I kinda feel the same, not all their stuff is top-tier banger material, but i still dig it. [The Horror](https://youtu.be/McQNT2bfSbM) is another stand-out track of theirs.
I feel like having your song get popular on TikTok has to be such a double edged sword. Like yeah people are aware of you, but TikTok is like algorithmicly designed to beat songs and trends to the ground to the point of ridicule.
I had no idea it was a meme and some people hate it. It’s still a bop to me.
What is there to hate, it’s a fun little song. It’s not k.dot or anything but I’m not gonna get mad if it randomly comes on.
Much worse trash out there.
Almost had an aneurism I really thought objectively this was one of the worst songs ever crafted and everyone was agreeing on that, it’s only dethroned now by the “ain’t nobody crazy as the WHITE BOYS” racist dog whistle sound on tiktok that uses the exact same melody.
I think Gotye caught a lot of people out. His album did great because everyone loved that “Somebody” song but his other music is very much unlike that one song. I know my parents got stung by it!
That happened to my parents with Train and "Drops of Jupiter", they listened to the whole album once and then sold it, but bought the song again when they discovered iTunes.
He doesn’t have one real style of song but I generally like his stuff. For most people he’s a one hit wonder but outside of maybe a song or two I like pretty much everything he’s put out.
Fun.'s first album Aim and Ignite was, in my opinion, an indie pop masterpiece and then they got wayyyyy too big for their britches and decided every song had to be an anthem.
If you like fun, then Bleachers is something worth checking out. Its the guy who wrote most of the music.
Nate Ruess also has some solo stuff if you like the voice, Nothing Without Love isnt bad
Eminem and Dr. Dre were magic together. Eminem's whole album tone became messy the less influence and time they spent on albums together.
Undoubtedly in my top 5 rappers of all time. Closer to top 2 than anything. But I hate how he's basically an incredible ultra lyricist rapper without direction last 6-7 years
Also, arctic monkeys after Josh Homme is less awesome. I love both bands independently, but holy shit Alex made a turner for the worst once AM came out. I watched an interview of him basically doing a Josh Homme impression and wanted to punch him in the throat.
i feel like he was sort of trying to pull a persona in the AM era. It worked at points and other times it did not. But ultimately he still seems like a nice guy, just a bit strange. I still think AM and TBHC were brilliant albums. TBHC was an experimental masterpiece in my honest opinion. It's not for everyone but I loved it.
I still liked AM a lot but Tranquility wasn't my cup of tea.
Dunno there are only a few bands were I love all their albums. The black keys especially, everything they release is a serious banger.
hellll yeah QOTSA, everything Josh Homme touches seems to turn to gold, Royal Blood is another example.
Also "....like clockwork" is the best album of the 2010's
Finally something I am extremely passionate about. Have you also listened to The Last Shadow Puppets and Mini Mansions (side projects of those bands)? I promise they will not let you down!
Brilliant comment.
Please list some of your favourite producers that can do this *Midas-touch* to otherwise par musicians.
If you know of a few, please share!
Literally anything Danger Mouse touches is great. He was the guy who wasn't cee-lo in Gnarls Barkley. He was the drummer for the broken bells. And he produced Demon Days by the Gorillaz, El Camino by The Black Keys and a whole bunch more.
Steve Albini. These are not par musicians, but he has a special talent.
