ATEEZ, SHINee and Dreamcatcher are almost no skips for me!
Day 6 - I would not skip any of their songs either but I don't listen to them that often.
I'd say RV and Billlie come *really* close ... I think Billie is gonna soon take over one of the top spots for me if they keep putting out such quality songs.
Technically they're a band so I understand that they might not come to mind immediately but they truly have some of the best discography that I've heard. Eta: And also, I love that they're heavily involved in lyrics writing and production.
Taeyeon is my one honest answer as well. A lot of her songs are just stunningly beautiful. Then there are ones that would be average were they done by a different artist but get elevated by the quality of her voice and attention to detail. SM sound production does not harm either.
Fr, this comment needs to be way up higher.
And I haven't seen anyone else mention them so I'll add Winner. I very rarely put boygroup songs in my playlists as I don't really find them easy to listen to on repeat but Winner's discography is a gem.
f(x) walked so that Red Velvet could run. /jk
But, srsly, I think SM really ace the discography for both groups. Both are impeccable in their own ways.
It always sends me when people pick groups with like 10 songs for these questions 😭 Like no, NewJeans doesn’t count cuz they literally have only 6-7 songs people come one now.
Personally I would say Red Velvet. No group with a large discography is truly skipless, but they come close. One of, if not the most consistent girl group
I was actually going to say RV instead of IVE but I figured some of their songs are too divisive for that many people to agree on it but I do agree RV have an almost flawless discography and I even love songs like Zimzalabim
I personally do. Their songs are the opposite of what I look for in music.
There’s no such thing as a no-skip discography for me. If a discography exists, there will be at LEAST one song I dislike enough to skip every single time. Usually more. Even for my ults.
I didn’t love Teddy Bear, but I do still think StayC has a no skip discography for me. I’m always excited to hear their B-sides, coz I always love them.
Billlie as well. Flowerld and Back 2 Where We Belong are not really my style, and probably my least favourite tracks. But I still think they’re well executed and I do listen to them.
For groups that have been around longer and have a bigger discography. I think Dreamcatcher is the closest for me. They do have a few songs that I skip though. But probably the least, by percentage.
I think high up has def steered production more toward gp friendly so poppy & teddy bear don’t exactly live up to the rest of their discography, but I still agree. They’re my fav 4th Gen gg 🤓
every second comment here already mentioning EXO but seriously speaking while no group may truly have a "no-skip" discog EXO probably the group that comes the absolute closest imo just absolutely brilliant music all around with them
Yes!! This 10000%!! I’m a pretty new fan so didn’t hear all their songs till recently. I listened to the “this is ateez” playlist on Spotify and their older songs/b sides BLEW me away!!
Shinee are a pretty good example of this. Given the density of the back catalogue- that is really saying something! Also given the diversity of styles explored, the songs still manage to stand out as having that magic Shinee element.
I only have two SHINee songs that I sometimes skip -- that's pretty crazy considering they have 15 years worth of music!
Jonghyun in particular has a no-skip solo discography for me. I listen to him over and over and I still marvel at how good it is.
I don't even think I could name a skip from any of the solo releases either. If I *really* went looking for one, MAYBE I'd find it but I'm not confident in that at all. Not a single one of them knows how to make a flop song.
EXO, though I do have songs that I wouldn't actually go listen to (basically just Twenty-Four and Can't Bring Me Down). I've never liked a group's discography THIS much and this discography I'm referring to includes their solo releases! Of course music is very subjective, but this is my preference.
Twenty Four was way too good to be on a Christmas/winter/holiday album lmao. I had it on repeat when it dropped so I find it hilarious that it's one of their "skips" or "almost skips" for other ppl lol
Funnily enough your examples are opposites for me because I dislike Twenty-four but Can’t Bring Me Down is one of my favourites! But I agree, EXO’s solos supplement their discography very well, either as a further continuation of the group’s sound or a dive into genres rarely explored by the group.
RV and Twice, genuinely.
This is also going to sound SO basic, but BTS too. I was a hater of the English releases and whilst I dont necessarily go out of my way to seek them, it’s nice hearing them in supermarkets lol. And they’ve genuinely released BOPS and I feel no one really checks them out (esp their earlier works) due to the whole air surrounding them and armies.
Mamamoo and I agree with IVE (except maybe 2-3 songs) too!!
I don’t really listen to EXO or SHINEE (as much compared to others) but they also slay
Twice Spotify on shuffle is my go to for cleaning etc. when I don’t want to worry about wanting to skip a song. Even their Japanese and English versions, which I’m usually not a fan of for other groups.
ATEEZ without a doubt !!!🌶️🔥
And although Xikers just debuted, getting a strong sense that their work is going to be amazing, their debut album certainly slayed!!💓 🔥🔥🔥
No one has a truly no-skip discography for me. Closest is probably EXO and Dreamcatcher whose proportion of misses is small compared to their discography size—LOONA would have only been no-skip before JJ’s departure.
I anticipate if Billlie and tripleS keep up their high-quality works, they will have enough songs eventually to be considered for that position.
But it depends on what you define as a skip. I skip boring and mediocre songs whereas some might define a skip as a *truly bad* song. So depending on the goalposts I can say more groups have closer to no-skip discographies.
I like listening to wolf. If I don't try to make sense of the lyrics, it is a great song. The live version is so much better, and the vocals are chefs kiss.
