    The Stone Roses is definitely a gem.

    It's sad to see how the quality of music has degraded over the last couple of years. I guess the Ipod killed the concept of an album.

    Me and my friends had a drunken conversation about the decline of albums. We couldn't name a band post 2000 that had an as good or better second album.

    These may just be over 20 years...

    Stone Roses - Stone Roses
    Cure - Disintegration
    DM - Violator
    Happy Mondays - Pills n Thrills...

    Maybe Gene - Olympian would sneak in there as well as a more modern one

    There's only been one post to mention a modern day album. Are all the modern albums really that bad?

    A couple of other moderns:

    Florence and the Machine (great)
    Bumford and Sons (good)
    Ladyhawke (great)

    The new Lykke Li one is pretty good, too. Too early to tell where it sits though.

    I personally like Arcade Fire's Neon Bible better than Funeral (although I really don't get The Suburbs), and I think same goes for We are Scientist's With Love And Squalor/Brain Thrust Mastery. It's probably mostly a matter of perception - people like a certain tone of an album and if the follow-up isn't exactly the same, they all start bitching about a decline in 'quality', whatever this is. Either way, given that bands nowadays make their money by touring rather than through selling albums, who can blame them if they put less effort into their studio work.....
