Favorite EPs
 

What are your guys' favorite extended plays/EPs?

For me, it doesn't get much better than Tool's Opiate. Just a solid collection of 6 (7 if you count hidden tracks) heavy as **** songs. As much as I like Tool, Opiate might be my favorite CD of theirs.

I love In God We Trust, Inc. by Dead Kennedys. Every song is brilliant, lyrically and musically. The cover and the name are amazing as well.

I'll have to think a bit more, though, since I tend to just classify everything as a studio or a live album or a bootleg instead of as EPs or LPs.

Belle And Sebastian-Lazy Line Painter Jane

Dillinger Escape Plan "Irony Is A Dead Scene"
Lagwagon "I Think My Older Brother Used To Listen To Lagwagon"
Genghis Tron "Cloak Of Love"
The Mars Volta "Tremulant"

all come to mind

The Clash-The Cost Of Living E.P.
The Clash-Black Market Clash

So many classic early Black Flag EPs, HORSE the Band too. Devo's Be Stiff is also great.

A few off the top of my head.

My Bloody Valentine-You Made Me Realise

I made a general music thread about awesome EPs a while ago:

Here are the rock ones I included and a few others:

Tool - Opiate
Dillinger Escape Plan - Irony Is A Dead Scene
The Mars Volta - Tremulant
Les Savy Fav - Rome (Written Upside Down)
These Arms Are Snakes - This is Meant to Hurt You
Nine Inch Nails - Broken
Lymbyc Systym - Carved By Glaciers
Pixies - Come On Pilgrim
Lansing-Dreiden - A Sectioned Beam
Small Brown Bike & The Casket Lottery - Split
Three Trapped Tigers - EP2

That's right, that's an EP. That's the harshest album NIN ever made and maybe the best. As unpopular as I'm going to seem with this next statement, I think With Teeth is deserving of contending for top NIN album.

I was right there with you about Broken possibly being the best NIN release, but With Teeth?! No. I like it more than some people do, but no way does it top Broken or even the first 2 albums IMO.