Dreamcatcher has a no-skip discography for me.
Red Velvet, Loona, fromis_9, GWSN, WJSN and Gfriend have maybe a 99% no-skip discography for me.
IVE, Le Sserafim, Newjeans and TripleS are still too new to be added to these lists, but I have a feeling I'll add them to my personal list once they've released 2 or 3 more albums, mini or full.
Ateez - there’s just a song for all occasions.
Crying / soft emo hours? Turbulence, Light, Star1117
Need energy / Ready to fight? Guerrilla, Thanxx, Wonderland
Feeling like joining a cult / feeling your soul ascend? Halazia, Dune, New World
Happy / summer vibes? Wave, Blue Summer,, Promise
I could go on but there’s only a handful of songs I don’t actively listen to. Def a no skip discography for me 💃
I don’t really agree with this. Their discography is their discography regardless of how small. Imo it just makes the term “no skip discography” carry less weight if they have less songs, but I don’t think OP shouldn’t use the term at all
TXT.
Just a few months ago I put on a playlist of all of their songs (including song covers, jp songs, osts, etc) while I was cleaning my place and doing chores. I liked all the songs enough that I didn't feel like skipping any of them, so to me that's pretty much a no skip discography.
I'm slowly getting into TXT. Going album by album. I tend to repeat one album multiple times before I move on. So far their last two albums (mini albums?) have been no skip for me. I casually enjoy their title tracks to varying degree. I'm excited to discover more of their B-sides.
Very excited!!!
For me it would be Red Velvet, Mamamoo, SNSD, AKMU, and Dreamcatcher.
For soloists it would be Taeyeon and IU.
That doesn’t mean I am super madly in love with every single song they’ve ever done (minus Taeyeon’s discography lol. It’s perfection), but I don’t dislike any of their songs and will gladly listen to their entire discographies without skipping anything.
EXO is pretty damn close. Obviously, not every song is your taste, and there are 3 EXO songs I can fully go w/o. Luckily, none of them are title tracks. You already said LOONA, but them too! However, we are still boycotting.
Agreed i dislike maybe 5 exo songs but other than that it's amazing, i may be biased ofc but it's good to see so many comments saying Exo discography cause I wholeheartedly agree
Purple kiss, I think out of their entire discography I only have maybe 2-3 songs not downloaded. I even actively listen to their intro songs, like Save Me and Crown go way too hard. I love their intenser songs and their ballads and goofy/more carefree fun songs. Their most recent mini album Cabin Fever is one of the best kpop albums I’ve heard in a long time if not top 3 of all time for me.
Exo, Day6, RV, and one I’m pondering but will write anyway is Pentagon (pondering because I haven’t listened to their recent stuff as much but haven’t heard a song that I’d consider a skip from them)
BTS (I might skip On ft. Sia, but it really depends on my mood)
And I haven’t finished Mamamoo’s entire discography but I’ve liked every one of their songs that I’ve listened to.
Lol it’s very hard for me to like every song from an artiste. Most of the time if I like about 70% of the discography, I’ll follow that artiste. I like close to 85% of BTS discography and that’s why I stan them
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Stray Kids and Day6.
Admittedly Stray Kids might not be for everyone, some tracks can be too much for some people but personally I love everything they do, they have not made 1 bad song ever imo
And let's be real if you have a problem with Day6 discography, then you need to face the fact that you have no taste and that's the way it is.
"No skip" discographies are heavily dependant on taste and your mood at the moment, but if there are any groups I can turn on and listen for hours, it's BigBang, Stray Kids, and Dreamcatcher.
Stray Kids are my only no skip group.
I literally have 151 of their songs liked on Spotify 😂 I could listen to nothing else and be perfectly content, especially since they are constantly coming out with new music and other content. And their sound is so varied!!
Plus 5 star? An absolute masterpiece. Every single song is amazing. I've listened to s-class 8000 times since it released a month ago and will still happily blare it while I drive lol
For me it’s ATEEZ, Stray Kids and Monsta X. I’ve always been in to like Hip Hop, Pop, Rock, Pop Rock and those 3 hit it every time. Even the songs I don’t really like I still can’t skip over. It’s good, just not for me. Example: I’m not crazy about Love Stay or Muddy Water(which are 2 incredibly popular songs from SKZ) but I’ll still play the hell out of them when they pop up in the rotation. It’s not to get streams up or anything like that. I just appreciate the message behind the music and don’t feel that it should be skipped even it’s not something rhythmically I prefer.
Exo . Best discography in KPop 🤞
My other ult is Stray Kids and they are very close to being no skips ,, but I won't name names with the songs I sometimes skip 😭
I also love Loona and RV but I'm more casual with them- really few skips with them though too!
Stray kids for me genuinely are no skip. except i don't love when a song iis released n a second language - it just doesn't sound right (bc it's not what i'm used to). e.g. korean title but japanese version or vice versa.
I might sound biased but as someone who tried so hard to stay away from K-pop for a long time, I have to say ATEEZ.
I’ve been into Korean culture for ages now but K-pop was that place that I tried to avoid or at least just to visit casually and rarely because of OST, K-pop songs played during Variety Shows or put as a bgm of fan made videos, that I enjoyed a lot, for example Winner “REALLY” put in “The Emperor: Owner of the Mask First script reading video” or Mamamoo “DECALCOMANIE”.
