Ah thanks for the reminder, I meant to check that out after you mentioned it in the other thread. I was a Pumpkins fan from Gish to Adore, but never heard this. I don't know that I'll like it though, because I really only like half of the material on Mellon Collie (a mixture of the soft and heavy, I think...it just depends on the track).

Boards of Canada - In A Beautiful Place Out in the Country

My Bloody Valentine had a ton of awesome EPs, some of the best of any band in my opinion.

Sunny Sundae Smile

Lush had some fantastic early EPs; Gala was a collection of their first 3 and maybe their best release (they turned crappy later). It included Scarlet, my favorite song by them, and a lot of their noisier stuff!

Lastly, the Lazarus EP by the Boo Radleys could be my favorite EP from any band. It was the perfect combination of all their styles, and ran together perfectly.

Oh yeah I forgot Call To Arms by BOTAR. That **** kicks ass. Thing is, I didn't bother getting EPs until somewhat recently, so my collection is a bit small. Oh well, it'll get better.

Water Curses - Animal Collective
Single-handedly lead me out of the musical dark age that was 8th grade. Pretty damn powerful for 4 songs.

Silver - Jesu

Self-titled EP from Scratch Acid that predated most other post-hardcore.

Stereolab's Crumb Duck -- their first collaboration with producer Steven Stapleton (of Nurse With Wound fame).

Debut EP from the Minutemen. Released as an LP but seeing as it's all of 16 minutes long I contest this.
