Favorite EP's

We love to talk about how awesome this album or that album is, but how about EP's?

Some of my favorites include:

"Raygun" - Matthew Good Band
"Vaya" - At the Drive-In
"Arcade Fire" - Arcarde Fire (I like the version of No Cars Go on this way more than on Neon Bilble)
"Austere" - Sparta
"The Decilne" - NoFX (though I've never been clear if this counts as an EP or a single)
"Tremulant" - The Mars Volta
"My Iron Lung" - Radiohead

What are yours?
Which came first,
the bad idea or me befallen by it?

    If we're counting Merkinball as an EP (I thought it was considered a single :o), then add that to my afore mentioned list.

    Hold steady-live at fingerprints sort of a cop out but since bladworth116 said the lanegan record I'm good.

    Jar of Flies is a no-brainer... The Radiohead Eps have all been good, (except for Com Lag, which sucked pretty hard).

    It has always surpised me more artists don't embrace the Ep as a way of getting music out, especially in the Internet era, where the Album is really almost obsolete.

    I would love to get 4-7 songs every 6-9 months from a band, rather than waiting around for a record...

    I am going to go ahead and just blame the labels for this like everything else wrong with the music industry.
    The Man has a branch office in each of our brains, his corporate emblem is a white albatross, each local rep has a cover known as the Ego, and their mission in this world is Bad Shit.