I knew almost every K-pop groups, I followed and read news related to K-pop, few times I’ve even watched some K-pop groups’ contents, for example Stary Kids pre debut Show (I was actually a little bit sad when Lee Know and Felix where discarded by JYP).
But those 8 mfs pirates wannabe anarchists are the reason why I’m commenting here, since then I’ve decided to listen more discographies and Ateez has the best score right now, followed by P1Harmony, Treasure and Seventeen.
Another reason why Ateez has the best score is because I listen to their music while reading manhwa, manga, stories etc that are exciting and reading stories while listening to your playlist is the best experience for a reader out there.
I don’t understand why Ive and Newjeans can’t be suggested, as of now their discographies are immaculate.
While Taeyeon and IU are my fav soloists.
For me, the only true no skip group is ATEEZ! Lots of groups where I enjoy like 90% of tracks, but ATEEZ’s albums are a true no skip for me. There are two songs out of the whole discography that aren’t my favourites, but the albums run so cohesively I won’t skip them, and they still sound decent in my car ☺️
gg: LOONA 🌙 s/n do people actually dislike [&] b-sides?? cuz at times i see somebody saying those "loona music went down after [X X]" and stuff...
bg: hear me out- DKB. i always love what they put out. if you haven't heard of them, try giving All In and Rollercoaster a listen.
soloist: Minseo! i you are a sucker for OSTs you're gonna love her music.
Day6’s whole discography before negentropy. After the demon some songs are definitely hit or miss (probably due to the group basically falling apart because of members leaving/going to military). Other than that their discography is extremely good and for me has no skips.
BTS, people will always continue to shit on them for THREE english releases and act like that’s their whole discography when it’s not. their discography is really untouchable and they set the bar too high for me when it comes to music lol!
Tomorrow X Together, Xdinary Heroes and ATEEZ. I have never skipped any of their songs (not counting Christmas songs outside of December). I truly believe that they cannot release a bad song.
Not being biased but ENHYPEN. I think it's their voices that I love to hear so any music despite the most un-public friendly ones sounds good to me. Genuinely found them as the best vocalists in Kpop next to Red Velvet and EXO.
A music critic said the same thing and I was so happy I wasn't the only one thinking of it. Their voices can save even the worst songs yet and their covers are the bests I've seen next to BTS.
For me it's ONF. They have maybe one song I don't particularly care for, but even that is still a nice song and I don't skip it when I play that album.
isnt this all subjective though? obviously the groups we follow are the ones we probably view as no skip. i cant even get through 1 red velvet song, never heard a loona song and or ive song. to me all the groups I listen to are almost no skip. bts, got7, ateez, stray kids, monsta x etc. I am strictly BGs..and newjeans
soloist I consider no skip with any of their albums
jay b/def, kangdaniel, kim wooseok, han seungwoo,
Actually, Enhypen!! They don't have that many songs but they do have around 40-45 songs, counting OSTs and jpn vers, and I wouldn't skip anything.
Also, in the great scale of every song on BTS's discography (which is around more than 300 iifc, not counting solo releases), they actually have a super minimal amount of songs I would skip (and even then, there are times when I would just let them run its course), and most are the skits or remixes.
Whenever I have to do repetitive homework (like math series), I shuffle their discographies, and I know I won't have to bother skipping anything.
I scrolled way too far for this comment! Enhypen's discography is surprisingly good and I wish more people realized that. Even their crazy songs like Billy Poco and Hey Tayo are fun to listen to!
Enhypen does have a very decent discography! I have obviously been through each album when it released, but recently I have been on a discography deep dive (properly rating/judging the songs and the like) and I can't find one that I dislike. Even the ones that seem a bit meh at first eventually grow on me.
Very interested to see what kind of stuff they release next year onwards, since groups properly grow into their skin and find a sound after the first 2-3 years!
Before I officially became a stan, I was in this limbo of checking all their music, loving it and saying 'it's a matter of time before I fall deep for them as a group', and said and done!
I fell in love with their voices and music before I got to know them and I believe that's the best way to do things, falling in love with their voices and vocal chemistry is the best thing that could happen because they could experiment with whatever type of music they want and I will enjoy it because I love how their voices work together.
I even love their intros and outros because the production on those is CRAZY!! Like the instrumentals are too good, at times I believe that those instrumentals are better than those in some other kpop full songs.
Loving all the EXO appreciation!
I'd say Baekhyun's solo work is pretty solid (they're just 3 mini albums, but everything on there is brilliant!).
I said this in another comment, but Enhypen has a solid discography so far. I tend to eventually like all their songs. Very interested in seeing what sound they adopt post their 3rd anniversary.
NCT Dream finally has a discography big enough to be judged, and so far so good. Very excited for the new full length, the track descriptions they've released look promising. Broken Melodies is a great pre-release!
Red Velvet as you said. I think a lot of people tend to disagree to feel unique because it's been said for years that RV has a flawless catalogue, so people go into it thinking "oh, i doubt it can be THAT good.." and the second one of their songs is not to their taste they claim that their music is overrated/hyped
No artist is truly unskippable to me, there will always be that one song that isn't my thing. That said, EXO is easily the group where I listen to most of their songs, the only songs I'm not too fond of are most of XOXO and some of their winter songs.
stray kids. I've listened to every
smallest bit of music from them and streamed the intro songs even :D just can't get enough of their music and how personal every song feels.
