List 5 bands with more than 5 Masterpieces

It was not clear that you expected us to list the albums at first, but I will edit my post when I have time to choose the albums that I think are masterpieces, though in a way one could question if a band can have multiple masterpieces, as it can mean the very best work of an artist (that said, with various bands I have rated a number of albums by tthe same band 5 stars -- i.e. masterpiece -- question of semantics).

 Anyway,  with your changes to the first post,  I'm now trying to think hard about some bands which have  five masterpieces which are not excellent, not essential, and are not even any good -- i.e. bands with really bad masterpeices (just a little joke about miscommunication/ misunderstandings as I do understand what you mean).

And !!!

By the way, in the title you say you want ones with MORE than five masterpieces.

Can: -Monster Movie -Tago Mago -Ege Bamyasi -Future Days -Soon Over Babaluma King Crimson (haters etc) -In the Court -Lizard -Islands -Lark's Tongues -Starless and Bible Black Pink Floyd (see above) -Saucerful of Secrets -Ummagumma -Atom Heart Mother -Meddle -Obscured By Clouds edit: Oh and TD's first 7 are masterpieces, of course Jethro Tull, Isis, Neurosis, Primus, Boris (f**k y'all they so prog), Swans (likewise), Agalloch (if you count EPs), Opeth, and Kayo Dot also come to mind. I could have listed some crazier bands but decided to mostly stick to what more people listen to.

I think your criteria for "masterpiece" is a bit too loose, man.

Interesting topic...

I think just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's not somebody else's slice of perfection.

When we use the term masterpiece in this Forum,we have to be careful... God is watching us and givesus warning when we rate a cd or use this term. Only god can tell what is a masterpiece. It's looks like every one are picking their choice of masterpiece based on what band they like and why not? Is their some masterpiece on which we can all agree on.I only want some mastepiece that i enjoy myself, and hopefully others too. But the more music you listen in different genre, the more you can feel what's  a masterpiece. To me a mastepiece is a cd's that you can enjoy many times on a couple of decade and more... But how can i judge if a cd is a masterpiece from a kind of music that i don't like...

Miles Davis-Porgy and Bess,  Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain, In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew.

I don't think there are such bands. Not for me at least.

Indeed, I like many (most, actually) of them. That doesn't mean that every single one of those albums is a masterpiece.
