But Marr went so downhill, he needed Morrissey.

Niggas knew they could never top this and dipped out

Every day I'm thankful for this. Can you imagine The Beatles doing 70s Christopher Cross-inspired soft rock?
or The Beatles covering fucking New Wave?
I'm secretly glad The Beatles broke up, so they could go out on a high note.

too early

best band of the 80s and only made 2 records

The Velvet Underground

>>72552523
Fuck slint. Worst album on this board.

swans stopped at just the right time and then came back and runed the'yre career

>>72552805
"the'yre" means 'the your' and it implicates possession of a noun such as "career" by a third party, while being said in a personal voice and mood. that's not a typo.

>>72552831
That explanation was worse than their comeback

>tfw you realize Tweez is a better album overall
>tfw you realize Spiderland only has a few really great moments across the album
>tfw you realize the band members went on to be in a shit ton of other really great bands that you can easily find and listen to and not worry about them ever 'topping' their most critically acclaimed album
>tfw you find other math rock bands to listen to

You mean bands that got disbanded right after their peak? Unwound comes to mind first.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is an example of the phenomenon known as "first post best post", or "FPBP" for short. In this 4chan trope, the first reply to a question or prompt put by the Original Poster, or OP, is not something that everyone would necessarily immediately come up with on their own. But once confronted with it, everyone realizes that the reply given is true, appropriate, and /the best possible example of an answer to the OP's question or rhetoricla prompt/, all at once.

Also Big Black.

I dunno, I think they had one more good album in them. As it is, they have quite the enviable discography.

>>72553181
They hated each other though. I'd have loved another album too but they were better off on separate paths ultimately.

>>72552445
Honestly, The Smiths could have made at least one more great album. Morrissey's Bona Drag and Viva Hate are really good and would have only improved with Marr's help. I guess it was better that they didn't chance it and ended anyways.

>>72552541
I agree, if they didn't they would've got a case of the 80s and really hit their lowest point

>>72552586
nah ceremony and in a lonely place is among their best work they should have made a third album before splitting up

Wow you're really triggered anon

>>72553023
Should have quit after the second or third album senpai.

>>72554574
the second half of synchronicity is pop perfection so i can't agree with you

>>72553932
While they're my favorite band, I have to agree with this. They also mentioned in the box set book that they have absolutely no plans of a reunion because of Vern's alcoholism and shit

Neutral Milk Hotel