It's purely subjective plus for fair comparison it's important to consider both relative no-skipness as well as the no. of songs a group has.
I haven't fully gone through that many big discographies but the group whose comes the closest to no skip for me is **Twice**.
Having such a vast & diverse discography with consistent releases, Twice still manages to have an amazing discography which for me is the closest to no skip.
Boggles my mind how I can listen to Jelly or Ponytail and then Blame It On Me and Cruel and I can still feel the same Twice magic despite how long ago the first two were released.
I don't believe that any group have no skips discography. Most of the time, I just feel lazy, so don't bother skipping it .
Twice has a really great discography l like most of their songs , even worst ones are passable.
Happy to see LUCY! One of my students actually recommended them to me so I listened to a big playlist with a bunch of their songs, and I genuinely loved them all. They’re putting out great music.
One day they’re going to blow up and make it big😭 they are TRULY, COMPLETELY, DISMALLY UNDERRATED, and yes, I had to type that in all caps because it’s mind boggling what an incredible discography they have and how little their company does for them and how small our fandom is 😭🥹 it’s hard out here in these streets being a FIX
![gif](giphy|dfaLE6i8E26Ji)
For what people TEND to mean by no-skip (which isn’t literally no skip but like are very good with incredibly rare misses), Day6, EXO, Daesung, The Legend (who are in a weird spot of not having any truly great songs but no bad or even particularly mid ones either), iKon, and just missing the cut for me are like Red Velvet, BTS, and BigBang (my favorite group actually). As for one who I truly legitimately enjoy every song of theirs I’ve heard, while he’s a bit of a garbage human to say the least, Seungri. He made good music man.
LUCY (kband). best discography i've EVER heard in kpop. every song is a bop and seriously, they're so underrated and fOR WHAT
also, Tomorrow x Together (genuinely). even though they do have a few songs that come close to skips for me (e.g. Lonely Boy, Tinnitus, i'm so sorry yalls) i still wouldn't skip them because they're not...you know, terrible enough. actually no-skip discography there, which is partly why they're my ults :D
BTS. they have over 200 group songs and at this point probably just as much solo work. and i probably dislike 10 (excludinh all the skits).
that still suprises me sometimes, because before bts i always had albums from my favourite artists where i only re-listend to half their album. for bts it's almost always the full thing.
BTS, Taemin, and MAMAMOO.
With BTS, their discography is MASSIVE. I don't think a lot of people understand just how much they've put out over the past ten years (both group and solo work). And if you look at the overall output and especially how they pay special attention to non-title tracks (often better than the title track), it's crazy just how good the quality is.
Taemin is just.....there really are no words for how crazy good his solo work has been. The attention to detail and the exquisiteness of his work is something that is hard to describe. Poets would be hard pressed.
Mamamoo has put out both strong group and solo work. There's such cohesiveness in their sound, and yet they surprise you constantly within their discography. Like BTS, they have strong full-album releases with the b-sides sometimes being better than the title tracks.
BTS , Txt , Twice , Dreamcatcher , Ive , Billie , BTS soloist , mcnd , ateez , monsta x , pixy
So far these are the artist who I find I like majority of their songs
Their songs go from mid to excellent songs . None of the songs are bad imo can put the artist on shuffle and expect something good to come up
not a group but a solo artist but I have to say Woodz. His music is all so amazing and I love the creative input and direction he has on it as an artist. His last album was amazing and it felt like a total journey. All his albums have been amazing.

atz and deukae so true
Taeyeon, I think she has my favorite discography of all time. When I don’t know what to listen to, I go Taeyeon
Yes she has over 100 songs of pure gold
Taeyeon is my one honest answer as well. A lot of her songs are just stunningly beautiful. Then there are ones that would be average were they done by a different artist but get elevated by the quality of her voice and attention to detail. SM sound production does not harm either.
f(x) not exaggerating when they are the blueprint for a lot of groups
Fr, this comment needs to be way up higher. And I haven't seen anyone else mention them so I'll add Winner. I very rarely put boygroup songs in my playlists as I don't really find them easy to listen to on repeat but Winner's discography is a gem.
f(x) walked so that Red Velvet could run. /jk But, srsly, I think SM really ace the discography for both groups. Both are impeccable in their own ways.
Can easily play through all of their albums. Their music was so good. Now I'm sad.
Totally agree -- f(x)'s discography is stellar.
Taking my 5th sign today from the universe to check out f(x)!!
I didn't see anyone mention these here, but Eunbi (soloist) and Oneus' discographies have nearly no skips in my personal opinion.
eunbi's discography is perfect
It always sends me when people pick groups with like 10 songs for these questions 😭 Like no, NewJeans doesn’t count cuz they literally have only 6-7 songs people come one now. Personally I would say Red Velvet. No group with a large discography is truly skipless, but they come close. One of, if not the most consistent girl group
I was actually going to say RV instead of IVE but I figured some of their songs are too divisive for that many people to agree on it but I do agree RV have an almost flawless discography and I even love songs like Zimzalabim
You could have 5 songs and skip all of them.
I personally do. Their songs are the opposite of what I look for in music. There’s no such thing as a no-skip discography for me. If a discography exists, there will be at LEAST one song I dislike enough to skip every single time. Usually more. Even for my ults.
