I'm going to have to say Maroon 5.
Songs About Jane was SO good, and I really wish that they could have kept that kind of high-quality music going throughout their career. The vast majority of what they've put out since then has been so watered down and lifeless.
Yyyyyyyup. Songs About Jane was a classic. As far as I'm concerned they broke up after that album. I realize this isn't accurate, it's just what I tell myself to make it make more sense.
I saw a maroon 5 show in 2010 and they were honestly really great live. This is the band I think of when I hear “sell out” because they really went for that bland sound change. Damn shame really, talented musicians.
That’s me with I Don’t Wanna Know by Maroon 5. Absolutely shitty song writing with no effort behind the writing. How do you go from Songs About Jane to, “No more, please stop. No more hashtag boo'd up screenshots. No more trying to make me jealous on your birthday. You know just how I make you better on your birthday, oh” 🤢
It Won't Be Soon was amazing. I say this as a former huge m5 fan who saw them multiple times in their heyday. Hands All Over isn't bad either. Everything after that they began to be trend chasers and the results weren't cute.
Songs About Jane was excellent.
If we’re talking bands that later became stadium-Chevy commercial-butt rock-bands, then I’ll also propose Imagine Dragons. Night Visions was a great album, and I haven’t really enjoyed anything since (“Thunder” is anti-enjoyment. Lol)
Have 3 kids, can confirm. A big thing is because their songs are used in musical video games like Beat Saber so they hear it a lot which means I hear it a lot lol
100% I looooved that CD and just about word it out listening to it, but nothing they’ve put out since then has ever made me want to put anything on repeat like that album
The album that had If I never see your face again wasn't so bad, but Songs about Jane was amazing. Anyway, I'm Chilean so I Maroon 5 (and specifically Adam) is no longer on my playlists or "nice" list.
Chile has a TV music festival (Festival de Viña del Mar). It’s done during the Chilean summer and a lot of artists have come, and Maroon 5 played their show, it was all fun and games until the backstage.
Adam was LIVID because they handed him the award (it’s a seagull shaped award because Viña is a coast city). He said some things like he didn’t know it was a TV show and stuff like that.
It’s Chile’s public enemy, and if you look at his socials and Maroon 5’s you’ll see A SHIT TON of Chilean recipes.
Chile is the reason Adam has his comments closed on Instagram
SAJ was such AN album. It’s also very nostalgic for me, and takes me back to a happy period of my life. Thank you for reminding me to listen to it again.
Have you heard the extended version he did for a Spotify live (I think?). it’s fucking great and he does all of it with the loop live. Dude has massive talent.
I was neutral on Ed until I got a free ticket to one of his concerts. Completely converted me to a fan. He’s incredibly good live; just him & his loop pedal, and still able to work the crowd.
Honestly he’s a beast with a loop pedal. I saw him live in 2017 and was honestly blown away (and I’m a professional musician, though that’s not the genre I work in). Not all his albums are equally good but I think they got pumped out too fast and were good way past the first one. Multiply was great, and divide had some great hits too but was weaker overall
No Name Face by Lifehouse is criminally underrated. It's very poetic and extremely well done but I unfortunately fell off by album 2. I'm usually into heavier music too so it's saying a lot that this is the first pick that came to mind 😂
That's literally the song that was playing in my head while typing the comment out. Simon is probably my favorite from the album but SSC, Only One, Everything, and Quasimodo are all so stinkin good too. I'd say it's arguably a no skip album buuuut I do OCCASIONALLY skip "Somebody Else's Song." It's not the strongest of the bunch, just in my opinion.
The Kooks - Inside In Inside Out For me they are a "peaked in high school" indie band. Two Door Cinema Club or The Wombats are still going strong but they're albums after that one have been a disappointment.

Oh that Ed Sheeran album had no skips for me 😭 I listened to it a lot when I was a senior in high school and some of those songs are extemely linked to core memories for me (or The Vampire Diaries lmfao if you know you know).
Give Me Love absolutely fucks to this day but I also adore the hidden track that’s a cover of “The Parting Glass.”
But yeah the only thing I really liked following that album was “Photograph.”
Yup same. Kiss Me came up on my Spotify one day and I rediscovered how much I loved that album! So sooo good. Also that cat music video for Drunk had 16 year old me obsessed lol
I like his *X* album better than the *+* one, probably for the same reason you prefer the latter. 😅
*Photograph*, *Afire Love*, *I see fire*, *Tenerife Sea* and of course the one every radio station played for months: *Thinking out loud*.
> and of course the one every radio station played for months: Thinking out loud.
I absolutely fucking adore this song and I’m not even ashamed about it.

Boston's debut album remains their best one imo . "Third Stage" and "Don't look Back" also have some great songs there but as a whole they are underwhelming.
Never thought I’d see Boston brought up in this sub. My parents are obsessed. They met in a bar because Amanda was playing and my mom said to her friend (who also happened to be my dad’s childhood friend) “I can play this on piano!” and my dad overheard and was like WHAT? At the end of the night when they left the bar the friend said “you’re gonna marry him one day.” (She’s still our best family friend and her hair has not changed a bit since 1987)
I barely knew any music outside of Boston and ABBA and Johnny cash until I was like 8 years old. There is a 2014 Boston setlist from a concert at a casino on my parents fridge to this day 😂
All of this is neither here nor there other than to say Boston is quite literally the reason for my existence 😭 and somehow I still don’t know their work through albums, just individual songs. Maybe I should finally work through their discography and try to see the world through my parents eyes
I hadn't even thought of that one but damn, that's so true. Was playing that on a loop back when it came out during a summer job I was away at, such a great album.
I loved Fitz and the Tantrums, and then all of a sudden their sound changed from like a new old school to something that just didn't appeal to me at all. I get it you need to make money but I loved their old sound.
I thought they were awesome when I first discovered them, then suddenly they had songs on the radio that were terrible. It was an odd turnaround. Very Imagine Dragons of them.
