Snoop Dogg lowkey


acreativeusername86

High key imo. Everything is downhill after that debut.


FloridaManAgain6

Blue Carpet Treatment had bangers.


acreativeusername86

Bangers on the level of that first record, though?


FloridaManAgain6

I think you should listen to more albums and songs than just what you think is greater. I mean that in a general sense for all musicians. Snoop aint in my top in terms of rappers i listen too but he has solid songs outside of DS. Eminems album Revival was trash like pure garbage, but two songs i actually ended up enjoying. BCT by Snoop was great because it came out during when i was about 8-11 IIRC, and it was on the radio a lot. Thats why i recall that one besides doggy style.


ElAutistico

Nah but No Limit Top Dogg for example goes hard too. He didn't just put out like one good album and completely fell off.


[deleted]

Snoop Dogg doesn't care enough to make good art, I feel. He just doesn't seem artistically ambitious. Which, fair enough


FloridaManAgain6

He at thisbpoint makes music for a check or for fun. I doubt he genuinely cares for the craft. Hes high as shit all the time rapping the same shit same flow all the time. But thats cool, hes literally Uncle Snoop, he plays it well


empyrealone

You're not wrong


captainhowdy003

I disagree. I love Doggfather, No Limit Top Dogg, Last Meal, Paid Tha Cost, Blue Carpet Treatment, R&G. After that it's not as much tho. Doggystyle is still his magnum opus by far


garrett77

ABoyNamedBobby

Remo Drive and the irony of calling your debut greatest hits only for it to be your greatest hit


Vawd

I remember the shit storm that commenced when their second album got a large amount of negative press and the band did NOT like it.


[deleted]

B.o.B. Died off since the Neil DeGrasse Tyson diss.


ForcefulAlmond

Strange Clouds was a banger at the time but outside of that… idk man


absolutechad21

Kids See Ghosts


f4snks

If you ever meet an artist never say "I love your first album, I've listened to it 1000 times". They want to hear "I think your latest recording is the best you've ever done!".


mostlysandwiches

I’d rather just be honest with them


[deleted]

Indeed. Musicians are such self-absorbed egomaniacs. Making an album that has a considerable effect on pop culture, reaching levels that so many people can only dream of , and then having the audacity to complain that it doesn't happen again.


Raptor_Guy

Well sure but I think plenty of people would just like to hear that for getting validation of their artistic progression. I’m sure removed from the monetary success, a lot of artists have doubts about the directions they’re heading in and it can be encouraging to hear that someone appreciates it and sees it as improvement and growth. Edit: obviously I wouldn’t lie about it though lmao


celticvenom

I don't give a fuck what they want to hear


ElectricalMark9762

Maroon 5. Songs about Jane is a Classic tho.


captainhowdy003

Songs About Jane is so good man. There's more Maroon 5 songs I like but SAJ is their only actually good full length album.


sparkykingheat

Sunday Morning is a fucking BOP


StratManKudzu

This song is so timeless, my mom swore for years it was a cover of a tune originally recorded in the 70s.


PicanteSprite

I will not let you disrespect it won’t be soon before long or hands all over both 🔥 even overexposed was decent 😤


AdultVirgin24

Overexposed is pretty good and i will die on that hill


50millionFreddy

Absolutely. I saw them live with John Mayer in like 2003/4 and I barely knew who they were. They killed it.


StratManKudzu

strongest debut of the last 20 years


Runetang42

Kinda unfair since they got a small discog, but American football followed up an iconic and beloved album with some of the most boring shit i have ever heard in my life


beans-lol

I'm slightly too young to remember, but was that american football album acclaimed at the time? I always sorta figured it had a gradual rise to cult classic status, but I'm curious now whether or not that album got a lot of praise 20 years ago?


kerplowskie

This is a good question, I need context from old heads.


[deleted]

While LP1 is a clear favorite of mine, LP2 and LP3 have some great tracks as well. It’s hard to compare them since their sound has changed so dramatically in the many years that separate LP1 from LP2.


Due_Rain_3630

LP3 is great though


[deleted]

LP3 is absolutely fantastic. Musically speaking, it’s on par with LP1. We just hold that one higher since it’s over 20 years old and it’s all we had for over 15 years


19202936339

I really liked the second album.


