Live-Throwing Copper. It's an absolute masterpiece. Their other albums have some gems, but the rest of the discography is nowhere near the quality of TC.

M83. "Hurry up we're dreaming" may not be perfect but it's a great album all their other stuff pales in comparison to.

"Wolfmother" by Wolfmother. Period.

"Cruelty and the beast" by Cradle of Filth, although they had a good run around that time.

"Origin of symmetry" by Muse. It is the almost perfect sweet spot between too rough and too polished in their discography.

"Seeds" by TV on the radio.

"Boy King" by Wild Beasts.

"Passage" by Samael was peak song writing and composing. A text book concept album. Brilliant.

"The Four Seasons" by Antonio Vivaldi. Absolute banger, not an album though.

Linkin Park.

Hybrid Theory was amazing, but most of their other albums were mostly "meh" for me. Meteora had a couple of good songs, but that's about it.

Songs for the Deaf. A very brief moment QOTSA existed in that form and nothing before or after even gets close.

How about we take it a step further: Gotye's song "Somebody That I Used to Know" is sooooo different from the rest of his discography. The rest of that album is great but is stylistically very different and never blew me away like that one single.

Daft Punk for me. Random Access Memories is perfect from start to finish but their other albums don't do much for me even though I like many of the songs.

Endtroducing by DJ Shadow was life-changing, but everything after that… meh.

In the realm of 90s Canadian quirky-core folk rock, Crash Test Dummies... Well, I'm cheating a bit. Their debut album is indeed right up my alley, and even today there's not a miss on it. Alternately funny and maudlin and nerdy, it was jauntily, unabashedly country-adjacent folk. One track even helped with the early chipping away at the walls of prejudice I was raised with as a southern-fried Mormon. I remain very fond of the album, though I only listen to it once or twice a year.

The reason I say I'm cheating is because I really did like God Shuffled His Feet as well, even Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm, but "quirky" was broadening into self-parody and even teenage me could hear it on several tracks. A Worm's Life was... okay, I guess, sort of, but forgettable even for a fan, and nothing the band or Brad Roberts or any of he other members did afterwards really recaptured anything like that magic for me.

Probably not a ton of people representing for a meme-voiced 1.5-hit wonder from the early 90s, but I'll stand and be counted, LOL.

Turn on the Bright Lights by Interpol is incredible, in my opinion it's one of, if not the most impressive debut albums I have ever come across. The rest of their discography is ok, but nothing that I would rate anywhere close to that.

Silent Alarm from Bloc Party is such a an absolutely incredible album. Fantastic upbeat indie rock songs spaced out with slower meaningful emotionally powerful love songs. It really takes you on a journey.

Their other albums after have been anywhere from okay to good with a few great tracks here and there, but Silent Alarm is just head and shoulders above the rest. If I were ever able to write a song as good as Helicopter, Banquet, This Modern Love, or Luno... I'd die happy.

Maroon 5 - Songs About Jane.

They used to be so delightfully unique and funky. They're just sellouts now.

Garbage V2.0

That'd be Gorillaz for me. I can appreciate them, but not my thing. But, Demon Days is so damn good, love it start to finish

The Strokes. Their debut *Is This It *is one of the best if not the best Rock debuts. Eveything else after is just meh to me.

Metallica: Ride the Lightning

I love this album, but can't stand any of their other stuff.

Infected Mushroom.

Classical Mushroom is fucking amazing to the point I can hear the whole album in my head including every note if I want. But after that it just fell apart.

Black Sabath Paranoid. Their other stuff has a decent song here and there, but this album is my favorite.

Fatboy Slim, You've Come a Long Way Baby I could listen (and have) all the way through for decades. Barely even had a few singles after that I enjoyed. Was very disappointing.

Not one perfect and the rest bad, but more masterpiece to pretty good to dogshit to hot dogshit to ok.

Powerman 5000.

Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt. I love everything about that album, even today. Their other stuff is OK at best. Just not my thing.

A Fever you can't Sweat Out by Panic! At the Disco. I don't know what happened after that album but it wasn't good.

Megadeth. Rust in Peace is a masterpiece. The rest of the albums are just boring.

Pearl Jam Ten. I wore that album out and everything they put out afterwards just wasn’t even remotely the same for me.

Foster the People.

Their first album is brilliant, with not one bad song on it. The rest of their stuff is shite.

Parachutes by Coldplay was a really good kind of alt-indie-pop album. Much more stripped down than the rest of their catalog. Everything since then has either been overproduced or soulless.

Gravity by Canadian alt-rock band Our Lady Peace

It comes from the middle of their discography in 2002, and while it's short at only 10 tracks, it packs an incredible amount of energy. I've tried several times to listen to the rest of their catalogue but it's maybe just a little too alternative for me. Can't get enough of Gravity though.

Alice in Chains - Dirt. Like, you can't get any better than that and their quality after Dirt was wildly fluctuating and it didn't help that the band was dealing with a struggling Layne Staley until his death.

Sabaton - The Art of War. A handful of my favorite tracks is coming off from this album (Ghost Division, Firestorm .etc). A lot of this band's discography, I like a max amount of like 4 songs per album while the rest is forgettable. But Art of War has just a little more to it.

Disturbed - Believe. This is easily one of my favorite albums of all time and definitely my favorite album of all of the Disturbed discography. Their sound matured off from The Sickness and it was only their sophomore album. Their quality of sound gradually decreased every album release since to where I'll only find a favorite track or two from them.

For me is Silent alarm by Bloc Party.

P.O.D. I legitimately did not know they released other albums because Satellite was that good. I listened to them. I shouldn’t have.

Epsilon by Blood Stain Child
Melodic death metal with techno/trance

I don't care for the Beatles, but I love the white album