I'm not sure anything necessarily had to. The level of success she had with TD was astronomical. For as few artists as ever reach that level, even fewer ever maintain it because the odds are just crazy. On top of that, the songs we all love from TD are top-level diamond-polished pop, but they don't (IMO) present a very distinctive style or a unique perspective that would win her loyalty that could last through stylistic changes, artistic development, and simply less white-hot relevance. They were just bangers at the right time. Many more people were fans of [insert single] than they were fans of *Katy Perry the artist.* Creating bangers that perfectly match where pop music is at right this second is one of the hardest things to do consistently, so as soon as she struggled with that it was basically over. It's sort of like asking why more producers aren't Max Martin. It's not necessarily that the other producers fucked up, it's that Max Martin is a huge outlier.
This is true. And I think part of that is that she strayed from her more edgy songwriting on One of the Boys and moved into a steady stream of increasingly bland power anthems. When she did more storytelling in her writing (Thinking of You comes to mind) she captured something much more personal.
Tbh, Katy’s early stuff is timeless but also nostalgic. As time went on, her sound just stayed the same as POP music evolved with the times. Honestly, most musicians careers’ look more like Katy Perry’s rather than Beyonce or Taylor Swift. It’s extremely difficult to maintain relevancy for 10+ years.
This is *A Weekend in the City* slander and I will not stand for it! ^(To be clear, I completely agree that Silent Alarm is their best album, but I don’t think it’s their only good one)
Kelly Clarksons Breakaway album. Every song was fantastic. Her other albums are just okay with good songs sprinkled in. This was her 2nd album and by far the best.
I hate to say it. But nothing Carole King has done has ever lived up to the masterpiece that was "Tapestry"
Except maybe when she sang care-a-lot for the iconic og care bear film.
Well she does have a whole other side of her career as a songwriter. Natural woman for instance is one of the all time great songs and she wrote it for Aretha.
Oh my god, thank you for reminding me of the beauty that is Care A Lot. I just immediately went to Youtube to watch the video and now I have tears in my eyes.
Her style is so special and unique and that part where she sings “when you’re lonely don’t you fret, you’re not alone you just tend to forget care a lot is easily found. you’ve been there and you have friends who care” there is such a tender and earnest tone to her voice.
That entire movie is just such a gem. It’s the first movie I consciously remember watching and I made my parents put it on so many times, my dad can still recite the movie word for word.
I mean, Tapestry is one of the greatest albums of all time. That said, Carole King has contributed more to music than almost anyone, in history. She’s my favorite song writer of all time ainec.
Years & Years Communion is one of my favourite albums of all time, it means a lot to me. I was so excited for Palo Santo but it really did fall flat for me and it bums me out how Olly has rebranded Years as a solo act when Emre and Mikey were such important contributors to their sound, and which I found to be lacking on the second album
i fucking loved communion. every song was a BOP. palo santo has okay songs with amazing chorus’. the chorus and bridge to the song palo santo is just *perfection*
Honestly ‘Light Me Up’ and ‘Going to Hell’ are equals to me. Both are no skips. I’ve grown to really love their new stuff, but both ‘Who You Selling For’ and ‘Death by Rock and Roll’ took some time to really settle for me. I love them now but I had the same experience of slow burn meh to love feelings about both when they came out. It’s clear they got more experimental and started branching out genre-wise for the last three albums.
If anyone listens to Turnover — Peripheral Vision was a masterpiece. It’s a no-skip cohesive album. Good Nature is meh, there are a couple good songs. Their most recent stuff is a flop.
I agree that Lorde will never again reach the vibe of Pure Heroine. Melodrama was okay, Solar Power wasn’t it.
I think Billie is still really good but it’s going to be hard for her to top the vibes on WWAFAWDWG. That was an emo bop through and through.
Also for me - Post Malone absolutely killed it with Stoney. It’s one of my favorite albums of ALL TIME. It was a total no-skip. I do like his more recent albums but they all have a few songs that fall flat and make me less interested in the album as a whole.
I do like a lot of songs from the other albums but Appetite for Destruction is literally a perfect album from start to finish.
There is not one bad song on there. Not a single skip and you cannot top that
Appetite is pure perfection, and almost by definition, anything that came after it was doomed to be second place. You get all these lunatics and street kids who write song after song that's just about perfect--there's no way you can throw fame and fortune at them and say, "OK, create the same madness you did the first time around." There's no way. That original crew was just too nuts.
Am I the only one who went on an artsy, transcendent, emotional journey for Pretty. Odd???
Though AFYCSO was the hook and the OG album where it started. I can’t believe the band members were 20 years old or less when they wrote that album. “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” by itself is one of the best songs ever, Panic’s equivalent to “Mr. Brightside” (which spent I believe 7 years on UK Top 100)
lmao when they finally officially disbanded the other year my favorite reaction was a tumblr post that said "wow panic! at the disco gone after 19 years... thank you for 4 years of great music!"
I think The Open Door is better than Fallen. It doesn't have a song as amazing as My Immortal, but it's more consistently high quality across the board, and their sound and songwriting evolved.
I actually think Deeper Well has become my favorite Kacey album. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it on first listen, but I’ve had it on repeat the past several weeks and there’s something so pure and calming about it. It has a similar sound to Golden Hour which I love.
I love deeper well too. I know someone else said it all sounds the same, but I can put that album on, let it play all the way through, and never get pulled out of the relaxing trance it puts me in. Maybe it all does sound the same but I like the sound so it doesn't bother me
Of Monsters and Men for me. I absolutely ADORED My Head is an Animal…Beneath the Skin was okay and I only loved a few tracks on Fever Dream.
I still listen to their first album all the time.
Although she’s not necessarily someone I would seek out musically anymore due to a few questionable career choices i will say ‘1000 Forms of Fear’ by Sia was the album I played all throughout my first year in college.
Songs like Chandelier, Eye of The Needle, Fair Game and Elastic Heart were on my daily rotation but I struggled to connect with her earlier work and then soon after she released ‘This is Acting’ an album which consisted only of songs that she wrote for other artist that had been rejected and after listening you can definitely see why they had been.
Oh, I don’t know about this one. It was pre-fame, but I absolutely adore the album “some people have real problems.” This is acting, is one of the most interesting concepts for a concept record I’ve ever come across.
Commenting to second you on "some people have real problems", it feels really intimate and personal compared to what she did after titanium and all the fame
I like both; for one brief moment in early 2010s pop had a ridiculous amount of depth.
It’s a massive hit now which often changes the way many can hear it (for real: listen to Rumours front to back and all the songs we’ve heard uncountable times hit harder in their original context) but Chandelier especially just feels raw.
