REM has had as many albums as the Melvins, but as many quality?
jim o rourke, john zorn, mike pattons done ok
i dont think sonic youth fits on that list...
otomo yoshihides done well
red krayola...

why not klump? they work with noise and improv like the Melvs.

ya thats true, mayo thompson has been doing his thing a long time!!
also got me thinking of Billy Childish and thee Headcoatees too!
omg, he put fuckin motorhead.
heheh, motorhead should also be taken off the list...
Yes, beto! Flaming lips had many great albums! Do you have their cd set "Acid"? I still don't have it, but it includes their first EP!
ummm, some on that list i don't like, some are so so
but have you seen Lemmy live and in the flesh?
Motorhead have been an institution a long time.
They were the first band doing double time punk
tempos and metal chords, plus "lead" Bass by Lems!
without fights going down. Ace of Spades is a classic.
and Lemmy grows a new boil on his face before every tour!

As much as I like Slayer, they've maintained a certain level of quality by making the same album for 20 years...And before anyone whines, yeah I know South of Heaven is...SLOW and Reign in Blood is...FAST. Suggesting vast difference between them is like citing the differences between and Alsation and a Rottweiler...
yeah they do get repetitive don't they? i like lombardo and all but i can only take so much double bass. and solos get on my nerves. but south of heaven slow? i guess it's slow for slayer.

That's more or less what I meant. Compare it to the rest of their body of work, and it's fairly pedestrian. Plus singing about Satan for one decade and right wing politics for another gets a little repetitive too.
Mind you, the ultimate one trick pony has to be Deicide. A good 14 or so years of blasting for Satan exclusively there...
