Which band's vinyl catalog is consistently great?

Pinebender!!! A criminally underrecognized Chicago band. Sort of a lumbering drum sound, but I dig it. Major props to Kevvwill for invoking them.

And speaking of the Pinebender recording that I mentioned, their label, Lovitt Records, still has some double-LP sets of it in stock. Not sure how many they have, but it's worth a pickup if you have a spare $25 lying around.

I should say that Pinebender is big, heavy rock, sort of like Nirvana at 16 1/2, rather than 33 rpm. It's magnificent, if that's your thing.

Shellac. Steve Albini is dedicated to good recorded sound quality, in the service of great music. He has been this way since the days of Big Black, but it has only been since his most recent project, and the big paydays attendant to working with big-name performers, that he has been able to afford the electronics and studio quality to make his dream a reality.

From Shellac's 45 rpm singles to its first disc, "At Action Park," the recording quality is absolutely spectacular. Albini manages to get the best recorded drum sound on record, bar none.

Discs from Shellac even come out on vinyl first, before any digital formats, and Albini was using 180-gram virgin vinyl long before it became the rage. It's worth looking them up.

Note also that when he gets a chance to work with performers at his Electrical Audio, the subsequent release also sounds extraordinary. He's worked his magic on Nirvana ("In Utero"), PJ Harvey ("Rid of Me") and my favorite Albini recording of all time (even worth getting on CD, since as far as I know, vinyl never existed), "Things Are About to Get Weird," by Pinebender. You will not hear better guitar and drum sound on a recording, period.

To boot, none of these are audiophile recordings, yet all sound spectacular.

XTC is also uniformly great.

Peter Gabriel post-Genesis.

As for bands, there was this one called Led Zeppelin. I'm not saying they're Genesis or anything...

CLUTCH has about seven wicked albums in a row. All except the first are recorded quite well. That's a band, in my opinion.

The Band

Neil Young's catalog is consistently great. Same for Joni Mitchell, and Van Morrison. Eric Clapton's live lp "Just One Night" is amazing

Mike Oldfield's is also excellent, but Virgin label's pressings often were noisy.

Roxy Music, Brian Eno, and Bryan Ferry Solo albums - at least Avalon, Bette Voir, Boys and Girls.

If you like their music (I really do) - King Crimson

Steve Hackett's solo work is great

The Pentangle, John Renbourn solo, and Bert Jansch solo stuff is all great.

If you want to talk Jazz - it opens up a whole lot. Anything on ECM is great. All of Miles Davis is great.

I agree with many of the citations above, and with the Genesis/Peter Gabriel citation, but I find the Genesis pressings are often really noisy (true of most Charisma Label stuff). Peter Gabriel's first solo LP was my favorite, but I amp always disappointed in the engineering on the LP.

Little Feat and Steely Dan always get a lot of time around my house...if you were a musician in the 70's you understand.

Genesis. The early stuff with Peter Gabriel was fantastic.

The trifecta for me back in the day on vinyl (70's -90's) are:
10cc and anything by Godley and Creme
Supertramp
Steely Dan
and I'll throw in The Cars too.

Procol Harum for the most part anyway save perhaps their earliest lp or so.

Caravan is another similar.

Camel, Kayak and Klaatu and The Cars also come to mind.

I suppose The Moody Blues qualify as well though the sound of many of teh classic 7 albums are somewhat atypical compared to what many might consider to be great sound.

Genesis for the most part also starting with Trespass though some of theirs ATTWT and later started to become less consistent.

Yes mostly , at least up until Relayer and including Drama.

Lots of variables when you discuss multiple releases from one artist but IMO:

Steely Dan
Chris Isaak
Dire Straits
Peter Gabriel
ZZ Top
REM
Mary Black
Alan Parsons
Radiohead
Talking Heads
Porcupine Tree
Robin Trower

Agree with Dire Straits. I'll add for artists:

Steely Dan

Agree with MOFI. I'll add for Labels:

Music on Vinyl

The Creedence Clearwater Revival repressings from Analogue Productions are extremely well done.

Dire Straits