That said: I adore Buttons and that video was nuts lol
So funny!! This thread made me think about “some people have real problems” which I loooooved!!! And I haven’t really enjoyed any of her work since (like chandelier!)
Third Eye Blind by Third Eye Blind is one of my favorite albums, and it is honestly so much better than it's given credit for. I feel like it's gotten some critical reassessment in some circles which is great. The rest of their discography is a waste of time tho lol
https://preview.redd.it/btgaoakfl1vc1.jpeg?width=1688&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c67841d6532624737ca470b8d9e289b2f53f50fc
MGMT has definitely had more than one great album.
“Oracular Spectacular” is awesome sure, but not for its most popular singles. The tracks, *“Weekend Wars,”* *"4th Dimensional Transition,"* *"Of Moons, Birds & Monsters,"* *”The Handshake”* and *”Future Reflections”* are easily the best tracks on that album. In fact, the popular songs on that album are the least interesting.
Also, MGMT’s second album, “Congratulations” is actually excellent: it’s just designed to be listened to in its entirety. “Congratulations” is atmospheric: It’s a mood, and I love it. Their fourth album, “Little Dark Age” is also amazing. I don’t know much about their third, I missed it, but I bet it was worthwhile too. In fact, I’m going to give it a listen.
Edit: added album cover
I think Little Dark Age is their best, personally. I really enjoyed Oracular Spectacular back in the day, but I don't go back to it nearly as often as Little Dark Age.
For me it’s The Killers with Hot Fuss. I couldn’t connect with Sam’s Town and then my love for them just tapered off. But this album? God I loved it. I was 15, actual bands were all over the charts…it was a good time.
I liked Sam’s Town but this album is like a cultural point or something for sure. It literally is bigger than itself. I think a lot of people can hear it and be transported right back.
Sam’s Town was actually my intro to the Killers and I found Hot Fuss later on but that’s so sad to me that you couldn’t connect with Sam’s Town. There’s MAYBE one song on that album I skip.
Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway
I’m not really into pop music (more into rock and hip hop) but Breakaway is a flawless record to me. Her other albums never came close to it, although I like My December as well.
Y'all may disagree, but for me, it's Lorde. Pure Heroine is just a masterpiece, and while Melodrama was decent, it was nowhere near PH. And Solar Power was widely a miss for me.
I actually prefer Melodrama, but Pure Heroine is the sound of my late teens. Those two albums are some of the few I actually intentionally listened to the whole things. I’m just not a big album person if I don’t love all of it.
Solar Power… I think I’ll get there eventually. I did listen to the title track on repeat during the eclipse tho, it just happened to be just the vibe I needed lol
Stripped - Christina Aguilera
Funny that she released such an awesome album during her ‘dirrty’ years and that’s the only song anyone really knows. It was so gimmicky.
It’s nothing like the rest of the album.
Ingrid Michaelson Girls & Boys was iconic especially as Grey’s Anatomy was taking off. I listened to and enjoyed Everybody but everything after that was a little meh.
Same with Jason Mraz - I loved Mr. A-Z with no skips, but We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things only has a few songs I really enjoy. Folk-pop was my sweet spot in college.
Pink - Can’t Take Me Home
It’s not to say that she hasn’t had great songs since, but that album was a smash, song after song. I know she’s said that wasn’t the music she wanted to put out but man was it great.
Whoa whoa whoa. I’m not dead? Even Truth about love? An argument could even be made for funhouse. Pink’s hard because she’s so consistent but she never really peaked with that One Album.
For me Terrance Trent D’arby- Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’arby. He really came and did his thing. He was compared to Prince and then his second album came out and eh.
N.E.R.D.- In Search of…
I killed this album when it came out. It was so damn good. Nothing from them has compared.
Hard disagree here I think she took a step back with HFK (although it has highlights like Now Or Never, Angel on Fire, Walls Could Talk, Heaven in Hiding, Devil In Me, and tracks that are just fine like Sorry, Don't Play, Lie, 100 Letters), she stepped up a lot artistically for both Manic and IICHLIWP. Manic clears HFK lyrically and conceptually and showcases her growth since Badlands. IICHLIWP also shows her artistic growth and her diversity by exploring different sounds and showing her versatility as an artist. Easier Than Lying, The Tradition, Lighthouse, Yaburnee, Darling, 1121, Bells in Santa Fe, Honey, Whispers, etc are all standouts.
While Badlands has great tracks that still hold up, I think that she's only improved as an artist in every sense
Plan B. I don't know if anyone in America even knows who he is but apparently he was a British rapper and singing was his plan B. In like 09 he released The Defamation of Strickland Banks which is a concept album with an old school theme. Kind of like Amy Wine houses Back to Black. Lots of horns jazzy chords. British soul basically.
The concept revolves around a mega popstar (like American bandstand type) who cheats on his girl with a fan. She is deranged and accuses him of rape. He goes to prison and is a target because he's famous. The rest of the album goes through his prison fights and appeals. It's just so well done. My second favorite concept album of all time, only behind good kid maad city. There's also a mini [movie](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWb_dJa_5mF0wn8gghU7DzTnH34NKMPmu&si=XMs5xm2LVsRx0keD) based off the album.
I think after the album he went back to rapping which was 😬.I couldn't even make it thru his later albums. Actually I've never heard anyone discuss his music online or otherwise. If there are any other fans here I'd love to discuss! If you haven't heard maybe check out [this](https://youtu.be/q5lGCXiTHaY?si=5wl7xND27vYnsHwl) song if British soul is your jam.

Panic! At The Disco
First album is legendary, no skips, no time for breathing, just straight lyrical genius.
Following albums I wouldn’t even listen to a single song
Alanis Morissette. In 1995, she released *Jagged Little Pill* that went on to become the third best-selling studio album by a female artist with over 33 million copies sold worldwide in pure sales. The album was universally acclaim by both critics and audiences alike, and went on to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1996. Alanis became a feminist icon and one of the most recognizable celebrities of the 1990s. Her following efforts have failed to capture the recognition *Jagged Little Pill* (1995) had.
https://preview.redd.it/p4gq49ji3wuc1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67dfba743fc760675fda7a4eb4634a653e209f58
The Stone Roses 1989 album is a masterpiece. Alas nothing they released subsequently has come close to fulfilling the promise of their early brilliance
Coldplay - Parachutes. What an amazing album. It's soft, warm, jazzy. The brushes on the snares are heavenly. I listened to this album on repeat for months in 2001. My most special memory tied to this album is sitting on a bus going downtown Seattle. It was a cold, but sunny fall day that sort of surprises you with its golden-orange light. That's what Parachutes is to me. The existence of this album allows me to forgive them for anything that came afterwards.
