But it has to really be the "final" album - can't pick anyone still recording (Dylan), can't pick anyone who reunited and cut a full album and fncked it up (Stooges, Mission of Burma, Big Star) and it can't be a band that cut just 1 album  * Joy Division - Closer (1980) Makes their (equally brilliant) debut look light and silly. Easily my number 1 of these .......an overwhelming record...... * The Replacements - All Shook Down (1990) - For the first 8 songs it's pretty much a perfect farewell album. * Husker Du - Warehouse: Songs and Stories (1987) - Maybe better to me than Candy Apple Grey (1986) (it's close) and an amazing amount of hummable songs. * The Muffs - No Holiday (2019) - Recorded while Kim Shattuck was dying and knew it (like Bowie's overpraised (to me) Blackstar which will get mentioned a lot here I reckon) - it's like a farewell gift, a tragic story and the record is essentially touched up demos that feel warm and that you feel in your bones. In some ways my favorite of their 7 studio records and I love em all. Yours? |

I forgot Richard & Linda Thompson - who made albums after each other but won't make another together I'm guessing and their last is a stone cold masterpiece Shoot Out THe Lights (1982)

Definitely Likferd (2003) by Windir. Definitely the band's best work and one of the best black metal albums in general.

Daft Punk's Random Access Memories (2013) is pretty phenomenal and (unfortunately) seems to be their last.

Agree with Warehouse and Random Access Memories
I will also go with-
Let it Be by The Beatles
The Magic Whip by Blur
Bossanova by The Pixies (I'm mentally blocking out everything Black Francis has done later in the name of the band)
Strangeways Here We Come by The Smiths
Terror Twilight by Pavement
Bish Bosch by Scott Walker
The Gift by The Jam

^ ................Trompe Le Monde (?). Another to add for me: which isn't as good as the others I listed but that I personally champion nowadays and is like In Utero (not mentioned yet btw) - the 3rd album and then a suicide by the lead singer / songwriter / guitarist. ......: Material Issue - Freak City Soundtrack (1994)I think it's their best - after 2 meh albums - and a minor classic of 90s Power Pop ......I play this album more nowadays than I ever have before......it's aged extremely well..... |

#1 - The Deadly Snakes - Porcella (2005) - their third album Ode to Joy was awesome, a step up, and up again with their fourth/final Porcella.......when pacinoyes first recommended it on IMDb it was a relatively new album... Others, if not totally successful albums, at least have high points…. Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul The Replacements - All Shook Down The Smugglers - Mutiny in Stereo Sam Cooke - Ain’t That Good News Howlin’ Wolf - The Back Door Wolf Muddy Waters - King Bee The Jam - The Gift |

don't care if the old fogeys are considering releasing a new album, it's still this:  not yet mentioned honorable mention: Warren Zevon's THE WIND. slightly less enthusiastic honorable mention: Pavement's TERROR TWILIGHT. Which is getting a re-do in a few months that could be a Dead Man's Pop-esque revitalization. and I won't stand for any halfhearted praise for All Shook Down. Grows on me more and more with each passing year. Not one bad song on the album... maybe a few that don't 100% fit the vibe, but all is forgiven with the underrated devastating masterpiece/spiritual successor to Here Comes a Regular/beyond perfect track to close the band's discography out::: THE LAST. |
