Bands whose artistic peak was their last album

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

An artistic peak is of course subjective and arguable, but I think most people agree there aren't a lot of bands who quit on top.

The two examples I can think of right now are both controversial. ABBA I feel ended with their best album, but it was a commercial failure. Police's last album was considered an artistic triumph at the time, and also a huge commercial success, but I know a lot of people particularly here om ILM will strongly disagree with me when I do still consider it their best work.

Talk Talk owns this thread, though some might say otherwise. And the Field Mice, I think, though I suppose it could be argued that "For Keeps" is their only *full* album, and thus doesn't really count.

― pssst - badass revolutionary art! (plsmith), Tuesday, 14 February 2006 20:13 (nineteen years ago)

Swans, almost certainly. "Soundtracks" isn't their heaviest OR most accessible album, but they do seem to have a fatally tight grip on their muse for all 123487901025789012735 minutes of it.

pssst- I'm one of those assholes!

― owen moorhead (i heart daniel miller), Tuesday, 14 February 2006 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

Shakey OTM.

Sensei, totally not.

Other nominations:
1. Husker Du - Warehouse (this will be shot down, but it's still my favorite Huskers album).
2. The Jam - The Gift
3. Uncle Tupelo - Anodyne
4. The Verve - Urban Hymns (again maybe confusing popularity with 'artistic peak')

Actually, "Makeout Club" and "West Coast Love Affair" might push "Perfect Teeth" over the edge. But come on: "Imperial"? Goodness.

yeah - i mean, imperial is a great great album. if it had the 12" version of "isabel" instead of the no-drums version, itd be closer. at this point, i probably just insist on PT>I because its my historical position. but i DO INSIST.

Funnily enough PT was my introduction to Unrest AND has unending sentimental value since it soundtracked a sweet and wonderful time in my life. That I like Imperial ffrr better I think is indication that I must, at a more basic level, like Imperial a whole lot more. West Coast Love Affair is surely one of my favorite songs ever though.

The Beau Brummels went out on top with their final two: Triangle and Bradley's Barn. Kind of like the Zombies in that sense. I wonder what else both bands could have accomplished.

― wangdangsweetpentangle (teenagequiet), Tuesday, 14 February 2006 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

probably stretching the rules of the game, but PJ Harvey's Rid Of Me. polly jean insisted that "PJ Harvey" was the name of the band...until, of course, they broke up shortly after Rid Of Me. So technically, Rid Of Me was the last, and best, album by the band known as PJ Harvey.

or words to that effect.

just a note: a lot of these groups (Big Star, for one) have put out new albums recently. yes, they are reformed groups, but... i think that premature judgment of a band's 'oeuvre' or whatever is a little silly.

DUDES THE VELVET UNDERGROUND RELEASED FIVE ALBUMS

― pssst - badass revolutionary art! (plsmith), Tuesday, 14 February 2006 21:29 (nineteen years ago)

Joy Division, for me. I definitely prefer Closer to Unknown Pleasures.

― Harrison Barr (Petar), Tuesday, 14 February 2006 21:33 (nineteen years ago)

I'm well aware of Squeeze. I was listening to Squeeze when you were still in short pants. So don't tell me about Squeeze, bucko.

But without Lou, it's not the Velvet Underground.

― kornrulez6969 (TCBeing), Tuesday, 14 February 2006 21:33 (nineteen years ago)

Anyway, Big Star peaked with their debut album.

In the case of Joy Division, I guess they count although most of the band continued under another monicker.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 14 February 2006 21:35 (nineteen years ago)

youve LISTENED to squeeze?

can you really count Squeeze?

I mean... you can barely count Loaded, right? Wsn't it mostly uncredited studio musicians?

and...

Big Star and Roxy Music both totally peaked with thier debuts.

― grady (grady), Tuesday, 14 February 2006 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

i mean, we can never really be sure who played what for any album, right? i figure, if it's officially released and credited to a band, it's by that band.

codeine's "the white birch" is one.

i guess "swans are dead" isn't a "proper" record, but it came after "soundtracks for the blind" and i think i might like it even better.

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 14 February 2006 23:52 (nineteen years ago)

I don't give a shit that nobody will agree with me on this, but -

Elliott Smith - From a Basement on the Hill

ESPECIALLY if it had been the double dsic version that he was planning on releasing, including a second disc of instrumentals (which would have been mindblowing).

However, there isnt a song on the released version that I don't like, and it has my favorutie all time Elliott track on it ("King's Crossing").

I know most of you will say "Either / Or", and that IS a fantastic album, but I've been listening to Elliott for about 9 years now, and the emotional impact of waiting for "Basement" after his death, then hearing it (over and over) has a really special place in my heart.

Like I said, I doubt anyone will agree, but I think for Elliott the bestw as yet to come.

― Erock LAzron, Wednesday, 15 February 2006 00:05 (nineteen years ago)

And I realize he isn't necessarily a "Band", but he DID play pretty much all the instruments on his last few albums, so he's a one man band ! Right ? Right ?

yeah, well i do think i put the caveat in there. although i take your point about UH being a solo album, based on the evidence of Ashcroft's other solo albums, I think the contributions of the rest of the group must have been significant. Because everything else he's done has sucked.

Wow. never have guessed that one would be anyones favourite over Giant steps, Everythings alright forever and Wake Up. Decent enough album. never seen a shop bought copy, all the copies I've seen have been card promos meaning presumably that it sold by the paper cupful?

Yeah, there's a difference between artists with the integrity to call it a day at their peak and artists who just happened to die before they became irrelevant; there's no guarantee that Ian Curtis wouldn't have turned out like Morrissey; still important, still interesting, still great even, but unlikely to top his early stuff.

Oh! The KLF.

― owen moorhead (i heart daniel miller), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 15:43 (nineteen years ago)

ah, for some reason I always thought D.O.A. came after 20 Jazz Funk Greats. Must've been the "third and final report" business. Looking at their catalog I'm not sure what one would call their last proper album (as if one could speak of "propriety" here). Heathen Earth? Seems like it's been all live stuff and back catalog since then.

I thought I'd revive this thread because of the Sleater-Kinney breakup news and the talk that's been going around WRT S-K, Sonic Youth, and when a band should call it quits.

For what it's worth here's my pick (obviously one that plenty on ILM disagree with):

Sleater-Kinney - The Woods

― Matt Olken (Moodles), Thursday, 29 June 2006 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

I'd nominate The Wonderstuff for this thread. Construction For The Modern Idiot was pretty fantastic really, I think it's one of the few albums from that period I can still listen to and enjoy.

I can't believe all this talk about Big Star peaking with their debut. That's ludicrous.

Chris Bell was an important part of Big Star and he only contributed to that debut. Their only fully-fledged harmonic powerpop album, and obviously their best (even though it doesn't contain any single songs quite as good as "September Gurls")

― Zachary Scott (Zach S), Friday, 30 June 2006 07:24 (nineteen years ago)

I've thumbed through my music and other than the Zombies, these are the only two groups that I could I could honestly say their last was their best record.

MC 5 - High Time
Big Black - Songs About Fxxking

Kick Out the Jams has some high points, but I think High Time is a better record front to back.

I have not heard all of At the Drive In's records, but their last one is good.