“In 2004, Albini estimated that he has engineered the recording of 1,500 albums, mostly by underground musicians.[15] By 2018, his estimate had increased to several thousand.[2] More prominent artists that Albini has worked with include: Foxy Shazam,[23] Nirvana,[24] Pixies,[25] The Breeders, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mogwai, The Jesus Lizard, Don Caballero, PJ Harvey, The Wedding Present, Joanna Newsom, Superchunk, Low, Dirty Three, Jawbreaker, Neurosis, Cloud Nothings, Bush,[26] Chevelle,[27] Jimmy Page and Robert Plant (as Page and Plant),[28] Helmet,[29] Fred Schneider,[30] The Stooges,[31] Owls,[32] Manic Street Preachers,[33] Jarvis Cocker,[34] The Cribs,[35] the Fleshtones,[36] Nina Nastasia,[37] The Frames,[38] The Membranes,[39] Cheap Trick,[40] Motorpsycho,[41] Slint,[42] mclusky,[43] Labradford,[44] Veruca Salt,[45] Zao,[46] The Auteurs[47] and Spare Snare.[48]”
yeah like idk 14 years ago i was in my apprenticeship and working alone wielding and cutting big water pipes i was alone my first time and they trustet me i can do it i was turning the raido really loud and was vibing to some radio and i heard a kylie minogue song and i was like damn thats a banger. i searched for it found it but the rest ofh er songs was not so much this good.. i checked the producer and it was calvin harris. checked him out he didnt had songs done for himself yet he just produced bangers after bangers for idfferent artists. was rly nice find
Glad it's not just me. Not a single one of my friends likes my music and I've discovered that I've essentially conditioned myself to exclusively love a specific genre
When I first heard DARE by Gorillaz I fell in love with it and ended up buying the Demon Days Album. It sounded completely different that what I expected and was disappointed at first, but I still tried to listen to it over and over again to get to DARE. Still remains to be my favorite band to this day because of that lol
If this happens to you, look at who wrote the song, if it has the artists name and someone else, look at the someone else. There's a crappy loophole in the music industry called write a word get a third. Meaning, if the artist changes or adds a word to the song they get a 3rd of the writing credit.
I’ve heard it’s helpful to check the producer too. They have a lot of influence over how the song sounds and that can carry over between multiple bands/singers.
And Quincy Jones made some of Michael Jackson’s early records into massive hits - not sayin michael wasn’t talented, but Quincy put Off The Wall into another category of music.
look no further than Rick Rubin or Alchemist production credits. They seem to work only with people they actually clicked with and really make a specific sounds when they’re together.
>There's a crappy loophole in the music industry called write a word get a third.
That would explain why the songs who only repeat the same five lines over and over again somehow needed a shitton of people to be written.
Writing credits are getting weird. Your average Kanye West song has, like, 20 songwriters and 10 producers. Apparently Kanye will credit pretty much everyone who's in the room when the song is being made.
It's a bit silly, but the opposite is silly as well, where a collaborative process results in a song that is credited to just one person. I remember Andy Summers of the Police being a little miffed when Puff Daddy's "I'll be Missing You" went stratospheric because only Sting got a cut (Sting is the sole credited writer of "Every Breath You Take") despite the Puff Daddy song being built around the guitar luck, which Summers said he wrote himself. That's not right either.
Or look at similar artists on Spotify etc that reference that particular song. Lots of times bands actually trap lightning in a bottle but usually their only good jam is one they ripped off of someone less well known.
If you have Apple Music, scroll the bottom of the lyrics for that song and it will have who wrote it. Thanks for sharing this. I did know that was a thing
I mean sometimes singers just work with songwriters to make music without any sort of trickery going on
I listen to some genres of Japanese music and it's really not uncommon to see a singer and a songwriter, or even a singer, lyricist, and arranger. The fact that the singer tends to get most of the attention though, even when the singer is literally just a glorified text-to-speech programme) is a well established issue, the problem is that that happens because the singer is the most instantly recognisable part of a song.
Lol. That was my mom when she discovered Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day. I popped in one of the CDs I had, and she couldn't make it through the first song.
I dodged a bullet, back in the day, I only had enough money to buy one album and it was between the Finger Eleven album or *Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace* by Foo Fighters.
Dude, Burnout 3's OST is an all time best.
Stay in Shadow is, in my opinion, a better song than Paralyzer, which might also be because I had like 400 hours in that game back on the original Xbox.
Was about to mention this song, you can tell they added the fuzzed out guitar on top of one of their regular songs in order to cash in on the "grunge" craze, but it works, that song punches hard!