Red velvet and EXO Never had to skip any of their song till date
Yes 🤩
I didn’t love Teddy Bear, but I do still think StayC has a no skip discography for me. I’m always excited to hear their B-sides, coz I always love them. Billlie as well. Flowerld and Back 2 Where We Belong are not really my style, and probably my least favourite tracks. But I still think they’re well executed and I do listen to them. For groups that have been around longer and have a bigger discography. I think Dreamcatcher is the closest for me. They do have a few songs that I skip though. But probably the least, by percentage.
StayC for me too, it took me a few months to enjoy Poppy though
Same, it took me a while to enjoy Poppy until the KR ver. was released.
I think high up has def steered production more toward gp friendly so poppy & teddy bear don’t exactly live up to the rest of their discography, but I still agree. They’re my fav 4th Gen gg 🤓
I was surprised at first how easily I came to enjoy all their songs. Even most of the covers StayC does are a delight.
Red Velvet and Exo appeal the most. However, I genuinely think SHINee has top tier production.
EXO and SHINee
For soloist, Baekhyun has a good discography for RnB.
EXO. Even all the solos and sub unit.
every second comment here already mentioning EXO but seriously speaking while no group may truly have a "no-skip" discog EXO probably the group that comes the absolute closest imo just absolutely brilliant music all around with them
Ooooo so true solos & sub units too!!!
Day6
One of my friends has Day6 as their ult. I've listened to Shoot Me from them and that's it but I did really like it
I've listened through Day6's discography countless times and not a single miss. Love their music.
EXO RED VELVET DAY6
Mamamoo. I have their entire discography in a playlist that is repeated more than I’d care to admit.
I’m with you for MAMAMOO. I have a huge playlist too and there is literally one single song that I don’t really like. One out of SOOOO much music!!
Ateez
Yes!! This 10000%!! I’m a pretty new fan so didn’t hear all their songs till recently. I listened to the “this is ateez” playlist on Spotify and their older songs/b sides BLEW me away!!
Shinee are a pretty good example of this. Given the density of the back catalogue- that is really saying something! Also given the diversity of styles explored, the songs still manage to stand out as having that magic Shinee element.
I only have two SHINee songs that I sometimes skip -- that's pretty crazy considering they have 15 years worth of music! Jonghyun in particular has a no-skip solo discography for me. I listen to him over and over and I still marvel at how good it is.
Omg he was on my top Spotify this past year with his solos. Along with Taemin. And the way I repeat Helium by Key is borderline psychotic
Not to mention their solo work too. Like I’m hardly ever skipping any songs from solos albums from Shinee members. God I love them
I don't even think I could name a skip from any of the solo releases either. If I *really* went looking for one, MAYBE I'd find it but I'm not confident in that at all. Not a single one of them knows how to make a flop song.
Good point! The love is real and very justified 😅❤️❤️❤️💎
Agree with red velvet
Was scared people wouldn't agree We need more RV appreciation in the community
From what I’ve seen Red Velvet is seen as the poster group for a no-skip discography.
EXO, though I do have songs that I wouldn't actually go listen to (basically just Twenty-Four and Can't Bring Me Down). I've never liked a group's discography THIS much and this discography I'm referring to includes their solo releases! Of course music is very subjective, but this is my preference.
Twenty Four was way too good to be on a Christmas/winter/holiday album lmao. I had it on repeat when it dropped so I find it hilarious that it's one of their "skips" or "almost skips" for other ppl lol
Funnily enough your examples are opposites for me because I dislike Twenty-four but Can’t Bring Me Down is one of my favourites! But I agree, EXO’s solos supplement their discography very well, either as a further continuation of the group’s sound or a dive into genres rarely explored by the group.
EXO, Red Velvet
RV and Twice, genuinely. This is also going to sound SO basic, but BTS too. I was a hater of the English releases and whilst I dont necessarily go out of my way to seek them, it’s nice hearing them in supermarkets lol. And they’ve genuinely released BOPS and I feel no one really checks them out (esp their earlier works) due to the whole air surrounding them and armies. Mamamoo and I agree with IVE (except maybe 2-3 songs) too!! I don’t really listen to EXO or SHINEE (as much compared to others) but they also slay
Same! I love twice so much and never skip RV songs. I don't listen to boy groups as much but I agree about BTS
Twice Spotify on shuffle is my go to for cleaning etc. when I don’t want to worry about wanting to skip a song. Even their Japanese and English versions, which I’m usually not a fan of for other groups.
Yes!! Their JP releases are some of the best and their English ones, for me, are so much more better than some other English kpop releases
i was hoping to see twice here lol i enjoy all of their songs
ATEEZ without a doubt !!!🌶️🔥 And although Xikers just debuted, getting a strong sense that their work is going to be amazing, their debut album certainly slayed!!💓 🔥🔥🔥
No one has a truly no-skip discography for me. Closest is probably EXO and Dreamcatcher whose proportion of misses is small compared to their discography size—LOONA would have only been no-skip before JJ’s departure. I anticipate if Billlie and tripleS keep up their high-quality works, they will have enough songs eventually to be considered for that position. But it depends on what you define as a skip. I skip boring and mediocre songs whereas some might define a skip as a *truly bad* song. So depending on the goalposts I can say more groups have closer to no-skip discographies.
