For the most part, I like them. Some artists are better than others with EPs. They Might Be Giants was always great at creating an art form out of the EP. Lots of top-quality songs that didn't quite fit other things, but somehow fit each other perfectly. Belle & Sebastian also put out some great EPs - rather than the hit single and filler, they're all unreleased songs.

They're great for the prolific artists who write more stuff than they can release.

Okay, I'll be brave. I voted that I hate them. My best music listening time is long road trips. Six songs doesn't even get me across a county hardly. They probably make great demos, but I find that the artists that I really want to listen to have a great deal of diversity in and tons to say with their music. I'm not generally finished listening after 4-7 songs, unless it's someone terrible...

EPs still sell, but I don't think they're that professional. When I think EP I think Demo or someone who doesn't want to shell out the cash for the album. A album is a wonderful thing, but you still need to get cash and recognition.

Make a EP if you'd like, or why not just a live demo?