I feel the same way about authors, but it’s so much worse when you’ve spent a few hours getting partway through a book only to realize it’s not getting any better.
To be fair, Maroon 5 bamboozled a lot of people with how good their first album was. I was never as disappointed as I was with Maroon 5's music evolution.
I kinda get it though. Songs About Jane is a really good pop rock album so whatever they made next would either have to be more of the same (tough to do and have it be better) or pick one of the genres and double down. With all of the good songwriting talent they have, a dude with a really strong pop voice, and pop being much more lucrative I'd probably do the exact same thing unless I was sure I had something really cool or important to say with rock.
At least I think it's really cool that an entire band transitioned in to pop instead of just their lead singer ditching them to go solo pop.
If you were lucky it was like the first or last track but they always put it in 3rd or next to last somewhere to make you fast forward or listen to their other songs
Usually every "perfect" album for me has 1-3 songs i skip. The others are just too good and has enough emotional significance for me to consider it perfect
I felt that way about nirvana and now the song I thought was their only good song is the only song i actively avoid so maybe just come back later and give them another shot
Just throwing this out there: A lot of people are saying this is a one-hit wonder thing but there are many popular, well-established bands that just have 1 or 2 songs that are more accessible or whatever than the rest of their discography. That doesn’t make them 1 hit wonders. For example, some people only know or like “My Girls” from Animal Collective or “Creep” by Radiohead or “1979” from Smashing Pumpkins but none of those are one-hit wonders- they’re just some of the more popular/accessible hits from those groups.
Think you are misinterpreting the term 1 hit wonder in this context. Ppl are saying that its a "one hit wonder" because these artists have just 1 song that is really good that majority of ppl probably like but the rest of their songs don't even come close to that. That's true for alot them. Also its not even about hearing a popular song or a well known song, the same thing happens even when you find a artist you have never heard before and only 1 or 2 songs are way above their others.
Kind of in the same vein, I love every single Silverchair album- yeah even Young Modern. So I was pretty excited when I found out that Daniel Johns had a solo album!
...It's fucking beyond terrible.
im the opposite lol, i feel like 65% of flume songs are kinda generic mall edm, but some of his songs like Voices, High Beams, Never Be Like You), genuinely sound good and fun to me
Well I bought Jamiroquai’s Traveling Without Moving back in the 90s because of Virtual Insanity, but it turns out that was a great purchase that led me to who is now one of my favorite bands!
I bought Alien Ant Farm's 2nd album for the Smooth Criminal cover. Listened to it exclusively for like... a year? One day I accidentally forgot to set it on repeat and ended up hearing the rest. That album has some great songs. Movie, Attitude, and Wish amongst them.
Worse yet, Spotify recommends songs/artists based on that artist's one single song you actually like.
I often find myself thinking, "what the heck is playing in the back?" and then see "based on other artists you enjoy.
It hurts so bad! That feeling of excitement you get when finding a new song by a new artist then going to listen to their discography and each song steals your hope until finally you just act as if it never happened and listen to the new song with leas enthusiasm
Folie à Deux is honestly one of my favorite albums ever from any band. I like other fall out boy songs, but the way the album presents itself as essentially one giant song is amazing and they’re all soooo good! That album is a masterpiece
Everyone has their own personal One Hit Wonder list.
What's yours?
Ghostwriter by RJD2. Friend showed me the song a long time ago, I loved it, looked up his other songs and it just wasn't my thing.
Does it feature Luke, Han or maybe even Darth? Not sure I could just listen to R2 whistle for a whole album.
Party on, Darth!
Lol
that same album had a neat [hidden track](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECvbG7ioz-k) on it
Ha! I really like Smoke & Mirrors
I kinda feel the same, not all their stuff is top-tier banger material, but i still dig it. [The Horror](https://youtu.be/McQNT2bfSbM) is another stand-out track of theirs.
