Great Commercial Suicide Albums
May 11, 2011, 10:43
What are your favourite albums where the band wilfully threw it all away? Deliberately or otherwise left the fans behind, but oh what a glorious crash into flames.

There are differences here about how much the band was throwing away, how big they were, or seemed to be destined to be, before artistic integrity took its terrible toll but you get the idea. Or just madness, "What the fuck were they thinking?"

Never had much time for Guns & Roses but they must be serial offenders in the just mad throwing it all away category. Along with Stone Roses.

Spooky Tooths' Ceremony is a fave of mine. And Dog Man Star by Suede.

Bet MGMT were popular at Colombia when they presented Oracular Spectacular.

Although Fleetwood Mac were not sunk by Tusk, I would have loved to see the faces of the Warner Bros execs when they presented it to them.

Must be better and more entertaining examples than these.
