sophmore better than debut

LL - BAD over Radio
TCQ - LET over Peoples...

[mickill]

As far as rap goes:

Nation Of Millions...>Bumrush The Show
Supreme Clientele>Ironman
ATLiens>Southernplayalistic...
Liquid Swords>Words From The Genius
Unfinished Business>Strictly Business
Follow The Leader>Paid In Full
Resurrection>Can I Borrow A Dollar?
Slaughtahouse>Take A Look Around
Power>Rhyme Pays
Step In The Arena>No More Mr Nice Guy

Death Certificate is probably equal to Amerikkka's Most. Same with EFIL4ZAGGIN and Staight Outta Compton.

And It's close, but I personally think that Radio's better than BAD, though.

*cough* Paul's Boutique *cough*

[abcdefz]

The Band - The Band
Bruce Springsteen - The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle
Rickie Lee Jones - Pirates (some might argue with that one)


...and, yeah; Beastie Boys, absolutely.

[ScarySquirrel]

Marty Robbins.

[mickill]

The Bends>Pablo Honey
With The Beatles>Please Please Me
Blues For The Red Sun>Wretch
Rated R>Queens Of the Stone Age
The Man Who>Good Feeling
Led Zeppelin II>S/T
Ride The Lightning>Kill Em All
Siamese Dream>Gish
De Stijl>The White Stripes
Leave Home>The Ramones
Nevermind>Bleach
Surfer Rosa>Come On Pilgrim
Being There>A.M.

The last 2 were EP's, but still.

Slanted And Enchanted vs Crooked Rain Crooked Rain = undecided.

i agree with Rakim and EPMD.......PE is a tie and i like 'Compton better........the reason i didn't pick the beasties is cuz i think they're first 3 records are tied for first....

[adam_f]

mickill's list is pretty much spot on.

I'm probably the only one on here who thinks that Hello Nasty is the only classic Beastie Boys album too.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

A Tribe Called Quest....People's Instinctive Travel's And The Path's Of Rhythm was good, but not as deep as The Low End Theory

Everclear.....Sparkle & Fade blew away their first album, World Of Noise.

De La Soul......while 3 Feet High And Rising was a masterpeice, De La Soul Is Dead is superior in my eyes.

Nirvana......Nevermind blew away Bleach.

Ludacris....I couldn't stand Back For The First time, while Word Of Mouf was one of the best southern rap albums of the past few years.

Weezer.....The Blue album is classic, do doubt about it, but Pinkerton is perfect.

i'm down with weezer.......but don't understand the fascination with pinkerton....i'm rockin the blue as we speak........my name IS jonas!

[Lex Diamonds]

Yeah but Raising Hell > Run-D.M.C.

even though Run-D.M.C. > King of Rock.

Explain THAT!

Blue and Pinkerton are world's apart, if I didn't know any better, I'd swear they were done by two different bands.

I guess it depends on what kind of Weezer fan you are....most Weez fans like the polished rock, and pop like hooks of Blue, Green, and part of Make Beleive. Other's like the emotional lyrics and unpolished sound of Maladroit and Pinkerton.

To me, Blue is inferior to Pinkerton, not vastly, but still inferior. :D

i like them all, but pinkerton.........although MB is 3 singles and the rest of the tracks are all the same thing.....poor millionaire rivers....but i'll give pinkerton another listen...

Freewheelin' Bob Dylan was his second album, right?

So...

Freewheelin Bob Dylan > Bob Dylan

[BangkokB]

Some people say Black Sabbath Paranoid is better than Black Sabbath/Black Sabbath. I disagree. Tools~ Aenema was head and shoulders above their title mess. Korn~ Life is Peachy.
Alice in Chains ~ Dirt is completely different than Facelift....Some might even say better. Slayers Hell Awaits was better than Show No Mercy
