[I am not exposed]

None of them.

 

[Behn Wilson]

None of them.

yep

 

[archangel2]

not a single band I like

 

[Shareefruck]

The two Radiohead albums are good and everything else isn't, for my money. Never clicked with those Kendrick Lamar albums, despite their reputation.

He feels the same way I do about posters' musical appreciation.

You have to post music to appreciate first though.

Agreed. I only posted comedy albums. I just wish professional musicians and producers knew as much about music as some of the posters in this thread who don't like any of these artists.

One step at a time.

1. In Rainbows - I think this is Radiohead's most complete album, if not their finest. Maybe it's less ambitious than some of their other albums, but it's immediate and catchy in ways some of their other work isn't. Weird Fishes might be my favourite Radiohead track.
2. Kid A - The album that really made Radiohead Radiohead, after this album it felt like they had the license to release almost anything. They'd broken free from the label of "rock band".
3. Is This It - Radiohead and many of the others heavy hitters of the time were getting further and further away from the stereotypically rock sound as they felt it was played out and that there wasn't much more to explore in the area. But the Strokes embraced the genre and showed there was still room for bands like them.
4. Sound of Silver - At times it makes you want to dance, at other time it makes you want to collapse into your bed, longing for your lost youth and your old friends.
5. Elephant - Jack and Meg White play "simple" tracks. A lot of them are built off of one guitar riff or idea, but they get everything they can out of it and move onto the next track. Sometimes when I listen to this album I feel like it's a brilliant display of restraint, but there are other times where I wonder if they're holding back a bit too much, just so they have something for the next track. I actually think a lot Jack's best work came after The White Stripes, but this is a solid album.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

The first two Strokes albums have always felt like great groove records and good gateway music. The music really went down in quality once Casablancas wasn't the sole songwriter. What he does with The Voidz is really good. He's also got fantastic stage presence.

What a shitty list

 

[hoglund]

None of them.

this is the most correct answer, who chose these?

 

[PANARIN BREAD FAN]

question: those 18 albums listed: is each one considered each group's best one in their catalog. using as an example from the list Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not - is this regarded as their best album as say back in black or highway to hell is regarded as acdc's best? i ask this because i honestly do not know.

all i do know is i've youtubed songs here and there over the years of most of those groups on that list out of curiosity. i saved a lot of money and spared myself from many moments of anger and disappointment,

I like that LCD Soundsystem album and both Radiohead albums. The other two I picked were The Streets and Outkast. Don't love them but definitely like them.

The Streets is one I picked, along with both radiohead and White Stripes and Strokes, but frankly... I'm not a big fan of those last two. I like them enough to vote for them, but I wouldn't likely pick them on most of the other lists that have been posted over the however long it's been.

I'd argue "maybe" is the answer. There are two Radiohead albums, making one of them not the best in their catalog, and even then, many (read: most) would argue that neither of them are their best, but I personally think Kid A is their best and some would agree. There are two Frank Ocean and two Kendrick Lamar, and I think one of each of those is widely considered their best, respectively. The funny thing about Lamar, I probably would have voted for DAMN over the White Stripes, but it's not listed, and not considered his best by most... I just like it because it is simpler.

I can’t stand Radiohead. That strokes album is in my top 20 all time.
