Sandwiches between two masterpieces

By a mile

 

First I ever heard of a sandwich having the filler at the bottom!

 

Is that a reference to the image in the gatefold of For the Roses?

 

Beethoven, Symphony no 4.

 

For me, it's a good album with some great moments, but it pales a bit compared to the two that surround it. It's a little too uneven.

Yeah, I overlooked PinUps since that didn't contain any original material, so it was more of side project than a proper album, but that would be the logical choice otherwise.

 

Ramones:

Road To Ruin
End Of The Century
Pleasant Dreams

 

But Let It Be wasn't sandwiched in between them release wise.
Yellow Submarine fulfills your concept in between White and Abbey

 

Ween

Chocolate and Cheese
12 Golden Country Greats
The Mollusk

 

Between the Buttons
Their Satanic Majesties Request
Beggars Banquet

 

The Man Who Sold the World came before Hunky Dory.

 

I suppose..........

Horses
Radio Ethiopia
Easter

.........but sometimes Radio Ethiopia is my favorite of the three.

 

Clouds
Ladies of the Canyon
Blue

Court and Spark
Hissing
Hejira


We are speaking comparatively and relatively.

 

Bowie for me would be
Diamond Dogs
Young Americans
Station to Station

or
Aladdin Sane
Pin Ups
Diamond Dogs
but that almost goes without saying

 

Felt:

Ignite The Seven Cannons
Let The Snakes Crinkle Their Heads To Death
Forever Breathes The Lonely Word


...again I like the Crinkle album, but it was a badly timed minor release of low key, slightly musaky instrumentals, following on from the relative success of 'Primitive Painters'

 

I’d say:
Janis Joplin

Cheap Thrills
Kozmic Blues
Pearl

KB is the weakest, but it still is a good, underrated album, right now is my favorite of Janis’.

 

The Clash

The Clash
Give 'Em Enough Rope
London Calling

 

The difference in album quality is not relevent.
You could also make a few good Beatle albums with material from 1970-1973.
McCartney is not the Beatles.
The Beatles is not McCartney.
Michael Jackson is not the Jacksons.
The Jacksons are not Michael Jackson.

 

But Michael Jackson is the Beatles. How do you deal with that?

 

Willie Nelson

Shotgun Willie
Phases and Stages
Red Headed Stranger

 

NO

London Calling
Sandinista!
Combat Rock

Makes a lot more sense

 

McCartney hasn't been McCartney for the longest.
It's funny how fans & artists themselves like to make excuses for failing. Soundtracks, mixtapes, side projects, aliases, collaborations, contract obligations, EPs, live albums, covers album, unreleased/demos, bootlegs. But if it's good, then they'll accept it as official.

 

The Dictators Go Girl Crazy!
Manifest Destiny
Bloodbrothers

 

Hunky Dory was actually the middle album.

 

Fear of Music is awesome and was rated album of the year by the NME in the golden year of 1979.

Rocklist.net...NME End Of Year Lists 1979...

 

Yeah

Dark Side> Wish You Were You Were Here> Animals was a fantastic run... and then they literally hit The Wall... wow that was so easy
