This thread is to explore those artists in which you like EVERY album that they released. Maybe you didn't like every song, but definitely every LP. This is definitely more difficult in the popular genre than say jazz or blues. The latter styles don't usually vary much, but the former can.

My artists/groups are:
Toad the Wet Sprocket
Tears for Fears
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Yellowjackets
Seal
Tonic
Brad
Enigma

Some above are not difficult for they only released maybe 2 albums. However, TtWS, Tears, SRV, and Yellowjackets have released over 5 or 6 apiece. Sometimes when an artist change their sound or style, I will like the change as much as the original but not usually. What are yours?

 

[mlchang]

dubstar - 3 albums all different
radiohead - liked them all including pablo honey and kid a
orbital - one great album after another
Way Out West - only two albums, but both are excellent

 

[elipsis]

Cradle of Filth. Amazing progression with every release a solid one.

 

[AdamP88]

U2 - though it took some time to appreciate some of them, I genuinely like all of their albums (and love several of them) and really enjoy following the constantly evolving/changing sound. The contrast between Boy and something like Zooropa is quite prominent, but all of it's still got that spark that is distinctly U2. Can't wait for the next album, hopefully it'll be harder hitting than All That You Can't Leave Behind (though I love the album as it is).

Marillion. except for the few I don't have (can't judge those) I like them all. a couple of them are in the top ten of all time, and one or two (Radiation specifically), are not upto that level, but I still like them. if you compare their early work with their more recent stuff, you wouldn't say they're the same band (well, they did change drummers early on, and vocalist later on, but besides that).

Arena. (with former Marillion drummer

) only four albums (excludeing the EP, which should be good too) so far, but each one is a joy. for casual listening I like Visitor a little less, but for a dedicated session it's brilliant (also generally regarded as one of the most interesting progrock releases of the late 90's).

those are the only ones of whom I know the entire catalog, so there ya go.

Gil Scott-Heron.

No contest. No question. No peers. He never sold out. He never cared if he crossed-over. He just wrote his poems, made his music, and shared his pain.
