18.2007, 07:54 PM

fack, let's see:

*black flag - jealous again
*yellow swans - drift
*boredoms - super roots 3
*metallica - garage days revisited
*white magic - through the sun door

atari 2600 · 04.18.2007, 10:30 PM

EDIT:

pretty much all the Sonic Youth eps
all the Fall, all The Beatles, All of MBV's, all of Gang of Four's, all of Duran Duran's singles and remixes, all of Pavement's singles, some of Boredoms, etc...

Top 5 w/o repeats:

1 R.E.M. - Chronic Town
2 The Beatles - Lady Madonna/The Inner Light
3 Sonic Youth - Dirty Boots
4 Chickasaw Mudd Puppies - White Dirt
5 Duran Duran - Planet Earth

various others:
Metallica - Garage Days Revisited
The Beatles - Hey Bulldog
John Lennon & Yoko Ono - Two Virgins
John Lennon & Yoko Ono - Life With The Lions
Pavement - Watery, Domestic
Butthole Surfers - Widowermaker
The Pixies - Come on Pilgrim
My Bloody Valentine - You Made Me Realise
My Bloody Valentine - Fee Me With Your Kiss
Gang of Four - Love Like Anthrax
Fugazi - Margin Walker

EP once meant something more tangible, back in 7" only days. Nowadays, it's an EP only if it has "EP" on the cover, I suppose.

Hey what does everyone think of Yo la Tengo EPs? I've never heard any... isn't one called Danelectro?

no way, EP must have at least 3 tracks, and often no specific lead track.

here's mine (not sure if the first and the last are mini-lp's):

the fall - slates
my bloody valentine - tremolo
my bloody valentine - you made me realise
liimanarina - maailman tylsin vittumaisuus
killdozer - burl

and here's one more:
dead kennedys - in god we trust inc

Extended play (EP) is the name typically given to vinyl records or CDs which contain more than one single but are too short to qualify as albums.

and not to be confused with mini-albums...

usually 12"EP's were 45rpm and mini-albums 33rpm but for some reason many U.S. ep's play at 33rpm.
