i thought it was Razz well i'm still kind of happy it is..if they would've kept on going it would've either been more great music or their decline at least they have a safe legacy and quit at the right time like the who/ccr did..
some groups just don't quit and keep releasing shitty music smh

George Harrison's Brain Washed is about as fine a final album as one could wish for.

Wow! I havent thought about Material Issue in ages. International Pop Overthrow was in heavy rotation in high school. I need to dig that disc out of the vault. Tragic story about their lead singer....

The last album released by Material Issue before Jim Ellison's death was FREAK CITY SOUNDTRACK which, for me, is their best album - about as good as power pop/rock gets. TELECOMMANDO AMERICANO is a collection of fairly polished demos recorded  several months before Ellison's suicide. Not as good as FREAK CITY (nor IPO), but a collection strong enough to confirm the band was still viable if unable to get a decent record deal.

LA Woman is my 2nd favorite Doors LP, after Morrison Hotel.  I really dug where they were going in the end; kinda paralleled the Stones with their blusier, more "American" LPs of that period.  Would have loved to see where they would have gone.  And I actually like "Other Voices" and "Full Circle"!  What can I say....

You can argue "Cry of Love" was Hendrix's last album proper, and its a goodun.
morrison hotel is my favorite doors album Smiley every single song was solid plus it has my favorite song "indian summer"
No, it doesn't.

"The Division Bell" by Pink Floyd is a good one, so is "Mystery Girl" by Roy Orbison. And there's "Abbey Road" of course.

But my very favorite? "Innuendo" by Queen (last album with Freddie alive). Solid album with great songs, the title track being possibly one of the best pieces of music ever made.

More love for Pink Moon here. I've shed the odd tear here and there whilst listening to it. I like the Smiley Smile comparison since the album doesn't feel like a natural progression from the first two; very minimalist and unadorned. Love it.

The only other ones I can really name are:
Synchronicity - The Police
Foot of the Mountain - a-ha
American IV - Johnny Cash (in his lifetime)

I second the Amy Winehouse, Smiths, VU Loaded, and Johnny Cash suggestions. Beatles is a good, if obvious choice. One of my all time favorites is the Zombies Odessey and Oracle. Talk about going out with a bang--a huge hit with "Time of the Season" plus an album full of AMAZING songs. I think it's admirable that they moved on despite having the biggest hit of their career.

Especially like the Lonely Sea feel of Wake Up Alone. Only got into Amy recently, never realised her talent...
