bands whose third album is their best album

[Dr. Furface]

Roxy Music - Stranded (discuss)

 

[isvicthere?]

Billy Bragg - "Talking with the taxman about poetry"

 

[El Jefe]

you can argue about the status of various Eps etc, but the third proper Butthole Surfers album was Locust Abortion Technician

"And at another particularly wild concert in 1986, Haynes and Lynch reportedly engaged in sexual intercourse while on stage, as Leary used a screwdriver to vandalize the club's speakers. This came after only five songs, during which time Haynes had started a small fire"

Portishead - Third

 

[saucisson]

Wishbone Ash – The Argus

good call, great lp...

Have the Happy Mondays been mentioned yet? I'm not entirely sure "Pills'N'Thrills..." is my favourite but it's certainly worth considering.

Curtis Mayfield, as a solo act, is worth considering too with "Super Fly".
