Wolfmother by… Wolfmother
I can name every song and lyric from that album but don’t ask me about anything else by them. Iirc the band basically split post album
Sadly, Guns n Roses, Appetite for Destruction.
Nothing any of them have done since has matched the quality of creativity that they did on aod.
I'm not saying I didn't like the use your illusion pair, and Slash has done some damn good work on specific songs in his various projects. But the band as a whole fell off hard after their very first. Axl in particular kinda lost his songwriting during use your illusion, which had some great songs, but it wasn't consistently great as albums
Death Magnetic is better than Metallica's Metallica. That coming from a person who has been a fan since the 80s.
They Might Be Giants - Flood
A Perfect Circle - 13th Step
Stone Roses - Stone Roses.
Their debut album put them on a very high pedestal that they were never able to match.
Wait a second, no way you're slandering Plastic Beach like that. PB is equal to DD, some days it hits better even.
Plastic Beach is good, but I like Demon Days more. Gorillaz fallen since PB.
Demon days > anything else gorillaZ
Sure, but I wouldn't call PB "falling off." Still, Gorillaz still makes bangers these days, even if the albums themselves aren't as good. Desolé slaps.
Plastic Beach is better for the simple fact that it contains Sweepstakes. I've come to learn that a lot of people dislike that song a great deal, which blows my mind. Mos Def is aces and the production on that track is brilliant.
I'm more of an Empire Ants man myself, but I get what you're saying. It's such a fun album.
Wait you think the Gorillaz fell off after Demon Days???
Not dramatically but it was the best and none topped it.
That's arguable, and even then it could only ever be considered marginally better than Plastic Beach. Even if you don't like the new stuff, PB is fire.

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
Disagree about he falling off. TPAB is probably one of the albuns of the century and gonna be really difficult someone create an album just like TPAB, on hiphop scene.
All media claims TPAB as a masterpiece and they put Kendrick on one level I guess almost nobody can take. And TPAB isnt my favourite album from him. Mr. Morale is a good LP , btw.
This seems to happen with progressive rock at alarming levels. They just reach a point where they take their pretentious bullshit a little too far, and the fans grow weary of it. You saw that with Jethro Tull, which pushed its luck with A Passion Play after scoring a critical success with Thick as a Brick. Yes took it too far with Topographic Oceans. I'm sure ELP has an album where they pushed the envelope a little too far and pushed away the audience in the process. Unfortunately, that had a pendulum effect, with ELP releasing the wimpy Love Beach in an attempt to reel back in those lapsed fans.
I feel like Topographic Oceans could've been way better if it was condensed by almost half its runtime. The songs have cool ideas, but no focus and they all blend together.
Stadium arcadium - red hot chilly peppers
RAM - Daft Punk
Evenessense - fallen
Lateralus - tool

Green Day - Dookie
Radiohead - Kid A/Amnesiac
System of a down - Toxicity
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the deaf
The Offspring - Smash
I love that game!
No way with Green Day. Insomniac, Nimrod, and American Idiot are all excellent.
The thing that impresses me so much about Green Day is that they peaked, had the usual big falloff in quality a few albums later, then they peaked again about a decade after Dookie. I can't think of any other band that managed to do this off the top of my head.
