your top 5 EPs
 

A little harder maybe? My list sort of resembles my top 5 albums but oh well.

Pavement - Watery, Domestic
12RODS - gay?
Sonic Youth - 100% (single)
Matthew Good Band - Loser Anthems
Grandaddy- Signal to Snow Ratio

hmmm

Polvo - Celebrate The New Dark Age
Dinosaur Jr - Whatever's cool with me
Dinosaur Jr - fossils
Archers of Loaf - VS The Greatest of all time
Polvo - This Eclipse

I should listen to Polvo

Polvo is cool.

Dead C - Dead C vs Sebadoh
Swans - Raping A Slave
Big Black - Headache
Loop - Collision
Harry Pussy - the 7" EP with the girl holding a frog.

polvo is very cool. No one here would care what my top 5 EPs are.

It is harder because I probably don't own more than 5 EPs.

what are your top 5 EP's?

Birdmen Of Alkatraz - Glidin' Off
Loop - Prisma Uber Europa
Nurse With Wound - Cooloorta Moon
Kendra Smith - The Guild Of Temporal Adventurers
Andreas Martin - Doppelpunkt Vor Ort

Les Savy Fav - Rome/Emor
Pavement - Watery Domestic
Idlewild - Captain (sentimental reasons)

obviously not a top 5 but those are some im fond of

I feel the 5 song EP is the way most albums should have always been, its very rare that you hear an album and think that you couldnt appreciate it if it wasnt 12 tracks.

Polvo are dull, dull, dull.

Sonic Youth - Kill Yr Idols
The Nerves - The Nerves (1976 EP - I don't own it, I can't find it, I downloaded it, mp3 is shit, I want it)
The Cramps - Can Your Pussy Do the Dog? (great cover)
Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 - The Natural Finger (on Ajax)
that'll be all

Bobby Soxx "Learn to Hate in the 80's" b/w "Scavenger of Death"
Red Asphalt "R/A"
Drunks With Guns "Punched in the Head"
Crash Normal "Normal"
The Hospitals "Rich People"

The Baby Men - For King Willy


Frankfurter - Eat
David Sylvian - Words With The Shaman
Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy
Piratio - Room Tones

Good call with Polvo. Celebrate and This Eclipse are excellent. I would throw in Archers Vs Greatest of All Time. I love eps. nowadays all bands should put out eps only b/c,on the whole, no one is good enough for a full length.

Actually, it just seems that way because everyone has ADD now.

Back in the day, before the advent of cds, an album was often only 40-50 minutes long, with maybe eight or nine tracks. With cds you get much more space to fill, so it's hardly surprising that some bands struggle.

HP, I thought for sure you would be mentioning Propaganda in this thread.
(Happy belated birthday, by the way)

Did Propaganda do any EPs? I've probably forgotten something really good by someone.

Thanks for the birthday wishes.