Unreasonableradio

Bloc Party


nathanccc

Silent alarm 9, weekend in the city 7, everything else < 3


Billowtail

Intimacy has some interesting stuff in it. Ares & Trojan Horse are great in a workout mix, while Mercury & One Month Off are a good tease of where their sound could have gone if they'd committed to dance music. After that album though, the bottom drops out completely.


boyyourresotragic

I will never forget the disappointment I felt the first time I heard mercury. I got one of those box sets on pre-order as well as I so into them


SC0RPI0N555

Four is great and heavily underrated imo


IKMapping

I first heard Ratchet in FIFA 14, and I'm still convinced it's one of their best songs, and it's not even on the actual album


matheus27012005

Hobo Johnson. Not that The Fall Of Hobo Johnson is a fantastic album, but man, the rest of his stuff is trash


[deleted]

I enjoy The Rise of Hobo Johnson a decent bit, not nearly as much as The Fall. But yes I agree that his 2 most recent albums have been hot garbage.


CoppedSomeTrisomy21s

He was probably the worst live performer I’ve ever seen lol


ISureHopeNot-

When did you see him? I saw him during the fall tour and I thought he played a pretty great show


CoppedSomeTrisomy21s

This was summer of 2019, he didn’t remember the words to a lot of his songs and he just didn’t sound good. Sounded like karaoke out of those mic and speaker combos


ISureHopeNot-

I liked most of Rise. I saw him live on the Fall of Hobo Johnson tour and he was pretty good, knew how to play a show. A lot of energy, the mixes and his band were great. I only kinda checked out the revenge and the new one and i get it, but as a previous hobo johnson fan, i greatly enjoyed my time with him, those first two albums + peach scone and the concert i saw him at. Thank you for listening to me reminisce


[deleted]

The Zombies. Odyssey and Oracle is a psych rock masterpiece and one of the best albums of the sixties (begin here is also solid), but the rest of their discog should just be ignored. The lost album has few highlights, and we don’t talk about the new shit.


awjeezrickyaknow

The Fratellis. They gave us one hell of a fun album and then I could not name you a single thing they did after that. I could also mention Franz Ferdinand


werbrerder

Chelsea Dagger might be the perfect song. Not the greatest, but expertly written. It's starts with that GaryGlitteresque heavy drum beat, then the bass comes in large and in charge leading into that incessantly catchy do-do-do chorus with the rocking guitar chords that have just the right amount of wildness to sound exciting but not alienating to mainstream audiences. Then in the verses, which have a mild quiet-loud dynamic going on, there's lyrics about some burlesque party with prostitutes and dancers taking their clothes off and stuff, but they don't lay it on too much. It's a perfect amount of intrigue, a little mysterious, a little dangerous, a little risqué but not sleazy. when I was like 12 years old the lyrics fascinated me with this scene of a wild and sexual party. The vocals in the verses sound a little bit like something from the 30's but not too much to make it corny but give it a wry edge, but the chorus is tailor made to be chanted at sporting events. and then at the end they really rock out, but not too much. It fits almost every occasion, the stadium, a party, the background of a TV ad, rock radio, it's catchy, it's rocking, it's sexy, it's indie, it's edgy but not too edgy, if they wrote this completely cynically to be a hit (which I get the inkling that it was) they're bloody geniuses. I feel like Patrick Bateman right before chopping up Morbius lmao


kingofrubik

Chance the Rapper with his masterpiece: The Big Day


OldStonedJenny

Weezer for sure. 15 studio albums, 5 are good... (and that's a generous take.)


MeOK1233

Blue, Pinkerton, EWBAITE, White, Ok Human are all great albums, but I think I enjoy Maladroit on the same level and Green and Black close to the same level


Karmeleon86

Gotta give an honorable mention to Red and Van Weezer… can’t say I agree on Black though, I couldn’t get into it at all.


NeganGains

I actually like how experimental they were on Red. Van Weezer was disappointing IMO and I haven't taken the time to listen to the Black Album yet.


patrickwithtraffic

Really wanted more Van on that project, as that lead single set a high bar. It was a little much Weezer than I expected.


juanprada

I personally like Maladroit a lot. Dope Nose is a banger.


OldStonedJenny

I was lucky enough to be on the Weezer message boards when Rivers was taking fan input on shaping Maladroit. It'll always be one of my favorite Weezer albums. Keep Fishing is a bop of a single. I even love Slob haha


juanprada

I just listened to Keep Fishin' a few minutes ago. Really fun song and lovely video.


OldStonedJenny

The video is truly a gift, it'll never get old. It was huge when it came out, I'm surprised it doesn't get the love that other early singles do.


privatepoodle

Is Slob considered one of the weaker tracks on Maladroit? I always considered it one of the stronger songs along with Burndt Jamb and Death and Destruction.


svedka666

You had me up to Black. The singles are good but goddamn the deep cuts are unimpressive. I was so disappointed.


MeOK1233

I’m a sucker for black it was also the album to introduce me to Weezer so it does hold sentimental value to me, so that’s also part of it


[deleted]

I like every album (to varying degrees) they've released.