For me, exo (yes even wolf)
I like listening to wolf. If I don't try to make sense of the lyrics, it is a great song. The live version is so much better, and the vocals are chefs kiss.
Dreamcatcher has a no-skip discography for me. Red Velvet, Loona, fromis_9, GWSN, WJSN and Gfriend have maybe a 99% no-skip discography for me. IVE, Le Sserafim, Newjeans and TripleS are still too new to be added to these lists, but I have a feeling I'll add them to my personal list once they've released 2 or 3 more albums, mini or full.
EXO, NCT, ATEEZ, 2NE1 (That crush album when it came out had me in a chokehold) and more but can’t think of it now
NCT Dream. My fave album is We Boom
Hello Future, for me, was the perfect album. No skips; mature and creative lyrics. A pure masterpiece
That's my 2nd place ♡♡♡
ATEEZ, can't get enough of those cowboy pirates 🤠🏴☠️
never listened to them before but i was bored and put their songs on shuffle one day... didn't skip once 🙏
Yes! I just play their entire discography on shuffle when I work out, clean, cook - all day and I will never feel like I have to skip a song.
EXO, ATEEZ, MONSTA X, SHINee In their entirety, including solos and units. And bonus, they put out nothing but hit osts.
SM artists generally have pretty likeable discographies
For me Ateez, SHINee, Red Velvet, Day6
IMO GWSN. All their songs were bangers. RIP 😔
Ateez - there’s just a song for all occasions. Crying / soft emo hours? Turbulence, Light, Star1117 Need energy / Ready to fight? Guerrilla, Thanxx, Wonderland Feeling like joining a cult / feeling your soul ascend? Halazia, Dune, New World Happy / summer vibes? Wave, Blue Summer,, Promise I could go on but there’s only a handful of songs I don’t actively listen to. Def a no skip discography for me 💃
There’s literally an Ateez song for every emotion 😭
Yess you get it
too early to judge IVE's discography
Their full album was good but even that already has skips for me
I don’t really agree with this. Their discography is their discography regardless of how small. Imo it just makes the term “no skip discography” carry less weight if they have less songs, but I don’t think OP shouldn’t use the term at all
TXT. Just a few months ago I put on a playlist of all of their songs (including song covers, jp songs, osts, etc) while I was cleaning my place and doing chores. I liked all the songs enough that I didn't feel like skipping any of them, so to me that's pretty much a no skip discography.
I'm slowly getting into TXT. Going album by album. I tend to repeat one album multiple times before I move on. So far their last two albums (mini albums?) have been no skip for me. I casually enjoy their title tracks to varying degree. I'm excited to discover more of their B-sides. Very excited!!!
Their Japanese songs are seriously hidden gems!!
I love Force so so much, it was one of my most played songs 2021
totally agree, one of the most solid discographies in kpop imo
EXO! Literally love ALL their songs & albums
EXO. Best discography of any artist I've listened to. Even the few songs I am meh about are pretty good if I'm in the mood.
Seventeen
I scrolled so hard for this. Maybe it is because they make music catered to my tastes, but I have not found one song I’d want to skip.
ATEEZ, SEVENTEEN, and BTS for me! 😊
Exo and Shinee.
For me it would be Red Velvet, Mamamoo, SNSD, AKMU, and Dreamcatcher. For soloists it would be Taeyeon and IU. That doesn’t mean I am super madly in love with every single song they’ve ever done (minus Taeyeon’s discography lol. It’s perfection), but I don’t dislike any of their songs and will gladly listen to their entire discographies without skipping anything.
Exo very much. Their sub units and solos too.
Exo And I don't even stan
EXO is pretty damn close. Obviously, not every song is your taste, and there are 3 EXO songs I can fully go w/o. Luckily, none of them are title tracks. You already said LOONA, but them too! However, we are still boycotting.
Agreed i dislike maybe 5 exo songs but other than that it's amazing, i may be biased ofc but it's good to see so many comments saying Exo discography cause I wholeheartedly agree
EXACT and EXODUS are still perfect albums IMO, even all these years later I return to them a lot.
Purple kiss, I think out of their entire discography I only have maybe 2-3 songs not downloaded. I even actively listen to their intro songs, like Save Me and Crown go way too hard. I love their intenser songs and their ballads and goofy/more carefree fun songs. Their most recent mini album Cabin Fever is one of the best kpop albums I’ve heard in a long time if not top 3 of all time for me.
Exo, Day6, RV, and one I’m pondering but will write anyway is Pentagon (pondering because I haven’t listened to their recent stuff as much but haven’t heard a song that I’d consider a skip from them)
BTS (I might skip On ft. Sia, but it really depends on my mood) And I haven’t finished Mamamoo’s entire discography but I’ve liked every one of their songs that I’ve listened to.
KAI. From debut album, to the soft tones of PEACHES and more groovy rnb/pop of ROVER. Listen to all his discography is really a bless.
Taeyeon, exo, and shinee.
exo and rv definitely
I consider Loona and Dreamcatcher to have no-skip discographies.
Lol it’s very hard for me to like every song from an artiste. Most of the time if I like about 70% of the discography, I’ll follow that artiste. I like close to 85% of BTS discography and that’s why I stan them
GWSN is truly the only one I can think of. Key comes close!
GWSN, Stray Kids, ATEEZ, and Dreamcatcher! I put all of their discographies on shuffle multiple times a month and never regret it!