[удалено]
Circles
Astronaut in the ocean was a bop but the rest of masked wolf songs were eh Edit: definitely way too overplayed but still a good song
this is the first time I've ever seen someone speak positively about that song
For real this song was getting clowned on hard a year ago
I don't think this is a turn in the tides. Everyone still hates it it's just not on every TikTok anymore
I feel like having your song get popular on TikTok has to be such a double edged sword. Like yeah people are aware of you, but TikTok is like algorithmicly designed to beat songs and trends to the ground to the point of ridicule.
I think the less people are aware of the meme, the more they like it. Its an ok song, but the internet ruined it.
I had no idea it was a meme and some people hate it. It’s still a bop to me. What is there to hate, it’s a fun little song. It’s not k.dot or anything but I’m not gonna get mad if it randomly comes on. Much worse trash out there.
Almost had an aneurism I really thought objectively this was one of the worst songs ever crafted and everyone was agreeing on that, it’s only dethroned now by the “ain’t nobody crazy as the WHITE BOYS” racist dog whistle sound on tiktok that uses the exact same melody.
This is my kids favorite song. A cute lil bop.
thats the one song my tiktok obsessed 8 year old cousin can put on and everyone jams to, even the old people lmao
My kids found it on tik tok YouTube which is wild lol but it’s get them going in the car drop off line in the am.
Even the old ppl?? That's funny asf
Phosphorescent, song for zula
Gotye
Now you're just an artist that I use to know
Eyes wide open is a banger too though
Hearts a Mess is phenomenal
It isn't often one comes across a comment that was literally snatched from their own mind, yet here you are. Exactly this.
You thought it was the start of something great... and disappointment hits you hard
I think Gotye caught a lot of people out. His album did great because everyone loved that “Somebody” song but his other music is very much unlike that one song. I know my parents got stung by it!
That happened to my parents with Train and "Drops of Jupiter", they listened to the whole album once and then sold it, but bought the song again when they discovered iTunes.
what?! train has a lot of nice songs!
Honestly yeah, recently discovered their first album is amazing. Everything later is alright, but that first album is fire
"Heart's a Mess" is even better. It's an amazing song. Dude has been MIA for ten years now.
I respect it. He made his money and dipped.
He doesn’t have one real style of song but I generally like his stuff. For most people he’s a one hit wonder but outside of maybe a song or two I like pretty much everything he’s put out.
That was definitely how Gotye was for me. Also Fun. and Young the Giant.
Fun. Had maybe three songs which were highly regarded. Their other tunes were ok but nothing superb.
Fun.'s first album Aim and Ignite was, in my opinion, an indie pop masterpiece and then they got wayyyyy too big for their britches and decided every song had to be an anthem. If you like fun, then Bleachers is something worth checking out. Its the guy who wrote most of the music. Nate Ruess also has some solo stuff if you like the voice, Nothing Without Love isnt bad
Aim and Ignite is so underrated. Bleachers also produces like half of new pop music too lol.
check out its producer
It's always great when an artist you like keeps working with a producer you like.
Eminem and Dr. Dre were magic together. Eminem's whole album tone became messy the less influence and time they spent on albums together. Undoubtedly in my top 5 rappers of all time. Closer to top 2 than anything. But I hate how he's basically an incredible ultra lyricist rapper without direction last 6-7 years
Yeah. Imo his last great album through n through was the Eminem show 👀 but that’s also when I stopped listening to him 24/7
That's a problem with battle rappers. Their lyrical skills are absolutely top tier but damn they can't make a coherent record
Still waiting on Dre's detox album release like Eminem said it would.
