For me, Van der Graaf Generator had only one studio album that wasn't good during their entire career (ALT). And within their albums, the quality is generally high throughout.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Death, Atheist, Opeth, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Haken, Harmonium, Wobbler, Enslaved, and from everything i've heard so far, Steve Hillage. Even though Gentle Giant had an anticlimactic ending to their career, their run from Debut-Interview is near perfection, and I even like Missing Piece.

Univers Zero and Art Zoyd have never let me down. I'm also yet to find a weak Cardiacs album.

Pink Floyd, they were good all the way through, though they were much less good at the end of their existence

Cardiacs & XTC are a good shout.

Univrs Zero Magma and VDGG come close. Agalloch is also stellar across the board but only have 5 albums.

Steely Dan
Thinking Plague John Zorn's Simulacrum Univers Zero and Cardiacs already mentioned, but good picks. I discount bands that make the same album over and over again (even if it is a good one) and also those with a small discography (fewer than seven studio albums; arbitrary I know). I was tempted to add Magma, but although I don't dislike Merci the way many do, it's still not on a par with their other work.

I think if you look at Jethro Tull from 1968 to 1980, they released consistently good to great albums every year, from This Was all the way to A. And with the release of the boxed sets that include numerous songs that never made it on studio releases, that makes that run all the more remarkable.
This Was (1968) Stand Up (1969) Benefit (1970) Aqualung (1971) Thick as a Brick (1972) Living in the Past (1972) A Passion Play (1973) War Child (1974) Minstrel in the Gallery (1975) Too Old to Rock and Roll (1976) Songs from the Wood (1977) Heavy Horses (1978) Storm Watch (1979) A (1980) |
