Whether they are made up of leftover songs or they represent an experimental direction by an artist, EPs are always a nice gift to hold fans over between albums and the format has resulted in some true masterpieces. Now that we have debated the "perfect" album, share some thoughts on your favorite EPs.

Here are a few to start things off:

Alice in Chains Jar of Flies
Blind Melon Letters from a Porcupine
BRMC Howl Sessions
MMJ Chocolate and Ice
soft and warm all the time make you want it over and over

God will forgive them. He'll forgive them and allow them into Heaven.....I can't live with that.

That's awesome.  You make me want that!   Need more futurebirds!

SAP came to mind for me too Lucy Lew.

I love the ep:

Tame Impala - Anteras, Mira, Sun
Wax Fang - Black and Endless Nights
MMJ - Split (The radioooooooooo)
M. Ward - To Go Home single/ep   (Single but four great songs.)
Tool - Opiate
NIN - Broken and Fixed  (Woah, at that time?  Woah!)
Blue Giant - Target Heart
Primus - Miscellaneous Debris
Soundgarden - Screaming Life/Fopp
Black Mountain - Druganaut

Mabye best ever is Ryan Adams - Follow The Lights ep
I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

Off the top of my head:

MMJ: ____________
Futurebirds: s/t and Via Flamina
Fleet Foxes: Sun Giant
Alberta Cross: Rolling Thunder
Elvis Perkins in Dearland: the Doomsday EP
Broken Social Scene: To Be You and Me
Grizzly Bear: Friend EP
Iron and Wine: Woman King / In the Reins (w/Calexico)
Black Keys: Chulahoma
Melvins/Isis: Split

Unsure if they qualify: Radiohead: I Might Be Wrong / In Rainbows (Disc 2)

Currently digging: Michael Kiwanuka: I'm Getting Ready / Home Again / Tell Me a Tale (all on spotify)

I wish  there were more of these, EPs are great. I mean it would be cool to get 1 yearly by your fav bands, even if it's 4 songs. I always underestimate them and they end up being a really interesting way to take in a band...I think most metal EPs are pretty sweet.
Oh, I will dine on honey dew And drink the Milk of Paradiseeeee
