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

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

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

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":

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

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

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:

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

1: Unwound - s/t
2: Capitalist casualties - raised ignorant
3: Crossed out - s/t
4: Neanderthal - fighting music
5: Slint - s/t

--------------------
6: My bloody valentine - tremelo

there.

I'm not one for lists. But the last thing I listened to was the Furniture ep by Fugazi. Great ep.

Pavement - Watery Domestic
Radiohead - 2 +2 =5 (com lag)
Nirvana - Hormoaning
Nine Inch Nails - Broken

watery domestic, come on pilgrim, kill yr idols, superfuzz bigmuff and Sonic Youth EP

Cornershop - Lock, Stock, and Double Barelled
Boss Hog - Girl Positive Plus
Main - Dry Stone Feed
Jesus And Mary Chain - Some Candy Talking
God Machine -Home


I don't know if they are my absolute favourite. There are many more, and 5 is too strict a number.

Great choice. Cornershop were great at one point.

Radiohead - My Iron Lung
Mogwai - EP+2 (or EP+6...depends on the release)
Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada
Fly Pan Am - Sedatifs En Frequences Et Sillons
Polvo - Celebrate the New Dark Age

Huggy Bear's Rubbing The Impossible To Burst is another ace ep.

The Jesus Lizard - Pure

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.

- wikipedia definition

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.