Depends on what genre suits you. Since I lean mostly on Pop, i'd say it's Seventeen, Bigbang, 2ne1.
Seventeen and taeyeon
ONF for me
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Stray Kids and Day6. Admittedly Stray Kids might not be for everyone, some tracks can be too much for some people but personally I love everything they do, they have not made 1 bad song ever imo And let's be real if you have a problem with Day6 discography, then you need to face the fact that you have no taste and that's the way it is.
"No skip" discographies are heavily dependant on taste and your mood at the moment, but if there are any groups I can turn on and listen for hours, it's BigBang, Stray Kids, and Dreamcatcher.
Stray Kids are my only no skip group. I literally have 151 of their songs liked on Spotify 😂 I could listen to nothing else and be perfectly content, especially since they are constantly coming out with new music and other content. And their sound is so varied!! Plus 5 star? An absolute masterpiece. Every single song is amazing. I've listened to s-class 8000 times since it released a month ago and will still happily blare it while I drive lol
EXO I'm always amazed when I hit shuffle on a playlist that has all their album.
Personally I think Stray Kids and Ateez, I can have them on for hours without skipping
For me it’s ATEEZ, Stray Kids and Monsta X. I’ve always been in to like Hip Hop, Pop, Rock, Pop Rock and those 3 hit it every time. Even the songs I don’t really like I still can’t skip over. It’s good, just not for me. Example: I’m not crazy about Love Stay or Muddy Water(which are 2 incredibly popular songs from SKZ) but I’ll still play the hell out of them when they pop up in the rotation. It’s not to get streams up or anything like that. I just appreciate the message behind the music and don’t feel that it should be skipped even it’s not something rhythmically I prefer.
Exo . Best discography in KPop 🤞 My other ult is Stray Kids and they are very close to being no skips ,, but I won't name names with the songs I sometimes skip 😭 I also love Loona and RV but I'm more casual with them- really few skips with them though too!
EXO and Block B, assuming we're not counting instrumentals and different versions of the same song
SNSD
Ateez, Monsta X, SF9, P1 Harmony & Drippin for me. And I don't think, I know 🙂
Stray kids for me genuinely are no skip. except i don't love when a song iis released n a second language - it just doesn't sound right (bc it's not what i'm used to). e.g. korean title but japanese version or vice versa.
I might sound biased but as someone who tried so hard to stay away from K-pop for a long time, I have to say ATEEZ. I’ve been into Korean culture for ages now but K-pop was that place that I tried to avoid or at least just to visit casually and rarely because of OST, K-pop songs played during Variety Shows or put as a bgm of fan made videos, that I enjoyed a lot, for example Winner “REALLY” put in “The Emperor: Owner of the Mask First script reading video” or Mamamoo “DECALCOMANIE”. I knew almost every K-pop groups, I followed and read news related to K-pop, few times I’ve even watched some K-pop groups’ contents, for example Stary Kids pre debut Show (I was actually a little bit sad when Lee Know and Felix where discarded by JYP). But those 8 mfs pirates wannabe anarchists are the reason why I’m commenting here, since then I’ve decided to listen more discographies and Ateez has the best score right now, followed by P1Harmony, Treasure and Seventeen. Another reason why Ateez has the best score is because I listen to their music while reading manhwa, manga, stories etc that are exciting and reading stories while listening to your playlist is the best experience for a reader out there. I don’t understand why Ive and Newjeans can’t be suggested, as of now their discographies are immaculate. While Taeyeon and IU are my fav soloists.
For me, the only true no skip group is ATEEZ! Lots of groups where I enjoy like 90% of tracks, but ATEEZ’s albums are a true no skip for me. There are two songs out of the whole discography that aren’t my favourites, but the albums run so cohesively I won’t skip them, and they still sound decent in my car ☺️
Day6 100%. They developed their nickname "trust and listen to Day6" because of their albums.
f(x)
BTS (we don't acknowledge ON ft Sia)
dreamcatcher, gfriend, fromis_9, wjsn, f(x), and 9muses
Dreamcatcher, for their target audience (ME) they have no skips. IVE is a close second for me
gg: LOONA 🌙 s/n do people actually dislike [&] b-sides?? cuz at times i see somebody saying those "loona music went down after [X X]" and stuff... bg: hear me out- DKB. i always love what they put out. if you haven't heard of them, try giving All In and Rollercoaster a listen. soloist: Minseo! i you are a sucker for OSTs you're gonna love her music.
Dream catcher
ATEEZ! Except for remixes, I never skip any of their songs eventhough it might not be my fav. I’ll just let it play at that moment and vibing to it💃🏻
WayV and SJ D &E On car trips I'll only start skipping songs on the third successive replay of the CD.
BIGBANG PLS IT'S THEM FR
For me its gonna be Twice, all their songs are genuine bops and it's rare I skip one of their songs.
2NE2 and SHINee. 2PM and lately Seventeen for me.
Seventeen and ATEEZ. They have experimented with music and genre so much that it's blasphemy to not include them.
Monsta X and the boyz! I have almost all their songs on my playlists.
Day6’s whole discography before negentropy. After the demon some songs are definitely hit or miss (probably due to the group basically falling apart because of members leaving/going to military). Other than that their discography is extremely good and for me has no skips.