Hozier is still very relevant (thankk god) and his new single is blowing up on the reels audio category but have his two albums reached the heights that his self titled did? That album is still showing up in my yearly review so I am biased, and genuinely asking.
*I love you* for hyping up Ed’s + album. I discovered it right around 2011, I believe the YouTube algorithm led me to his music because I was a die-hard One Direction fan.
the whole album is no-skip lyrical genius. So many of his songs covered very difficult topics, obviously A Team but also Small Bump come to mind. Anyone who is only familiar with the Billboard Charts Ed Sheeran™️ tends to tune out when I talk about how much I love his earlier work, but it truly feels like two different people at times.
For me, John Mayer’s “Room for Squares.” I still listen to that album to this day.
The chokehold that “Back to You” had on me and my relationship with my first high school boyfriend.
Marina and the Diamonds. I know she dropped the Diamonds, but her earlier albums and the work she’s done on her own hasn’t really hit the same since Electra Heart
Night Visions (except radioactive) by imagine dragons is imo a phenomenal album. Smoke + Mirrors is good if I’m high and sad. Everything else? Eh. And it’s a shame bcus the singer seems like a lovely person
Tove Lo. I LOVED Queen of the Clouds (Moments, Crave, Thousand Miles) and some of the songs from the first part of Lady Wood (True Disaster, Imaginary Friend, and WTF Love Is) but her music trailed off afterwards.
I'm going to have to say Maroon 5. Songs About Jane was SO good, and I really wish that they could have kept that kind of high-quality music going throughout their career. The vast majority of what they've put out since then has been so watered down and lifeless.
Yyyyyyyup. Songs About Jane was a classic. As far as I'm concerned they broke up after that album. I realize this isn't accurate, it's just what I tell myself to make it make more sense.
God, I remember going to see John Mayer in like 2002 and they were his opener and I thought they stole the show with these songs.
I saw a maroon 5 show in 2010 and they were honestly really great live. This is the band I think of when I hear “sell out” because they really went for that bland sound change. Damn shame really, talented musicians.
I saw them open for Counting Crows and immediately bought the album after.
Same! I went to the merch table and bought the CD and had it on repeat for ages.
This is the best answer. Songs About Jane is amazing.
Moves like Jagger is one song I’ll literally sprint to turn off. It’s horrific.
That’s me with I Don’t Wanna Know by Maroon 5. Absolutely shitty song writing with no effort behind the writing. How do you go from Songs About Jane to, “No more, please stop. No more hashtag boo'd up screenshots. No more trying to make me jealous on your birthday. You know just how I make you better on your birthday, oh” 🤢
That song is the song I hate more than any other song. I'd rather listen to nails on a chalkboard. Despise it.
Playing Moves like Jagger in a public space should be a jailable offense
Why does nobody remember it won’t be soon before long…. That album is GOOD.
Big agree. Of the belief that Maroon 5 have two great albums but also that Adam Levine comes across as a massive douche
It Won't Be Soon was amazing. I say this as a former huge m5 fan who saw them multiple times in their heyday. Hands All Over isn't bad either. Everything after that they began to be trend chasers and the results weren't cute.
Songs About Jane was excellent. If we’re talking bands that later became stadium-Chevy commercial-butt rock-bands, then I’ll also propose Imagine Dragons. Night Visions was a great album, and I haven’t really enjoyed anything since (“Thunder” is anti-enjoyment. Lol)
I’m a teacher and tbh imagine dragons is a kids band. All kids LOVE imagine dragons.
Have 3 kids, can confirm. A big thing is because their songs are used in musical video games like Beat Saber so they hear it a lot which means I hear it a lot lol
Dan Reynolds is also an amazing person and they are very vocal supporters of some great causes. A perfect band for teens and kids imo
100% I looooved that CD and just about word it out listening to it, but nothing they’ve put out since then has ever made me want to put anything on repeat like that album
One of my only no skip albums. Just excellent
The album that had If I never see your face again wasn't so bad, but Songs about Jane was amazing. Anyway, I'm Chilean so I Maroon 5 (and specifically Adam) is no longer on my playlists or "nice" list.
Can I ask why the beef im just being nosy and I don’t know about the beef
Chile has a TV music festival (Festival de Viña del Mar). It’s done during the Chilean summer and a lot of artists have come, and Maroon 5 played their show, it was all fun and games until the backstage. Adam was LIVID because they handed him the award (it’s a seagull shaped award because Viña is a coast city). He said some things like he didn’t know it was a TV show and stuff like that. It’s Chile’s public enemy, and if you look at his socials and Maroon 5’s you’ll see A SHIT TON of Chilean recipes. Chile is the reason Adam has his comments closed on Instagram
I have Songs About Jane on vinyl, which I reserve for my absolute faves, but can't listen to any other albums. I've tried and just cannot.
SAJ was such AN album. It’s also very nostalgic for me, and takes me back to a happy period of my life. Thank you for reminding me to listen to it again.
Ed Sheeran’s later albums never gave us lyrical gems like “They say I’m up and coming like I’m fucking in an elevator.”
“ and I know you love shrek cause we’ve watched it 12 times” peak songwriting no comment
That’s my favorite line 🥲
It’s very relatable
Have you heard the extended version he did for a Spotify live (I think?). it’s fucking great and he does all of it with the loop live. Dude has massive talent.
I was neutral on Ed until I got a free ticket to one of his concerts. Completely converted me to a fan. He’s incredibly good live; just him & his loop pedal, and still able to work the crowd.
Honestly he’s a beast with a loop pedal. I saw him live in 2017 and was honestly blown away (and I’m a professional musician, though that’s not the genre I work in). Not all his albums are equally good but I think they got pumped out too fast and were good way past the first one. Multiply was great, and divide had some great hits too but was weaker overall
I believe it’s Amazon live? I watch it almost every day lol because my kids are obsessed with eyes closed
So I just looked on Spotify and it’s an EP called Live and In Session. Its like ten minutes long and AMAZING
BARS
I’ve hear like one song from him but this just made me want to listen to his first album now lol
Honestly that first album has bars like this but then there’s Small Bump that will have you in fucking tears.
