Aye, if they had called it quits after Zoo Tv tour, then it would have been alright, considering how bland their more recent stuff has been.

Hmm, lets see...

The Jesus and Mary Chain should have quit after Darklands.
The Cure should have quite after Pornography (I never cared for their poppier incarnation)
Led Zeppelin should have quite after Physical Graffiti
The Who should have quit after Who's Next
The Kinks should have quit after Muswell Hillbillies
The Strokes should have quit after Is This It
Oasis should have quit after (What's the Story) Morning Glory
The Clash should have quit after Combat Rock

That was all I could think of ATM.

I'd take Honey's Dead and Stoned & Dethroned over Darklands any day

Wish is a fucking horrible album.
Make that Disintegration

This.

Honey's Dead is probably my favorite Jesus and Mary Chain album. Darklands got me into them, Psychocandy turned it into an obsession, and then Honey's Dead proved to me these guys know how to write all sorts of awesome freaking music.

They didn't quit, they just decided to cut the crap.

pretty much any band that got popular in the early eighties or earlier should stop producing albums (no one is an exception not even you bob dylan) , but touring is fine with me no matter what age you're from, i truthfully think slipknot should stop not because they're metal but because they're emo-pop metal.

Wild Mood Swings had some really great stuff on it (as well as some pap) and I thought Bloodflowers was OK too. It's not as though they are prolific and churn out album year after year is it? I think The Cure ARE one of the few bands still capable of churning out a great tune or two after a long career.