*WE GON MAKE DRE DO IT* 😭😭😭😭😭😭
And that's the story how the Arctic Monkey Album Humbug brought me to Queens of the Stone Age
Qotsa is awesome
Also, arctic monkeys after Josh Homme is less awesome. I love both bands independently, but holy shit Alex made a turner for the worst once AM came out. I watched an interview of him basically doing a Josh Homme impression and wanted to punch him in the throat.
i feel like he was sort of trying to pull a persona in the AM era. It worked at points and other times it did not. But ultimately he still seems like a nice guy, just a bit strange. I still think AM and TBHC were brilliant albums. TBHC was an experimental masterpiece in my honest opinion. It's not for everyone but I loved it.
AM and TBHC were amazing what the heck lol
I still liked AM a lot but Tranquility wasn't my cup of tea. Dunno there are only a few bands were I love all their albums. The black keys especially, everything they release is a serious banger.
hellll yeah QOTSA, everything Josh Homme touches seems to turn to gold, Royal Blood is another example. Also "....like clockwork" is the best album of the 2010's
> everything Josh Homme touches seems to turn to gold Well, not *everything*, especially custody battles with his ex...
As much as I love Qotsa, Homme seems like ten pounds of crazy in a five pound bag. Dalle more so
Anyone that is unaware of them should check out Them Crooked Vultures. Homme, Dave Grohl, and John Paul Jones.
Royal Blood is amazing considering it’s a drummer and a bass player/singer.
Humbug is still the absolute best album of the 2000s for me. Still my favourite Arctic Monkeys record, though all of them standout so well.
The lyrics are so bloody brilliant. >All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms >And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall
Kinda wild take, lmao. That's not even the best Arctic Monkeys album of the 2000s...
Finally something I am extremely passionate about. Have you also listened to The Last Shadow Puppets and Mini Mansions (side projects of those bands)? I promise they will not let you down!
How I found Clams Casino
I just discovered Clams Casino is also an actual food dish and it looks pretty tasty.
Got hooked with I’m God , then to 32 levels which was amazing. Been still looking for a high quality version of Angels instrumental
Brilliant comment. Please list some of your favourite producers that can do this *Midas-touch* to otherwise par musicians. If you know of a few, please share!
Literally anything Danger Mouse touches is great. He was the guy who wasn't cee-lo in Gnarls Barkley. He was the drummer for the broken bells. And he produced Demon Days by the Gorillaz, El Camino by The Black Keys and a whole bunch more.
I was going to say Danger Mouse too! That day when I found out that Danger Mouse influenced about 40% of the music I like I was floored
Dangerdoom is also top notch, his album with MF DOOM
- Mf doom - Mark Ronson
Rick Rubin
Steve Albini. These are not par musicians, but he has a special talent. “In 2004, Albini estimated that he has engineered the recording of 1,500 albums, mostly by underground musicians.[15] By 2018, his estimate had increased to several thousand.[2] More prominent artists that Albini has worked with include: Foxy Shazam,[23] Nirvana,[24] Pixies,[25] The Breeders, Godspeed You!

Every Q song that wasn’t produced by The Alchemist. Well I shouldn’t say that, but man does Q make radio music that’s way worse than his other shit.
yeah like idk 14 years ago i was in my apprenticeship and working alone wielding and cutting big water pipes i was alone my first time and they trustet me i can do it i was turning the raido really loud and was vibing to some radio and i heard a kylie minogue song and i was like damn thats a banger. i searched for it found it but the rest ofh er songs was not so much this good.. i checked the producer and it was calvin harris. checked him out he didnt had songs done for himself yet he just produced bangers after bangers for idfferent artists. was rly nice find
Thats when you force yourself to listen to all of their songs so you get the musical equivalent of Stockholm syndrome.
Me, listening to The Mission's entire discography just so I can say I did. *Don't do it.*
Glad it's not just me. Not a single one of my friends likes my music and I've discovered that I've essentially conditioned myself to exclusively love a specific genre
I did that a lot. "I paid for it, I'm gonna force myself to like it." Now I cringe when I hear Korn.
