Badly Describe a Band's Discography


Union 5-3992

Recommended Posts

The Cars and Duran Duran for millennials!

I’m obsessed with Springsteen, U2 and Meat Loaf!

Lead single with a weird lyric based on a Hunter S Thompson quote.

We’re slowly starting to sound like our imitators.

We’ve gone full Imagine Dragons.

Please get back to your old selves with your album out this month.

 

The Killers, except the new album has just been delayed. iTunes now lists it's expected release date as....December 31st 2020. :(

 

Van Weezer as well. 2020 doesn’t suck. No no no...it swallows.

 

Probably my two most looked forward to albums of the year so far. Such a shame.

Hoping PW 40 doesn’t get postponed...again. It was supposed to come out the day Gigaton by Pearl Jam came out. It’s scheduled for the last Friday of May. Lot of Rhino reissues have been pushed back in the past year as well since last fall.

what happens when you mash Jeff Buckley drama and falsetto with Nirvana dynamics and angst?

 

And if we focus and add a healthy dose of prog?

 

Let's write some catchier songs but loose none of the drama

 

Let's really start branching out into more pop and electronica and rnb and prog and get some actual radio hits

 

Bigger, more epic, more disparate genres, embrace the Queen-isms, and add an epic symphonic rock finale

 

Let's see how many different bands we can imitate and get away with it, while also scoring our biggest hit thanks to a dash of dubstep

 

We need to get back to our roots, so more heavy guitars and apocalyptic concepts, but also plenty of 80s cheese

 

That was depressing, let's just make a record of glitzy, mindless, synthy pop rock tunes with a full 80s aesthetic, and an extra disk of weirder versions.

Debut album with a song about Ian Curtis.

Name of month

Song about the first day of a month.

Our first top 40 hit and it’s about a civil rights leader.

Two straight number ones and a Grammy.

We’re obsessed with America, made a documentary and have new and live recordings! Singer shows a big ego covering Beatles and Hendrix.

Our best album of the 90s with a new huge Bowie influence and an iconic tour.

Similar sound with a stage persona called Mephisto.

Same danceable beats of the other two except it really sucks.

Comeback album and songs become more relevant a year later in 911.

Let’s count from 1-3 to 14 in Spanish!

We’re slowly turning into a boring Coldplay rip-off.

Free album on iTunes! Yay! But it sucks! Boo!

We’ve officially gone full Maroon 5/Imagine Dragons/Coldplay.

No question. The "civil rights leader" made it pretty obvious which is great. If the clues are too obscure it's not as much fun.

Our signature hit and regarded as our only good song on the album

Don’t write us off as one hit wonders.

The 90’s DSOTM

New decade, new millennium, new sound.

Same sound but not as good.

Let’s join Pearl Jam in the “WE HATE DUBYA!” trend before System Of A Down and Green Day catch on!

Paying is optional. We’re offering it for free.

One of the worst albums ever by a once good band.

Slight improvement but still meh indie rock like their imitators.

Radiohead, knew it from the first one, lol.

 

I quite like A Moon Shaped Pool though.

Southern rock meets Byrd’s jangle pop

Hit song about girlfriend tapped in Ike Turner’s house.

We stuck it to MCA for buying ABC and it pays off!

Female guest vocalist joins us as she embarks in solo career.

Bassist quits and a new one shows up with great background vocals

Going back south.

Hit song co written by Dylan.

Smash solo hit and an ode to the San Fernando Valley.

Same producer as previous and back with band.

Fired my drummer and moved to Warner.

Soundtrack for movie from a young director that was the 90s Woody Allen at one point.

In the tradition of Blood On The Tracks and Tunnel Of Love, the divorce album. Last with the late bassist.

FU corporate music industry! Our old bassist returns.

Back to solo square one.

Bluesy southern rock

First number one album in a very successful career.

Straight Outta Atlanta!

We’re getting experimental.

Fusion of two astrology signs

Apologize to Erykah Badu’s mom and get a number one hit.

Two halves with solo albums as one. Album of the year!

Just like our idol, Prince, let’s do our own movie and soundtrack!

1st number one rap album

Move from Columbia to Capitol with less selling yet influential album

Same style of sampling but with permission as well as instrumentals

70s cop show homage!

Japanese robots and 60s Italian spy films!

Brooklyn, Staten, Bronx, Queens, Manhattan

Nothing but jazzy instrumentals.

Final album while member and now indie movie mogul is dying

Roughly produced but twin flying V's sound amazing.

More polished but still heavy as f**k. Amazing bassist.

Pseudo-prog heavy. Deep in the politics.

An amazing heavy record even with no bottom end. We really wanted that one guy to produce this, he's forgot he has a bottom end too.

Trying for shorter songs. Not Permanent Waves. Still a classic.

5 years off and we suck.

These are the songs that didn't make the last album. Sucks even more.

When you thought we couldn't suck any more than we already did.

Decent comeback. We think so. Even has a long instrumental. Yeah! Pretty sure someone wrote these songs for us.

Another decent record. Kind of sounds like the old stuff. Someone must've wrote these songs for us too.

Amazing first record. Made you forget about Randy for 10 minutes.

This is good, but still kind of sounds the same. Getting a little boring already. Randy would have been more interesting with this style.

Live record - meh. Let's try some Hendrix and make it sound like a robot is playing it. A broken robot.

The rest isn't even worth mentioning. It's sounded the same for 35 years. Really makes you miss Randy.