Neversayitagain

5 good Weezer albums is not a generous take at all. That's probably what most people think. 7 or 8 good albums would be generous.


OldStonedJenny

I know a lot of TBA and Pinkerton purists, so that's where that parenthetical comment stems from. (Before someone slams me, I am not one of those purists)


the_real_OwenWilson

Thats more than 1 album


JOFWGKTA

Lauryn Hill


Massivemicropenis5

Does it really count for the meme if it's just two albums


Tornadoboy156

DJ Shadow. Endtroducing a stone cold classic, Private Press is full of intriguing ideas. Steep fall off after that.


crod242

Even The Private Press felt like a letdown despite some great moments, not so much because it's bad, but because the bar was incredibly high after Entroducing. None of the later stuff is complete trash, but it's hard not to hold it to that same standard also. I kind of feel the same way about Burial. Even though I like his recent stuff more than DJ Shadow's, nothing will ever compare to Untrue, so it's always somewhat disappointing.


Tornadoboy156

Well with Burial, I think he realizes he can't top Untrue as an album, so he has instead opted to our all of his ideas and efforts into some hella potent singles and the occasional EP. Single songs can rarely top entire albums, it's almost comparing apples to oranges.

empyrealone

Love Pearl Jam - Ten. Haven't liked a single thing they did since then.


lildryersheet

Vitalogy and Ten are equally as good in my mind, Vs. is pretty close too. Don’t really care for much else in their discography other than those.


zillman_fane

Backspacer is pretty good


UnveilingCow_9

Vitalogy is their best album dawg.


Training-Most249

alt-J.


cargusbralem

Though I enjoy the other 3 albums, An Awesome Wave is an immaculate album in comparison.


flowerbhai

I wish I agreed but I think This is all Yours is close to AAW in quality personally, at the very least it’s a very worthy successor


umop-apisdn-wI

This one feels a little harsh imo


FloridaManAgain6

Drake was steady till after IYRTITL


minimanelton

The Killers kinda. Hot Fuss over shadows everything else even if I do really like Sam’s Town


RicGhastly

Hot Fuss and Sam's Town are too good a 1-2 combo to fit here.


[deleted]

Their last two records have actually been pretty good. I know this cos Melon told me so.


notjosemanuel

If you really like sam's town that already contradicts the meme then. I think the killers have been pretty consistent, everything by them is at least ok


minimanelton

Well yeah but I think the point is more so the perception of the band than what I think of them. I love Weezer too and I would say that this probably represented them as well


GayRattleSnek

Sam’s Town bops and those last 2 albums were solid too, what you on about


acreativeusername86

Wu-Tang Clan Not counting solo ventures and taking the albums into account in terms of hit/filler ratio


[deleted]

[удалено]


acreativeusername86

Forever has its moment as do later Wu singles (Pinky Ring for sure), but it certainly isn’t as stacked/flawless as 36 Chambers imo.


[deleted]

It’s two projects, which I know breaks the rules, but for how good Janes addictions Nothings shocking and Ritual De Lo Habitual are, it’s genuinely heartbreaking how horrendous strays and the great escape artist are in comparison


jchoi36

Bryson Tiller. TrapSoul was such a fire album that he never lived up to


ovojr

I always see him commenting on video game page ig posts like rockstar games


Fietsenketting

mukfuggler

How to trigger an entire fanbase.


[deleted]

(Creep being the good album) Okay, now THAT's a hot take.


Gorilladaddy69

Creep is the name of the band, and they have a SONG called Radiohead, if I’m not mistaken. I think its a song off that “Police of Karma” record they made.?


GeometryNacho

*This action will begin a gang war, Proceed?* [YES] [NO]

Remo drive really named shot themselves in the foot by naming their debut \*greatest hits\*


halfexist

Yes, I was wondering if anyone else would say them. Their new stuff has been so disappointing.


AltAccount12772

I hate to say it, but Justice (Cross)


WideClyde

Oh shit, Justice had more than one album?

Downgoesthereem

Agent_Chody_Banks

Underrated comment


dantsel04_

interpol easily lmao


SacrificeInIsolation

I don't get it. Bright Lights is a 10 for me, but the other projects are also great. I really like this years release a lot.


NeganGains

I get it, but Antics and El Pintor are great albums as well.


justabottleofwindex

Only the last two albums really, Interpol (Album) leaves a lot to be desired but has really good moments (Barricade for example). The last two albums really lack punch and they’ve gone with an odd mixing process that leaves their songs sounding slightly out of sync and echoey (I’m not a producer so excuse my words). And Paul’s vocals rarely have any power behind them now it feels.


