I listen to most albums this way, if they aren't good through and through I tend not to buy them. Some of these artists are while known, others not so much. I buy their music because they put out albums like this. That being said, here are some of my favorites off the top of my head... The Darkness - Permission to Land, One Way Ticket to Hell and Back, and Hot Cakes (all three are just awesome, period. I don't care what anyone says about this band they are the best thing since Queen. They are so much more than there one radio hit "I believe in a thing called love") Paul Simon - Graceland. Dire Straits - Money for Nothing Paul Oakenfold - Tranceport Atmosphere - Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having Gorillaz - Demon Days Gym Class Heroes - School Children Jamie T - Kings & Queens, and Panic Prevention Jay Z - Black Album Sublime - Sublime Weezer - Blue Album, and Pinkerton
Glad to know someone else has heard his stuff! He's not very popular stateside. Only reason I heard about him is because of a local publicly owned radio station that plays a lot of indy music. Love both his albums though, so awesome.
I know a lot of people like to claim those were their only good albums, but I am a Weezer fan and like many of their albums, but as their albums became more numerous so did the songs I don't enjoy and skip. But I really enjoy a lot of their stuff even after those two. If you've never checked it out, definitely listen to Rivers Cuomo- Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo... It's an amazing album, he does everything on it and recorded it himself. Some of the tracks are very "Pinkertonish" if you've never heard the album. There's a couple songs I don't dig on there, only reason it didn't make my previous list.