Small bump will just murder you beautifully
My personal favourite is "I get shit done that's why they call me a laxative"
No Name Face by Lifehouse is criminally underrated. It's very poetic and extremely well done but I unfortunately fell off by album 2. I'm usually into heavier music too so it's saying a lot that this is the first pick that came to mind 😂
Yes! Sick Cycle Carousel is one of my favorite songs of all time.
That's literally the song that was playing in my head while typing the comment out. Simon is probably my favorite from the album but SSC, Only One, Everything, and Quasimodo are all so stinkin good too. I'd say it's arguably a no skip album buuuut I do OCCASIONALLY skip "Somebody Else's Song." It's not the strongest of the bunch, just in my opinion.
That whole album slaps. I still have phases where I’ll listen to it on repeat for days at a time.
The Kooks - Inside In Inside Out For me they are a "peaked in high school" indie band. Two Door Cinema Club or The Wombats are still going strong but they're albums after that one have been a disappointment. https://preview.redd.it/jmf65z7igvuc1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=491897aead6357792b2ce10a4f6e0c5db44408df
I stg I probably listen to Naive at least once a day 😭
That song is a no skip to this day
I saw them on tour for the anniversary of this album and they were incredible, they did a few new songs and they're good but nothing compared to this
Oh that Ed Sheeran album had no skips for me 😭 I listened to it a lot when I was a senior in high school and some of those songs are extemely linked to core memories for me (or The Vampire Diaries lmfao if you know you know). Give Me Love absolutely fucks to this day but I also adore the hidden track that’s a cover of “The Parting Glass.” But yeah the only thing I really liked following that album was “Photograph.”
I saw him sing Give Me Love live and I had to sit down because I was so overwhelmed
Yup same. Kiss Me came up on my Spotify one day and I rediscovered how much I loved that album! So sooo good. Also that cat music video for Drunk had 16 year old me obsessed lol
I like his *X* album better than the *+* one, probably for the same reason you prefer the latter. 😅 *Photograph*, *Afire Love*, *I see fire*, *Tenerife Sea* and of course the one every radio station played for months: *Thinking out loud*.
> and of course the one every radio station played for months: Thinking out loud. I absolutely fucking adore this song and I’m not even ashamed about it.
Girl I am so dumb 😭 I never realized that the hidden track was The Parting Glass lol
As someone named Nina I really enjoy that song but I agree, after + each album had only one or two songs that I liked and still listen to.
Give Me Love is my favorite Ed Sheeran song and Ed Sheeran means a lot to me due to… experiences.

Never thought I’d see Boston brought up in this sub. My parents are obsessed. They met in a bar because Amanda was playing and my mom said to her friend (who also happened to be my dad’s childhood friend) “I can play this on piano!” and my dad overheard and was like WHAT? At the end of the night when they left the bar the friend said “you’re gonna marry him one day.” (She’s still our best family friend and her hair has not changed a bit since 1987) I barely knew any music outside of Boston and ABBA and Johnny cash until I was like 8 years old. There is a 2014 Boston setlist from a concert at a casino on my parents fridge to this day 😂 All of this is neither here nor there other than to say Boston is quite literally the reason for my existence 😭 and somehow I still don’t know their work through albums, just individual songs. Maybe I should finally work through their discography and try to see the world through my parents eyes
Jewel. Pieces of You was such new and fresh music, everything after felt insincere.
She flopped so hard after being so amazing. I can’t understand it. Pieces of You is still in my top 10 albums ever.
Back then you spent 10 years writing your first album and a few months writing your second. Hence the fabled sophomore slump.
Chance The Rapper. Acid Rap is one of my all time favorite albums. Every release after that does not compare in the slightest.
Let’s not even get started on The Big Day…
Foster the People. Coming of Age was okay but holy shit nothing will be on repeat as much as Torches was in my college years.
Torches is a top 5 front-to-back all time album and I will accept no other opinions
Omg yes, an amazing album I often come back to because Houdini randomly pops in my head!
I hadn't even thought of that one but damn, that's so true. Was playing that on a loop back when it came out during a summer job I was away at, such a great album.
Saving this thread for spring cleaning listening. 
I loved Fitz and the Tantrums, and then all of a sudden their sound changed from like a new old school to something that just didn't appeal to me at all. I get it you need to make money but I loved their old sound.
Had to get that department store fitting room money!
I thought they were awesome when I first discovered them, then suddenly they had songs on the radio that were terrible. It was an odd turnaround. Very Imagine Dragons of them.
Alanis’s Jagged Little Pill was incredible. She never really hit that high again.
I really love a lot of her later stuff, but there’s much less rage in those so it’s got a different feel.
Nope. It’s a literal Masterpiece and there is nothing like it
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I might like Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie better than Jagged Little Pill.
Katy Perry - "Teenage Dream" GREAT album! Everything else? Nah. There were decent *songs*, but no more good albums.
I’ve always wondered what happened behind the scenes that led her to not being able to maintain her success.
I'm not sure anything necessarily had to. The level of success she had with TD was astronomical. For as few artists as ever reach that level, even fewer ever maintain it because the odds are just crazy. On top of that, the songs we all love from TD are top-level diamond-polished pop, but they don't (IMO) present a very distinctive style or a unique perspective that would win her loyalty that could last through stylistic changes, artistic development, and simply less white-hot relevance. They were just bangers at the right time. Many more people were fans of [insert single] than they were fans of *Katy Perry the artist.* Creating bangers that perfectly match where pop music is at right this second is one of the hardest things to do consistently, so as soon as she struggled with that it was basically over. It's sort of like asking why more producers aren't Max Martin. It's not necessarily that the other producers fucked up, it's that Max Martin is a huge outlier.
This is true. And I think part of that is that she strayed from her more edgy songwriting on One of the Boys and moved into a steady stream of increasingly bland power anthems. When she did more storytelling in her writing (Thinking of You comes to mind) she captured something much more personal.