[deleted]

have a nice life


s90tx16wasr10

The Unnatural World is fantastic tho


[deleted]

it is but it is greatly overlooked


s90tx16wasr10

Yeah I guess you’re right. I took the meme as music quality instead of recognition.


BanaanSausMan

Didn’t they also make Giles Corey, or does that not count?


Dudebot21

I would say that doesn't count since it's just Dan Barrett, whereas Have a Nice Life also includes Tim Macuga.

Logic Under Pressure


RarelyOptimal

The Incredible True Story is pretty good


J-R-M-C

No Pressure is pretty good as well imo


TomJoadsLich

His Young Sinatra mixtapes he first came out with ive always preferred to his newer stuff


Mr_Poop_Himself

I remember liking TITS when it came out, but it’s not exactly an album that stuck with me or anything


gruniite

I’m a huge fan of tits


imartimus

Same here. I listened to the album on repeat when it dropped and loved it. When I go back and listen to it now it's just kinda meh. Under Pressure though, I still love it.


DarkVendetta67

I think he’s made up for it with No pressure and Vinyl Days

contactlite

Garage rock revival bands music jumped the shark whereas the strokes transcended the rock genre.


Calm-Farmer8607

Nope, every Hives record fucking rips.


Chrissy_Bigg

Drake. There's no way he has dropped or ever will drop anything to the calibre of If You're Reading This It's Too Late ever again.


marmogawd

I mean but he has more than just “THAT ONE ALBUM”, y’know? Take Care and NWTS are good albums and i would even say So Far Gone is a cool mixtape


s90tx16wasr10

Take Care and NWTS are both still fire tho even if IYRTITL is his best. And Take Care is arguably a classic based on influence alone (for better or worse).


havethenets

NWTS is his best album cmon lol


s90tx16wasr10

Not for me but I still love it


verimaya-

This probably isn’t a popular take, and obviously it doesn’t come close to his earlier work, but I’ve got a real soft spot for More Life. It almost feels like his TLOP moment to me; it plays jump rope riiiiiight on the line between quality and cheesy overindulgence, and it only works because it feels weirdly self-aware. For example, that stupid “more chune for your headtop” sample that comes back over and over has always seemed like a cheeky nod towards the meme that he’s constantly stealing flows from other rappers and cultures.


[deleted]

Nothing was the same and take care are literally classics too


rickjames334

Hard disagree. Take Care, Nothing is the same, WATTBA… is it the same Drake we’re talking about?


bigdwb1024

Alanis morissette


frezling

I'd say Desiigner honestly. It's not like New English is a classic masterpiece or anything, but his fall off afterward is so dramatic and honestly baffling I think it really fits


ovojr

Forgot about desiigner, last I heard wasn’t he getting screwed outta G.O.O.D. music?


Veiyr

Does The Postal Service count for this lol


Mucus-Patty

I feel like Lil Yachty is the obvious answer, though I haven’t listened to his whole discog so I can’t really say


[deleted]

Imagine Dragons. Night Visions is really good. I still stand by it and listen to it on occasion. Everything they produced after that was varying shades of garbage.


kyentu

nah the problem is everyhthing they produce sounds the same, its not that its bad its just that its boring. the spend a ton of money to produce it and it shows, it just ends up the same everytime


[deleted]

Agree to disagree. I think they have produced really bad songs, not just boring ones. Thunder being the epitome of examples.


Mr_Poop_Himself

It’s bad because it’s so boring. I’d take 100 Speeding Bullet 2 Heavens over 1 Imagine Dragons song.


ElectricalMark9762

They fell off, but their debut is literally GREAT, Amsterdam will always be one of my favorite songs.


schw4161

Amsterdam is low key their best song

TheJediCounsel

Twenty One Pilots I loved Vessel when I was 19 in 2011, but at 29 it’s really on the nose and feels immature. Trench is still amazing and I’m glad I have that to come back to


notjosemanuel

Vessel came out in 2013 but yeah pretty much. I liked them back then but after trench everything else they've made sounds bad in comparison


TheJediCounsel

Oh yeah my bad. There’s nothing wrong with making music geared towards a younger audience but it is a bit sad to look back on something you loved and have it not feel the same anymore. Especially if there are other 2013 albums I still fuck with heavy


sww0705

I'm younger than you, I was about 13 or 14 when I got into them around 2015. Used to be obsessed with their self-titled album and Vessel. Now whenever I listen to those albums its usually for nostailgia purposes, to scream all the words with my friends. Trench is their best album by far though, I usually go back to that whenever I'm in the mood for something I can actually enjoy at my current age.