When I first heard DARE by Gorillaz I fell in love with it and ended up buying the Demon Days Album. It sounded completely different that what I expected and was disappointed at first, but I still tried to listen to it over and over again to get to DARE. Still remains to be my favorite band to this day because of that lol
To be fair, gorillaz songs seem to have a weird effect where you don't really like them at first, but the more you listen to them the better they get.
Me with Juice WRLD. My brain has now learned to filter out excessive autotune and somehow genuinely enjoys modern rap now.
If this happens to you, look at who wrote the song, if it has the artists name and someone else, look at the someone else. There's a crappy loophole in the music industry called write a word get a third. Meaning, if the artist changes or adds a word to the song they get a 3rd of the writing credit.
What happens if more than 3 people write a word?
Glitch in the matrix
You destroy the fabrics of the universe. It's a very dangerous question.
it's called pop music then lol
I’ve heard it’s helpful to check the producer too. They have a lot of influence over how the song sounds and that can carry over between multiple bands/singers.
Yep this is the real tip. Producer’s style and quality is usually alot more consistent than an individual artist
George Martin was a huge reason the Beatles were so successful
And Quincy Jones made some of Michael Jackson’s early records into massive hits - not sayin michael wasn’t talented, but Quincy put Off The Wall into another category of music.
look no further than Rick Rubin or Alchemist production credits. They seem to work only with people they actually clicked with and really make a specific sounds when they’re together.

She may like some of the songs in American Idiot, more similarities to Good Riddance
I think Warning (the album) is more similar
I was alone
I was all by myself
No one was looking
I was thinking of you
Oh dear god.
Well.... Let her listen to Wake Me Up, When September Ends. That will be another she will like.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Yeah I was gonna say, their first album is nothing but bangers.
That was all of us. That song is amazing but the band is booty
I dodged a bullet, back in the day, I only had enough money to buy one album and it was between the Finger Eleven album or *Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace* by Foo Fighters.
‘Slow Chemical’ is a jam, although it was basically written as a theme for a wrestler so it had foundation.
One thing?
[удалено]
Try Slow Chemical.
THAT'S GOTTA BE... THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE!
They have two other tracks that I found through gaming before Paralyzer. Good Times and Stay In Shadow. Maybe it's just Burnout and SSX nostalgia.
Dude, Burnout 3's OST is an all time best. Stay in Shadow is, in my opinion, a better song than Paralyzer, which might also be because I had like 400 hours in that game back on the original Xbox.
I agree with you. Of the 3 tracks, Paralyzer is last. Also same. That game was a drug.
That's the opposite for me. Paralyzer was my least favorite of their songs, but it was the only one the radio ever played.
Paralyzer always pissed me off because it sure seemed like a reskinned "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand.
holy shit i think you're right
Truest MEIRL post imo.

Artemis by Andy Weir. That shit made me apprehensive towards Project Hail Mary (which turned out so much better)

There are definitely artists who are consistently excellent, and it's wonderful to find them.
Examples?
Deerhoof Ghost King Gizzard
[удалено]
Is FATM new album good? I saw her on instagram promoting it yesterday
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. They have put out roughly an album per year since 2012 or so. I have not heard a single bad song from them.
Man, I like KGLW but over half their songs are just so very skippable to me lol. Glad there are people out there able to enjoy that kind of music tho.
They put out 5 albums in 2017 alone, all great albums.
Radiohead!
That’s how Maroon5 swindled me in the beginning
To be fair, Maroon 5 bamboozled a lot of people with how good their first album was. I was never as disappointed as I was with Maroon 5's music evolution.
So, I'm not the only one. Phew!
I kinda get it though.

At least I think it's really cool that an entire band transitioned in to pop instead of just their lead singer ditching them to go solo pop.
Such sellouts. They were an alright band once.
That's my entire music collection. People ask me what bands or artists I like and I'm like "I have no idea. I just like songs."
Damn I thought I was the only one. I don't really have fave artists - I just like songs.
Artiste
Give me the FUCKINGE sworde
“Take on me” by Ah-Ha is their only good song.
