it’s incredible that post-2000 bono got so annoying that everyone forgot they have 5 or 6 hall of fame tier albums

Exactly…their 80s output was right up there with the best decade of music from any band

(and 1991s Achtung Baby went alright as well)

Faces - Ooh la la (probably their best album)
The war on drugs - lost in the dream (again probably their best album)
Beatles - Beatles for Sale
CCR - Willy and the poor boys
RHCP - mothers milk
David Bowie - Hunky Dory
Wings - Band on the run
Pink Floyd 4th without Syd Barrett was Meddle, that’s awesome

In some peoples eyes they did crash and burn, but Pearl Jam’s 4th record ‘No Code’ is in some peoples eyes their best. It’s a record that just grows on you and has got better with age. A lot of people jumped off after Vitalogy because it wasn’t cookie cutter grunge. That was a mistake!
Yield then followed which as just as good if not better!

The white stripes - Elephant.
RATM - Renegades
Stone Temple pliots - No 4.
MGMT - little dark age.

Are ok:
Weezer - Maladroit
PJ - No code.

Pantera - Far beyond driven, could be here, as it’s the bands 4th album with Phil on vocals. But 7th album overall.

Love that War on Drugs record. What a band!

Scott Walker ~ arguably his masterpiece.

Although, I’m ignoring any number of compilations of MOR schlock ~ shamelessly released by a record company who didn’t know what to do with him.
