U2, except for The Joshua Tree.
Some of their stuff from before that is good, but I never bothered to listen to it very much. Everything after Joshua Tree is unlistenable to me.
U2. War, and nothing else. I call them the Pretentious Wankers.
thx, also true for me …
U2’s - TJT is really a league of its own … and I also agree on the pretentious wankers comment …
found another one: INXS - Kick … great album … all the rest I don’t care for …
REO Speedwagon
Hi Infidelity is probably in my top 10 albums of all time. Add Can’t Fight This Feeling. Beyond that they don’t do much for me.
Blondie’s No Exit. They have a song here or there from their earlier and later albums that I enjoy, but No Exit is a lot better than their other albums.
“Hotel California”. Just like with U2 (seemingly like other people here) I have a love/hate relationship with the Eagles, but HC is by far their best studio album and and a classic. All their other albums are kinda boring, though they all contain some gems of songs, most of which are on their “Greatest Hits” which I also like, but I guess compilations don’t count for this thread.
I should really be in to Radiohead, with my age and other musical tastes but I can’t get into them. But I think Ok Computer is one of the greatest albums of all time.
Also the Flaming Lips…never cared for anything they’ve done but I am obsessed with Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots.
I can’t stand Pink Floyd. Every time I hear a song of theirs on the radio I change the station.
But… I love their first album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. It’s awesome. (In all fairness, I really ought to check out A Saucerful of Secrets. I haven’t heard it yet.)
The only Queensryche album I have listened to is Empire with the great songs “Silent Lucidity”, “Jet City Woman”, “Best I Can”, “Another Rainy Night (Without You)” , “The Thin Line”, and “Anybody Listening?”.
I love almost all Floyd, but TPATGOD really is a different beast than any of their other stuff. It’s the only album that’s dominated by Syd Barrett and showcases his quirky way of writing and performing songs. Later Floyd was also great, but always much too serious and humorless. It already began with “A Saucerful Of Secrets”, so I can’t really recommend it to you with the exception of “Jugband Blues”, which is Barrett’s only contribution for that album.
I remembered a few more:
I love The Dead Milkmen’s debut album Big Lizard in My Backyard. I’ve probably played it a thousand times, and figured out the bass lines for all the songs. I’ve checked out some of their other albums and… eh, not impressed.
Lou Reed’s album Transformer is awesome. His other solo stuff? Ugh. (And many music critics say that the success of Transformer was primarily due to the talents of Mick Ronson, not Lou Reed. I can buy that.)
The only Whitesnake album I liked was their 1987 self-titled album
Every Picture Tells a Story by Rod Stewart is a great album, IMO. I don’t care for his other stuff.
Def Leppard, but their debut LP ‘On Through the Night’ was good straight up un hyphenated hard rock. Much much better than the radio friendly poppy material that came later.
The only Neil Young album I like is Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. And I like it a lot. Of course there are many I haven’t heard.
The only Fleetwood Mac album that’s any good is Kiln House. Nothing momentous, but fun to listen to.
Katy Perry generally isn’t my kind of music in general, but I consider Teenage Dream to be one of the greatest pop albums ever recorded.
I’ve got one that might be controversial in certain circles: “0304” by Jewel. When that album came out Jewel’s fans were dismayed. The style is very unlike her previous work. But I wasn’t a Jewel fan and I loved this album.
The thing about Neil Young is that it seems every album is a different genre. You don’t have to like every one, and I’d be surprised if there more than a few people that do.
What, no love for Beelzebubba? You infidel!
