Your first three albums

[kitsofan34]

A hypothetical.

You're a professional musician. Taking into account, if you choose to do so, the stereotypical career trajectories of musicians (difficult second album f.e), what's the name of your first three albums?

[Kalabi]

1. NME Think We're Dead Good
2. NME Won't Return My Calls
3. NME Think We're Dead Good Again After I Met The Editor In Rehab.

[Misspent Boners]

1. So Far, So Sexy
2. How Many Lightbulbs Does it Take to Change a Man (thomas edison concept album)
3. L.M.A.O (Let's Make Austerity Obsolete)

[Icehaven]

1. Caught A Break
2. Blew It
3. Caught A Break 10th Anniversary Reissue - remastered and with exclusive previously unreleased material (that wasn't good enough first time round.)

[Neville Chamberlain]

1. Internet.com
2. Instagrammable
3. Ian Watkins

I'm envisaging a long Fall-like career, tipping my hat to pop culture references along the way so:

I Fought The Law And The Law 1
2 Drunk To F**k
Thunderbird 3
4 Candles
Slaughterhouse 5 etc.

People may have lost interest by N-N-N-N-19 so the swansong would have to be 20's Plenty to fulfil contractual obligations.

[Neomod]

1. Music to Undress To..
2. Hello, It's Us Again
3. Lysistrata - A Trip Hop Opera

That would actually work really well. Maybe do a Peter Gabriel- like " melty face" effect on one of 'em?

Not a profesh musish, but, a few years ago, I did three via Garageband loops and 20 years worth of accumulated radio gold * (pretty much like what 'Public Service Broadcasting' ended up doing 3 years later)

1 : Errors in Time And Space - September 2006 (16 tracks & 1 hidden bonus = 72 minutes)
2 : Ghetto-Fabulous Bingo Tat - October 2006 (16 tracks & 2 hidden bonii = 64 minutes)

[Attempting two double albums in the space of a month wiped me out for a while & that difficult third album took me over 5 years to cobble together, eventually emerging, like a rare gas, as . . .]

3 : Good Old British Rubbish -  March 2012 (11 tracks - 45 minutes)

* Guest vocals include : John Cooper Clarke, Count Arthur Strong, John Hegley, Bernard Wriggley, Ian Macmillan, Simon Armitage, Eric Thompson, Ray Brooks, Lord Haw-Haw, John Betjeman, Terry-Thomas & Dame Edith Evans

[DukeDeMondo]

2002: s/t (3x Platinum)

2008: riverrun, past Eve and Adams, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth, Castle and Environs. (15'000 units)

2011: s/t (119 units)

2. "Tearz of a Clown": A Tribute to Insane Clown Posse Vol. 2 - The Ballads
3. "Clownin' Around": Live At Gathering of the Juggalos

There's too much music in the world right now and I'm in no position to contribute anything new so as part of my mission to make all "new" releases the work of cover bands, I'd be getting the ball rolling by covering the work of one of the world's best already existing bands.

[DrGreggles]

1. Lance Percival
2. Denholm Elliot
3. Anton Rodgers

[thecuriousorange]

1. Angry, confrontational and don't give a fuck!
2. Rough Edges/Soft Centre (Contains mature ballads that don't manage to chime with pop audience and original fans hate)
3. Self Titled (An attempt to reset the clock and pretend the last record didn't happen)

[Excellent_Biscuits]

Hello

For one of my projects I was planning to release all my albums alphabetically. The first was 'Almost a Leg' and the second 'Bees'. I've come up with a title for the third album and it starts with Y, though, so I might sod the concept off.

[PlanktonSideburns]

1. So Far, So Sexy

Fucking love this as an album name

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

1. Massiver Attack
2. Massivest Attack
3. Massive Attacker (ironic photo of Peter Crouch on the cover)

[a duncandisorderly]

it seems like ages ago. it is. but these are real.

[another Mr. Lizard]

Are there examples of artists/bands doing this for real? I played a Be Bop Deluxe box set over the weekend, and the author of the accompanying booklet notes reckons that the titles 'Axe Victim', 'Futurama' and 'Sunburst Finish' aptly describe a career arc for Bill Nelson ('Modern Music' and 'Drastic Plastic' arguably extending the concept).

[Bently Sheds]

1. Took 10 years

2. Took 10 months

3. Best of Bently Sheds (ep)

[Brundle-Fly]

1. We'll release these songs later on a scrappily pieced-together "album" of out-takes and "lost EPs" that in no way does justice to the fact that some of this stuff is actually pretty good (in fact, what is clearly the best track is available here only in the form of a piss-poor live recording).

2. Our album! Look, an actual, proper album! Behold! (Doesn't contain a decent studio version of the brilliant but badly recorded live track).

3. Yeah, we did another album, but our singer left halfway through, so we got another singer who wasn't as good. We might release this in 25 years.

_{NOTE: Album 1 is released after Album 2 but before Album 3.}
