Yeah that's a pretty mediocre one. Overall though, considering how many albums they have, I'd say their discography's pretty solid.

The amount of good albums they have heavily outweighs the not so good ones, I think.

I guess you're right. You never really hear of a band like that, damn that perfect album.

I think if you are just talking about people having a decent / solid discography then you are just basing it on taste and just liking their style of music than on them keeping at a general considered high standard for many albums. I doubt any band has done great music outside of a 10 year period either.

What a list! I never expect any less from you! Trans Am and The Church? You, sir, are pretty much the ****. I'm confused about the '/Secret Chiefs 3' after Mr. Bungle. Apparently they've lived up to their name because I don't know who they are.

This is so subjective that I almost don't even want to bother. But here goes.

Pink Floyd
The Beatles
Simon & Garfunkel
Fugazi
Faith No More
Built to Spill
The Smiths
Skinny Puppy
Autechre

I would include The Rolling Stones but I haven't heard any of their albums after 1978 - and those seem to account for at least 1/3 of their discography.

velvet underground you guys come on

Those bands that have been around for 20+ years are going to have some stinkers. As long as the ratio is 3:1, I think that would count as a strong discography.

R.E.M.
Talking Heads
Cream
Violent Femmes