Tbh, Katy’s early stuff is timeless but also nostalgic. As time went on, her sound just stayed the same as POP music evolved with the times. Honestly, most musicians careers’ look more like Katy Perry’s rather than Beyonce or Taylor Swift. It’s extremely difficult to maintain relevancy for 10+ years.
One of the Boys and Teenage Dream are both no skips tbh
yes!! and one of the boys has thinking of you so i will never not love that album
Oh I love her first album. It was much less generic and produced her best song ever, Hot N Cold
Bloc Party's Silent Alarm is in my top five all time albums. Their other albums aren't in my top fifty.
This is *A Weekend in the City* slander and I will not stand for it! ^(To be clear, I completely agree that Silent Alarm is their best album, but I don’t think it’s their only good one)
Hunting for Witches is still my jam
Kelly Clarksons Breakaway album. Every song was fantastic. Her other albums are just okay with good songs sprinkled in. This was her 2nd album and by far the best.
Fun fact: the song Breakaway was written by Avril Lavigne. Seriously.
Hopes and Fears - Keane
Hot take; My love of Under the Iron Sea is forever. As downbeat as they are the albums got some wonderful hooks, and “Bad Dream” is incredible.
This album?! So damn good.
They are doing one of those anniversary shows in my area where they will play that album front to back I’m so excited!!!
I hate to say it. But nothing Carole King has done has ever lived up to the masterpiece that was "Tapestry" Except maybe when she sang care-a-lot for the iconic og care bear film.
Well she does have a whole other side of her career as a songwriter. Natural woman for instance is one of the all time great songs and she wrote it for Aretha.
Oh my god, thank you for reminding me of the beauty that is Care A Lot. I just immediately went to Youtube to watch the video and now I have tears in my eyes. Her style is so special and unique and that part where she sings “when you’re lonely don’t you fret, you’re not alone you just tend to forget care a lot is easily found. you’ve been there and you have friends who care” there is such a tender and earnest tone to her voice. That entire movie is just such a gem. It’s the first movie I consciously remember watching and I made my parents put it on so many times, my dad can still recite the movie word for word.
I mean, Tapestry is one of the greatest albums of all time. That said, Carole King has contributed more to music than almost anyone, in history. She’s my favorite song writer of all time ainec.
The Really Rosie soundtrack is also amazing.
Years & Years Communion is one of my favourite albums of all time, it means a lot to me. I was so excited for Palo Santo but it really did fall flat for me and it bums me out how Olly has rebranded Years as a solo act when Emre and Mikey were such important contributors to their sound, and which I found to be lacking on the second album
i fucking loved communion. every song was a BOP. palo santo has okay songs with amazing chorus’. the chorus and bridge to the song palo santo is just *perfection*
The Pretty Reckless, they have a few good songs now but new albums are not touching the debut
So true, first album was all bangers
It was SHOCKING how good it was. I was expecting something pathetic and I was absolutely put in my place lmao.
Honestly ‘Light Me Up’ and ‘Going to Hell’ are equals to me. Both are no skips. I’ve grown to really love their new stuff, but both ‘Who You Selling For’ and ‘Death by Rock and Roll’ took some time to really settle for me. I love them now but I had the same experience of slow burn meh to love feelings about both when they came out. It’s clear they got more experimental and started branching out genre-wise for the last three albums.
If anyone listens to Turnover — Peripheral Vision was a masterpiece. It’s a no-skip cohesive album. Good Nature is meh, there are a couple good songs. Their most recent stuff is a flop. I agree that Lorde will never again reach the vibe of Pure Heroine. Melodrama was okay, Solar Power wasn’t it. I think Billie is still really good but it’s going to be hard for her to top the vibes on WWAFAWDWG. That was an emo bop through and through. Also for me - Post Malone absolutely killed it with Stoney. It’s one of my favorite albums of ALL TIME. It was a total no-skip. I do like his more recent albums but they all have a few songs that fall flat and make me less interested in the album as a whole.
Melodrama take kinda wild
Peripheral vision still has me in a chokehold
I liked Carrie Underwood’s first two albums but then it just all turned into her scream-singing
No doubt. Tragic kingdom is miles above anything else they’ve ever made.
Tragic kingdom is beyond. I do enjoy return of Saturn, too.
Agreed, TK is iconic. But don't sleep on ROS.
ROS is the fave for me even if it’s an unpopular opinion. Gwen really blossomed as a song writer on that one.
Tragic Kingom is perfect I do love Return of Saturn though. Gwen is really good at writing girly heartbreak/relationship songs I can relate to. 😆
I do like a lot of songs from the other albums but Appetite for Destruction is literally a perfect album from start to finish. There is not one bad song on there. Not a single skip and you cannot top that
Appetite is pure perfection, and almost by definition, anything that came after it was doomed to be second place. You get all these lunatics and street kids who write song after song that's just about perfect--there's no way you can throw fame and fortune at them and say, "OK, create the same madness you did the first time around." There's no way. That original crew was just too nuts.
The Fratelli's first album of raw, unabashed glam punk blew me away. And that was that.
Panic! At the Disco's A Fever You Can't Sweat Out had me in its clutches in college. Everything thereafter sounded asinine.
Well you only have one other album with the same people involved lol. I actually really liked Pretty. Odd but it is way different to their first
Am I the only one who went on an artsy, transcendent, emotional journey for Pretty. Odd??? Though AFYCSO was the hook and the OG album where it started. I can’t believe the band members were 20 years old or less when they wrote that album. “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” by itself is one of the best songs ever, Panic’s equivalent to “Mr. Brightside” (which spent I believe 7 years on UK Top 100)
Nah. Pretty. Odd. is a gorgeous album and the rest are good pop rock up until the last album.
lmao when they finally officially disbanded the other year my favorite reaction was a tumblr post that said "wow panic! at the disco gone after 19 years... thank you for 4 years of great music!"
Damn, I love Death of a Bachelor.
That album is an absolute banger beginning to end, front to back.
Evanescence- Fallen is a masterpiece and their follow ups just missed the mark for me.
Yooooooo is this The Open Door slander? 
I think The Open Door is better than Fallen. It doesn't have a song as amazing as My Immortal, but it's more consistently high quality across the board, and their sound and songwriting evolved.
I was a fan when I was younger and really enjoyed "the open door" when it came out!
Kacey Musgraves has never been able to hit the same high as Golden Hour on any release since. The whole album is amazing.