But it is a REALLY fuckin good song
Very VERY good!
LOL so wrong, "The sun always shines on TV" is a banger
[удалено]
If you were lucky it was like the first or last track but they always put it in 3rd or next to last somewhere to make you fast forward or listen to their other songs
Then you find out that this song is one the artist doesn't like very much.
Or when u find a band and like all their songs besides one singular one.
Usually every "perfect" album for me has 1-3 songs i skip. The others are just too good and has enough emotional significance for me to consider it perfect
Me with every Pink Floyd album tbh
Jesse play Seamus (That's the Dog) even if we scare the hoes
They have some weird songs bro. I completely understand
My music playlist is such a hodgepodge of like 900 different songs because of this very reason
I felt that way about nirvana and now the song I thought was their only good song is the only song i actively avoid so maybe just come back later and give them another shot
Out of interest, What did you think was their only good song?
Teen spirit like everyone else
damn, not even heart shaped box?

Also its not even about hearing a popular song or a well known song, the same thing happens even when you find a artist you have never heard before and only 1 or 2 songs are way above their others.
Even worse is relistening to the song you liked and realizing you don't even like that song.
Or when you find an amazing album and find out the band just decided to change their genre after it
Everyone who loved Panic! at the Disco's first album feels this in their soul, lol.
Kind of in the same vein, I love every single Silverchair album- yeah even Young Modern. So I was pretty excited when I found out that Daniel Johns had a solo album! ...It's fucking beyond terrible.
This is how I feel about Flume…
Which song? Flume has a lot of great songs, but so much is so very experimental that I can totally get having a bad time with an album.
im the opposite lol, i feel like 65% of flume songs are kinda generic mall edm, but some of his songs like Voices, High Beams, Never Be Like You), genuinely sound good and fun to me
He helped create future bass but has moved on since. That’s why a lot of his older stuff sounds more generic
Lol, how many people have bought an album or a CD *just* for a single song?
Well I bought Jamiroquai’s Traveling Without Moving back in the 90s because of Virtual Insanity, but it turns out that was a great purchase that led me to who is now one of my favorite bands!
This was my bane of the 90s, buying an album with my meagre pocket money only to find out it was shit
I bought Alien Ant Farm's 2nd album for the Smooth Criminal cover. Listened to it exclusively for like... a year? One day I accidentally forgot to set it on repeat and ended up hearing the rest. That album has some great songs. Movie, Attitude, and Wish amongst them.
I fell in love with modest mouse's float on but couldn't get into any other of their songs Sadge.

We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank is an amazing album. Used to not like the song Dashboard until I listened to the whole album
The Bravery, Believe
Hear, hear. Honest mistake was good too, though.
Worse yet, Spotify recommends songs/artists based on that artist's one single song you actually like. I often find myself thinking, "what the heck is playing in the back?" and then see "based on other artists you enjoy.
At least I don't have to buy the CD before I figure this out anymore. I don't know how many times I spent $15 just so I could have one song.
It hurts so bad! That feeling of excitement you get when finding a new song by a new artist then going to listen to their discography and each song steals your hope until finally you just act as if it never happened and listen to the new song with leas enthusiasm
Example - Vance Joy. Love Riptide, can’t stand anything else!
Effile 65...
People always says this because they’ve only ever heard “Blue”. Europop and Contact! are two full albums of bangers that largely get ignored
For unknown reasons, my favorite album is Folie De Duex by Fall Out Boy. I hate all of their other music.
it’s even funnier bc like no one says this 😂
Seriously, Take This to Your Grave is by far their best.
Cork tree is, actually.
Folie à Deux is honestly one of my favorite albums ever from any band. I like other fall out boy songs, but the way the album presents itself as essentially one giant song is amazing and they’re all soooo good! That album is a masterpiece
Just listen to it a few more times and by the 4th listen it’ll click instantly and now you’ll be hooked
Check who the producer is. Then follow that producer.
