Fulfillingness First Finale 1974
Songs in the Key of Life 1976

Bungle (of course) starting with a bowel of chiley

thanks fellas

and Sharppie thax for reminding me of one of the best examples:

Miles...again (70-72)

Bitches Brew
Tribute to Jack Johnson
Live Evil
On the Corner

He murdered the very idiom he helped to pioneer and create. Left if bleeding in the gutter like you would any rat or roach. I moe see if i caint come up with a few more..

[Grotocult]

NIN: disappointing from the Fragile onwards
Korn: patchy albums since Follow the Leader
PJ: Sucked after Vitalogy
Melvins: Honky and Maggot both disappointing after the Atlantic Years and dude you forgot Houdini W T F
Soundgarden: Superunknown is their only great record
FNM: AOTY is kind of a dud: some good songs, but it's basically a more polite KFAD

[SHARPPIE]

it's a proven fact that PB listens to garbage.

...not the band 'garbage' but actual garbage....but if he did listen to garbage it would fit in because garbage is garbage.

Hey, Nick Gherr, you are just starting to fantasize this shit as true when it's just your dumbass opinion. There ain't even a base hit in this list.

[clitty litter]

So have your heard any Tribe Called Quest, or the Roots, or Chris Whitley?

-Undertow (1993)
-Aenima (1996)
-Lateralus (2001)

Too bad their last album was pure shite. I dont think they will ever do another good record.

[Carcharodon carcharias]

Nothing... not even a base hit.

[SHARPPIE]

what you don't like about them is nothing....brilliant, and articulate as well.

Hey, Nick Gherr, you are just starting to fantasize this shit as true when it's just your dumbass opinion. There ain't even a base hit in this list.
