Albums worthy of receiving their own TV Tropes article?

Well said, Odd1.

Meanwhile I've noticed that Duran Duran's The Wedding Album is up: Pink Floyd's back catalogue is finished and I just did the same for The Beatles by adding Please Please Me and With the Beatles: they still need some crosswicking and additional tropes, but I've to go now. Will be something for later... Also added Rastaman Vibration by Bob Marley.

Are you saying the existence of many useless articles on TV Tropes is a good reason to create more useless articles?

He's saying that you're the minority for considering any of them "useless".

Being in a minority is sometimes comforting.

OK so I'm going a bit off topic, I don't really think Flume's self-titled needs (or even should have) an article, but I'm surprised Flume himself doesn't already have a page.

Like damn

Just finished The Rolling Stones. That is, their debut album. Also, Smiley Smile by The Beach Boys and Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane.

Also, be sure to vote "Yes" for Album/ on this page:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13345901180A51310200&page=18#446

Just finished the entire studio Stones discography of the Brian Jones era with The Rolling Stones No. 2. There's still the matter of dealing with their EP's (or EP's in general), and more tropes must be added, particularly on their first 3 albums.

Now I'm free to finish off their studio discography with Mick Taylor, as well as other artists.

Well, the crowner has decided no on the creation of a namespace for Album/.., despite an equal amount of tropers being for and against the matter.

I've written down my own personal opinion here, feel free to write your own (even if you disagree)

And we welcome some new albums added to our list:

Thanks to bluesno1fann, Mr Matt, Mark Lungo, TrustBen and Nightspectre for their contributions.

Also thanks to Flaming Sword Of Doom for adding the discography by Adam and the Ants and Adam Ant as well.

The writeup for Pure Heroine is pretty good, but the last entry can do with just a chunk of the lyrics (posting them in their entirety is technically a copyright violation) and the caption underneath the album cover is completely redundant.

I went and fixed it myself. (Yay me.) There's still a few entries I'm gonna try and get around to eventually, but they're mostly older and I'm aiming more for recent stuff first. Nothing against classic rock but it's weighted that way like crazy, in part my own doing.

Just added Jefferson Airplane Takes Off. Was gonna finish it yesterday, but as I was putting down the finishing touches I accidentally turned off the damn computer, losing everything.

Did you do any for The Rolling Stones?

The Stones are what I've been mainly doing. Aside from Banquet, Sticky Fingers and Exile (as well as the 3 post-Wyman albums that haven't been done yet), I've done all of them. In fact, just now I created a page for Brian Jones.

Still just gotta watch out for those Zero Context Examples. Just listing the song title there doesn't give any context. It's great that you're doing all these articles, but don't sacrifice quality for the sake of quantity Once again, though we really appreciate that you're doing these articles. (Especially considering I don't know much about most of the albums you've done.)

Finally just completed the studio discography for The Rolling Stones with Bridges to Babylon and A Bigger Bang.

Great work! bluesno1fann

Exhausted after creating three album articles in a relatively short space of time. Barrett by Syd Barrett, Odessey and Oracle by The Zombies and For Your Love by The Yardbirds. Surprisingly enough, they came out pretty well, though For Your Love could use a few more tropes.

Nice job on behalf of bluesno1fann

Meanwhile alternative rock fans rejoice, for another Tom Waits album has been added, Blue Valentine, as well as the Captain Beefheart album Shiny Beast.

edited 19th Jan '15 3:20:52 PM by Patachou

I'd say a few of The Cure's albums deserve their own pages- most especially Pornography and Disintegration, but any of their other albums from the 80s could be eligible for it. Also, a few Depeche Mode albums should get pages as well- Violator being chief among them, of course...

One of these days I'm gonna get around to filling in more Todd Rundgren albums. I don't think he really counts as alternative rock so much as "deliberate pop weirdo".

• Todd by Todd Rundgren
• Faithful by Todd Rundgren
• Nearly Human by Todd Rundgren
• RA by Utopia

1) OK, first: the new albums created since our last recap. At this point all of Tom Waits' albums before he went avantgarde have their own page now.

• Coat of Many Colors by Dolly Parton.
• Drums of Passion by Babatunde Olatunji.
• The Grand Wazoo by Frank Zappa.
• Guitar by Frank Zappa.
• Having a Rave Up by The Yardbirds.
• Heartattack and Vine by Tom Waits
• HIStory: Past, Present, and Future -- Book I by Michael Jackson
• Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
• The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest.
• More Songs About Buildings and Food by Talking Heads.
• Nighthawks at the Diner by Tom Waits
• Return to Cookie Mountain by TV on the Radio.
• Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar by Frank Zappa.
• Tourist by St Germain.
• Waka/Jawaka by Frank Zappa.

With thanks to TrustBen, VicGeorge2011, bluesno1fann and myself, of course.

2) Second, @ sharkcrap 11: The Cure and Depeche Mode definitely deserve pages for some of their albums. Would you consider creating some of them?

3) Third, @ Mr. Matt: It's great that you show initiative to create pages for all the albums you suggest above. Particularly "Dirt" (Alice in Chains), "Singles Going Steady" (The Buzzcocks), "Band Of Gypsies" (Jimi Hendrix) have been in demand for a while now. And I was planning on adding "Ella & Louis" myself, but if you want to create, feel free to do so. I have one request, though, we still need The College Dropout by Kanye West too. Since you seem to like his work could you create an article for that album first, before "Eight Zero Eights and Heartbreak"? And by Aretha Franklin the albums I Never Loved A Man The Way I Loved You and Lady Soul have been on our wish list for some time. Two other albums we would prefer to be created first?

Many thanks beforehand.