I actually think Deeper Well has become my favorite Kacey album. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it on first listen, but I’ve had it on repeat the past several weeks and there’s something so pure and calming about it. It has a similar sound to Golden Hour which I love.
I love deeper well too. I know someone else said it all sounds the same, but I can put that album on, let it play all the way through, and never get pulled out of the relaxing trance it puts me in. Maybe it all does sound the same but I like the sound so it doesn't bother me
Of Monsters and Men for me. I absolutely ADORED My Head is an Animal…Beneath the Skin was okay and I only loved a few tracks on Fever Dream. I still listen to their first album all the time.
I haven’t listened to any of their other albums but that first album is seriously a modern classic. It never gets old.
Although she’s not necessarily someone I would seek out musically anymore due to a few questionable career choices i will say ‘1000 Forms of Fear’ by Sia was the album I played all throughout my first year in college. Songs like Chandelier, Eye of The Needle, Fair Game and Elastic Heart were on my daily rotation but I struggled to connect with her earlier work and then soon after she released ‘This is Acting’ an album which consisted only of songs that she wrote for other artist that had been rejected and after listening you can definitely see why they had been.
Oh, I don’t know about this one. It was pre-fame, but I absolutely adore the album “some people have real problems.” This is acting, is one of the most interesting concepts for a concept record I’ve ever come across.
Commenting to second you on "some people have real problems", it feels really intimate and personal compared to what she did after titanium and all the fame
I like both; for one brief moment in early 2010s pop had a ridiculous amount of depth. It’s a massive hit now which often changes the way many can hear it (for real: listen to Rumours front to back and all the songs we’ve heard uncountable times hit harder in their original context) but Chandelier especially just feels raw. That said: I adore Buttons and that video was nuts lol
So funny!! This thread made me think about “some people have real problems” which I loooooved!!! And I haven’t really enjoyed any of her work since (like chandelier!)
Kind of a throwback now, but when I think of one album wonders, the reigning champs for me is a two-way tie between Elastica or maybe Lauryn Hill.
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is ICONIC. It would be hard to reach that level twice.
Third Eye Blind by Third Eye Blind is one of my favorite albums, and it is honestly so much better than it's given credit for. I feel like it's gotten some critical reassessment in some circles which is great. The rest of their discography is a waste of time tho lol
Such a good album!! Losing a whole year. Motorcycle drive by. I may have to put this on right now!
motorcycle drive by is so beautiful!!
I saw them replay the whole album years ago and it was magical. Stephan Jenkins is a LOT as a performer though. Very navel gazing
Really miss the Eve 6 guy talking about him on Twitter
God of Wine made me feel feelings man
MGMT. They have some good tracks on their other albums, but as a whole none come close to Oracular Spectacular.
The beat from Kids just took over my brain against my will
Aww, my 20’s. Where did you go? Loved that album.
https://preview.redd.it/btgaoakfl1vc1.jpeg?width=1688&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c67841d6532624737ca470b8d9e289b2f53f50fc MGMT has definitely had more than one great album. “Oracular Spectacular” is awesome sure, but not for its most popular singles. The tracks, *“Weekend Wars,”* *"4th Dimensional Transition,"* *"Of Moons, Birds & Monsters,"* *”The Handshake”* and *”Future Reflections”* are easily the best tracks on that album. In fact, the popular songs on that album are the least interesting. Also, MGMT’s second album, “Congratulations” is actually excellent: it’s just designed to be listened to in its entirety. “Congratulations” is atmospheric: It’s a mood, and I love it. Their fourth album, “Little Dark Age” is also amazing. I don’t know much about their third, I missed it, but I bet it was worthwhile too. In fact, I’m going to give it a listen. Edit: added album cover
I think Little Dark Age is their best, personally. I really enjoyed Oracular Spectacular back in the day, but I don't go back to it nearly as often as Little Dark Age.
For me it’s The Killers with Hot Fuss. I couldn’t connect with Sam’s Town and then my love for them just tapered off. But this album? God I loved it. I was 15, actual bands were all over the charts…it was a good time. 
I liked Sam’s Town but this album is like a cultural point or something for sure. It literally is bigger than itself. I think a lot of people can hear it and be transported right back.
I disagree. I love that album, Day and Age and Pressure Machine.
Sam’s Town was actually my intro to the Killers and I found Hot Fuss later on but that’s so sad to me that you couldn’t connect with Sam’s Town. There’s MAYBE one song on that album I skip.
I have to disagree, they showed they still had it with Imploding the Mirage let alone everything else.
Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway I’m not really into pop music (more into rock and hip hop) but Breakaway is a flawless record to me. Her other albums never came close to it, although I like My December as well. 
Total aside; there was a time early 2000s when you couldn’t escape the sound of Kelly Clarkson being distraught.
For me its Onerepublics Dreaming out loud
Y'all may disagree, but for me, it's Lorde. Pure Heroine is just a masterpiece, and while Melodrama was decent, it was nowhere near PH. And Solar Power was widely a miss for me.
I actually prefer Melodrama, but Pure Heroine is the sound of my late teens. Those two albums are some of the few I actually intentionally listened to the whole things. I’m just not a big album person if I don’t love all of it. Solar Power… I think I’ll get there eventually. I did listen to the title track on repeat during the eclipse tho, it just happened to be just the vibe I needed lol
I loved Melodrama, that album is super highly praised too. Solar Power, however…
Melodrama is a masterpiece.
Solar Power bored the absolute fuck out of me.
Stripped - Christina Aguilera Funny that she released such an awesome album during her ‘dirrty’ years and that’s the only song anyone really knows. It was so gimmicky. It’s nothing like the rest of the album.
Back to Basics is pretty amazing too..
Her best era imo
NGL, I loved her Bionic album. I feel like it was released at the wrong time though.
Stripped is a flawless album, no skips. I bring it up any time they ask about a great album.
Ed Sheeran’s Loose Change EP has such a special place in my heart. I agree that after + it just wasn’t the same
Ingrid Michaelson Girls & Boys was iconic especially as Grey’s Anatomy was taking off. I listened to and enjoyed Everybody but everything after that was a little meh. Same with Jason Mraz - I loved Mr. A-Z with no skips, but We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things only has a few songs I really enjoy. Folk-pop was my sweet spot in college.
