Favorite EPs

What are your guys' favorite extended plays/EPs?

For me, it doesn't get much better than Tool's Opiate. Just a solid collection of 6 (7 if you count hidden tracks) heavy as **** songs. As much as I like Tool, Opiate might be my favorite CD of theirs.

I love In God We Trust, Inc. by Dead Kennedys. Every song is brilliant, lyrically and musically. The cover and the name are amazing as well.

I'll have to think a bit more, though, since I tend to just classify everything as a studio or a live album or a bootleg instead of as EPs or LPs.

Dillinger Escape Plan "Irony Is A Dead Scene"
Lagwagon "I Think My Older Brother Used To Listen To Lagwagon"
Genghis Tron "Cloak Of Love"
The Mars Volta "Tremulant"

all come to mind

So many classic early Black Flag EPs, HORSE the Band too. Devo's Be Stiff is also great.

A few off the top of my head.

That's right, that's an EP. That's the harshest album NIN ever made and maybe the best. As unpopular as I'm going to seem with this next statement, I think With Teeth is deserving of contending for top NIN album.

I was right there with you about Broken possibly being the best NIN release, but With Teeth?! No. I like it more than some people do, but no way does it top Broken or even the first 2 albums IMO.
