Flynny Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 Not one of you lot thought to mention My Bloody Valentine's 'Loveless'? Shame on you all. Neutral Milk Hotel's 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea' is classic. Doolittle is amazing, where Surfer Rosa is just decent. Sigur Ros's Ãgætis Byrjun is way better than Von. I'm sure I could think of a few more.
Lillehamring Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 travis - the man who the cardigans - life. definately agree with MBV - but no way second coming can even compare to the debut, not even close....
mancunianfox Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 More classic 2nd albums that were also better than the debut, apologies if any have already been mentioned: Iggy & The Stooges - Funhouse Lou Reed - Transformer Jesus & Mary Chain - Darklands Bob Dylan - The Freewheeling Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure Oasis - (Whats The Story) Morning Glory? Black Sabbath - Paranoid Tubeway Army - Replicas My Bloody Valentine - Loveless Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral Joy Division - Closer
Head Honcho Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 travis - the man whothe cardigans - life. definately agree with MBV - but no way second coming can even compare to the debut, not even close.... The Steve Lillywhite produced Good Feeling is by far superior to The Man Who imho. Maybe not commercially, but hey when has that ever been a benchmark?
Lillehamring Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 The Steve Lillywhite produced Good Feeling is by far superior to The Man Who imho.Maybe not commercially, but hey when has that ever been a benchmark? i guess i said this based on seeing them tour the first album, and the singles - mediocre brit pop as i remember, but, like most of these, its all opinion based, i guess.
Simon Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 Radiohead - The Bends. (No obscure debut before PH)Nirvana - Nevermind. Foo Fighters - The Colour and The Shape. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream. Muse - OoS. Oh yes. Live- Throwing Copper Within Temptation- Mother Earth Creed- Human Clay Evanescence- The Open Door (I don't care what anyone else says!)

Steve Lillywhite will be horrified to be associated with Britpop but like you said it's all about opinions

Black Sabbath - Paranoid Tubeway Army - Replicas My Bloody Valentine - Loveless Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral Joy Division - Closer I know that Downward Spiral sold more and got better reveiws but I still think that Pretty Hate Machine is better...
Alexikokopops Posted 6 July 2007 Posted 6 July 2007 It was basically cos I couldn't think of many off the top of my head, as opposed to bands whose debut I prefer to their second album;Arctic Monkeys Art Brut Black Rebel Motorcycle Club The Cooper Temple Clause The Coral Daft Punk Dandy Warhols Franz Ferdinand Fun Lovin' Criminals Hot Chip Jurassic 5 The Libertines Maximo Park The Music Oasis Rage Against The Machine The Streets The Strokes Weezer I've got another for the 2nd better than debut list though - Queens of the Stone Age British Sea Power's The Decline Of... shits all over Open Season Not one of you lot thought to mention My Bloody Valentine's 'Loveless'? Shame on you all. Neutral Milk Hotel's 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea' is classic. Doolittle is amazing, where Surfer Rosa is just decent. Sigur Ros's Ãgætis Byrjun is way better than Von.I'm sure I could think of a few more. Doolittle is better than Surfer Rosa, but Come On Pilgrim came before both of those.
Flynny Posted 6 July 2007 Posted 6 July 2007 British Sea Power's The Decline Of... shits all over Open Season Doolittle is better than Surfer Rosa, but Come On Pilgrim came before both of those. Come on Pilgrim in an EP. Why it gets included in lists of their albums all the time I have no idea. Possibly because it seems to have been their only EP, but I have no clue. Surfer Rosa was their first full length, and Doolittle is miles better. As for BSP, I didn't think there was much to chose between the two albums, personally.

Although your opinion's wrong about BSP.
hairy Posted 11 July 2007 Posted 11 July 2007 Pop Will Eat Itself's Cure for InsanityFo sho. Box frenzy was better
Fez of Mahrez Posted 11 July 2007 Author Posted 11 July 2007 Athlete - Tourist.Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have It So Much Better. Oasis - (What's The Story) Morning Glory. You're a nutcase.
General Smuts Posted 11 July 2007 Posted 11 July 2007 Blur - Modern Life Is Rubbish - marginally better than Leisure Pulp - Freaks Paul Weller - Either Stanley Road or Wild Wood depending on whether he had an album before Wild Wood Stereophonics - Performance And Cocktails The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free even though both his first 2 albums are shit this one's marginally better becacuse of 'Dry Your Eyes'
