Only one album immediately springs to mind, and that is Bowie’s Blackstar. I honestly can’t think of another off the top of my head. The next two to mind are Bowie’s contemporaries, Lou Reed and Iggy Pop - but while I love Lulu and Free, and would put them in my top five albums from those artists, they’re probably not my favourite album (which is how I assume “best” is meant to be taken, and why it is inverted commas). Taking a quick glance through my CDs, I can add only four: Anathema - The Optimist The Jean-Paul Sartre Experience - Bleeding Star 22 - You Are Creating 3Ds - Strange News from the Angels Well, I could add more if I included bands and artists with only one or two albums to their name, but that would seem to somewhat defeat the purpose of the exercise. It would also be quite easy if I included what is presently the last album released by a band or artist, because in a lot of cases, the most recent album released is my favourite - but so long as the band is still active, chances are that it’s not really the last album. Even if an album seems to have been the last released, there is really no way of knowing if the band or artist might decide to come back. I found half a dozen albums, for example, that would have been my favourite last albums, had the bands not come back with new material years afterwards. Alice In Chains - “Tripod” At the Drive In - Relationship of Command Crowded House - Together Alone Faith No More - Album of the Year Screaming Trees - Dust Soundgarden - Down on the Upside |

Sadly a case of too many psychedelics.

Many have said Bowie, and even though I have hardly heard any whole album from him (except Black Star), I have heard some compilations and live albums, and sort of checked out from which albums the songs come from and so on, and it wouldnl't surprise me one bit if Black Star ended being my favourite whole album from him (though there are indeed songs from other albums that I like better than any song on Black Star). As for other artists, I can hardly think of anyone whose last album would be my very favourite, but there are many whose last album has been very good indeed.
