Recently on one of my go to sites for music news (absolutepunk.net) a discussion was started regarding people’s favorite EPs (extended play). I thought this was an interesting topic to ponder, as well as a great way to listen to some of my music catalog that I hadn’t in some time. I have decided to post my list of favorite EPs below, in no particular order, for those who would like to try some new bands out. And yes, I did get a little carried away… There are just so many good EPs it turns out. Most of these EPs were released before a full length (LP) and really got me interested in the particular band, others were just a supplement to an already impressive catalog of releases. I’m sure I have left out numerous EPs that I also enjoyed, these are just some of the first that came to mind. (There are links to the EPs on Spotify where available, just click on the album name)
