Everything from the s/t up until Elephant is gold. But lets not beat around the bush - GBMS and Icky Thump were indicative of a slow decline. Whilst there are standout moments on both albums neither live up to their earlier work. So, I'm quite happy for them to call it a day. Now the fond memories I have of them will not be tarnished further.