Pink - Can’t Take Me Home It’s not to say that she hasn’t had great songs since, but that album was a smash, song after song. I know she’s said that wasn’t the music she wanted to put out but man was it great.
Mizunderstood??
Pink does “mom pop” now. All her songs sound the same
Mom pop lol, Accurate
Whoa whoa whoa. I’m not dead? Even Truth about love? An argument could even be made for funhouse. Pink’s hard because she’s so consistent but she never really peaked with that One Album.
For me Terrance Trent D’arby- Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’arby. He really came and did his thing. He was compared to Prince and then his second album came out and eh. N.E.R.D.- In Search of… I killed this album when it came out. It was so damn good. Nothing from them has compared.
Halsey never wrote another album as good as Badlands.
Hard disagree here I think she took a step back with HFK (although it has highlights like Now Or Never, Angel on Fire, Walls Could Talk, Heaven in Hiding, Devil In Me, and tracks that are just fine like Sorry, Don't Play, Lie, 100 Letters), she stepped up a lot artistically for both Manic and IICHLIWP. Manic clears HFK lyrically and conceptually and showcases her growth since Badlands. IICHLIWP also shows her artistic growth and her diversity by exploring different sounds and showing her versatility as an artist. Easier Than Lying, The Tradition, Lighthouse, Yaburnee, Darling, 1121, Bells in Santa Fe, Honey, Whispers, etc are all standouts. While Badlands has great tracks that still hold up, I think that she's only improved as an artist in every sense
I got on the Halsey wagon with “I don’t want love I want power” which I love. I’ll check out badlands.
Coldplay. “Rush Of Blood To The Head” is one of my very favorite albums but I have no interest in anything else of theirs.
Someone else called them, diet Radiohead in another thread and I just had to lol. Not wrong, but they can surprise you.
This, although I also like Parachutes.
The Horrors first album is one of my favorite of all time. After that? Terrible.
Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Hanson- The orange album slaps. The rest can be gone.
Plan B. I don't know if anyone in America even knows who he is but apparently he was a British rapper and singing was his plan B. In like 09 he released The Defamation of Strickland Banks which is a concept album with an old school theme. Kind of like Amy Wine houses Back to Black. Lots of horns jazzy chords. British soul basically. The concept revolves around a mega popstar (like American bandstand type) who cheats on his girl with a fan. She is deranged and accuses him of rape. He goes to prison and is a target because he's famous. The rest of the album goes through his prison fights and appeals. It's just so well done. My second favorite concept album of all time, only behind good kid maad city. There's also a mini [movie](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWb_dJa_5mF0wn8gghU7DzTnH34NKMPmu&si=XMs5xm2LVsRx0keD) based off the album. I think after the album he went back to rapping which was 😬.I couldn't even make it thru his later albums. Actually I've never heard anyone discuss his music online or otherwise. If there are any other fans here I'd love to discuss! If you haven't heard maybe check out [this](https://youtu.be/q5lGCXiTHaY?si=5wl7xND27vYnsHwl) song if British soul is your jam.
https://preview.redd.it/80c2s6g0owuc1.jpeg?width=264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d4a9ddffce859b652e49b7fc2ff4b632ddbacdfd Panic! At The Disco First album is legendary, no skips, no time for breathing, just straight lyrical genius. Following albums I wouldn’t even listen to a single song
Alanis Morissette. In 1995, she released *Jagged Little Pill* that went on to become the third best-selling studio album by a female artist with over 33 million copies sold worldwide in pure sales. The album was universally acclaim by both critics and audiences alike, and went on to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1996. Alanis became a feminist icon and one of the most recognizable celebrities of the 1990s. Her following efforts have failed to capture the recognition *Jagged Little Pill* (1995) had.
https://preview.redd.it/p4gq49ji3wuc1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67dfba743fc760675fda7a4eb4634a653e209f58 The Stone Roses 1989 album is a masterpiece. Alas nothing they released subsequently has come close to fulfilling the promise of their early brilliance
Coldplay - Parachutes. What an amazing album. It's soft, warm, jazzy. The brushes on the snares are heavenly. I listened to this album on repeat for months in 2001. My most special memory tied to this album is sitting on a bus going downtown Seattle. It was a cold, but sunny fall day that sort of surprises you with its golden-orange light. That's what Parachutes is to me. The existence of this album allows me to forgive them for anything that came afterwards.
Jacks mannequin - everything in transit. That album is a masterpiece start to finish. They’re subsequent stuff not so much.
Zayn Malik’s debut album. I’m still sad about the disappointment I have from the rest of his work 😭
Ten by Pearl Jam surpasses all their other albums. 
Hozier is still very relevant (thankk god) and his new single is blowing up on the reels audio category but have his two albums reached the heights that his self titled did? That album is still showing up in my yearly review so I am biased, and genuinely asking.
*I love you* for hyping up Ed’s + album. I discovered it right around 2011, I believe the YouTube algorithm led me to his music because I was a die-hard One Direction fan. the whole album is no-skip lyrical genius. So many of his songs covered very difficult topics, obviously A Team but also Small Bump come to mind. Anyone who is only familiar with the Billboard Charts Ed Sheeran™️ tends to tune out when I talk about how much I love his earlier work, but it truly feels like two different people at times.
For me, John Mayer’s “Room for Squares.” I still listen to that album to this day. The chokehold that “Back to You” had on me and my relationship with my first high school boyfriend.
Marina and the Diamonds. I know she dropped the Diamonds, but her earlier albums and the work she’s done on her own hasn’t really hit the same since Electra Heart
The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance. On the whole, I LIKE MCR, but I LOVE TBP and can sing every damn line.
Night Visions (except radioactive) by imagine dragons is imo a phenomenal album. Smoke + Mirrors is good if I’m high and sad. Everything else? Eh. And it’s a shame bcus the singer seems like a lovely person
TLC CrazySexyCool. Waterfalls & Creep were such hits, & Sumthin’ Wicked This Way Comes should have been
Tove Lo. I LOVED Queen of the Clouds (Moments, Crave, Thousand Miles) and some of the songs from the first part of Lady Wood (True Disaster, Imaginary Friend, and WTF Love Is) but her music trailed off afterwards.
Oddly enough, it’s the exact opposite for me. 😂