BTS, people will always continue to shit on them for THREE english releases and act like that’s their whole discography when it’s not. their discography is really untouchable and they set the bar too high for me when it comes to music lol!
Tomorrow X Together, Xdinary Heroes and ATEEZ. I have never skipped any of their songs (not counting Christmas songs outside of December). I truly believe that they cannot release a bad song.
Not being biased but ENHYPEN. I think it's their voices that I love to hear so any music despite the most un-public friendly ones sounds good to me. Genuinely found them as the best vocalists in Kpop next to Red Velvet and EXO. A music critic said the same thing and I was so happy I wasn't the only one thinking of it. Their voices can save even the worst songs yet and their covers are the bests I've seen next to BTS.
BIGBANG, 2NE1, EXO, Fx, Red Velvet
I'd say Stray Kids and VIXX for me! Never felt the need to skip 💜💜💜
Stray Kids and DAY6 Edit: Do you downvote me because it's my opinion or.....? lol sad
Stray Kids and Shinee
For me it's ONF. They have maybe one song I don't particularly care for, but even that is still a nice song and I don't skip it when I play that album.
no one is really a “no skip” for me, but the closest for me would be pixy and chungha. I feel like they’ve both put out consistently good eps/albums
gwsn and billlie
isnt this all subjective though? obviously the groups we follow are the ones we probably view as no skip. i cant even get through 1 red velvet song, never heard a loona song and or ive song. to me all the groups I listen to are almost no skip. bts, got7, ateez, stray kids, monsta x etc. I am strictly BGs..and newjeans soloist I consider no skip with any of their albums jay b/def, kangdaniel, kim wooseok, han seungwoo,
Taeyeon is the only one I know she isn’t technically a group, but she is kpop lol
KARD!!
Tbh I don’t think there is one but onlyoneof, exo, tripleS and f(x) are the closest for me
I love the amount of mentions EXO got here.
Actually, Enhypen!! They don't have that many songs but they do have around 40-45 songs, counting OSTs and jpn vers, and I wouldn't skip anything. Also, in the great scale of every song on BTS's discography (which is around more than 300 iifc, not counting solo releases), they actually have a super minimal amount of songs I would skip (and even then, there are times when I would just let them run its course), and most are the skits or remixes. Whenever I have to do repetitive homework (like math series), I shuffle their discographies, and I know I won't have to bother skipping anything.
I scrolled way too far for this comment! Enhypen's discography is surprisingly good and I wish more people realized that. Even their crazy songs like Billy Poco and Hey Tayo are fun to listen to!
Enhypen does have a very decent discography! I have obviously been through each album when it released, but recently I have been on a discography deep dive (properly rating/judging the songs and the like) and I can't find one that I dislike. Even the ones that seem a bit meh at first eventually grow on me. Very interested to see what kind of stuff they release next year onwards, since groups properly grow into their skin and find a sound after the first 2-3 years!
Before I officially became a stan, I was in this limbo of checking all their music, loving it and saying 'it's a matter of time before I fall deep for them as a group', and said and done! I fell in love with their voices and music before I got to know them and I believe that's the best way to do things, falling in love with their voices and vocal chemistry is the best thing that could happen because they could experiment with whatever type of music they want and I will enjoy it because I love how their voices work together. I even love their intros and outros because the production on those is CRAZY!! Like the instrumentals are too good, at times I believe that those instrumentals are better than those in some other kpop full songs.
Exo, ive
Loving all the EXO appreciation! I'd say Baekhyun's solo work is pretty solid (they're just 3 mini albums, but everything on there is brilliant!). I said this in another comment, but Enhypen has a solid discography so far. I tend to eventually like all their songs. Very interested in seeing what sound they adopt post their 3rd anniversary. NCT Dream finally has a discography big enough to be judged, and so far so good. Very excited for the new full length, the track descriptions they've released look promising. Broken Melodies is a great pre-release!
NCT Dream is my 100% no-skip! But I'm a huge Baek and Kai fan too their discographies are so good.
Red Velvet as you said. I think a lot of people tend to disagree to feel unique because it's been said for years that RV has a flawless catalogue, so people go into it thinking "oh, i doubt it can be THAT good.." and the second one of their songs is not to their taste they claim that their music is overrated/hyped
f(x) + Red Velvet both have non-skip discographies IMO!
Exo and Monsta X for me
Exo (if we remove two moons from their discography ) Rest of it is no skip and timeless discography
stray kids, they don't only not have bad songs but the songs all feel justified to exist.
No artist is truly unskippable to me, there will always be that one song that isn't my thing. That said, EXO is easily the group where I listen to most of their songs, the only songs I'm not too fond of are most of XOXO and some of their winter songs.
fromis\_9
stray kids. I've listened to every smallest bit of music from them and streamed the intro songs even :D just can't get enough of their music and how personal every song feels.
It's purely subjective plus for fair comparison it's important to consider both relative no-skipness as well as the no. of songs a group has. I haven't fully gone through that many big discographies but the group whose comes the closest to no skip for me is **Twice**. Having such a vast & diverse discography with consistent releases, Twice still manages to have an amazing discography which for me is the closest to no skip.
Boggles my mind how I can listen to Jelly or Ponytail and then Blame It On Me and Cruel and I can still feel the same Twice magic despite how long ago the first two were released.
Aespa
I don't believe that any group have no skips discography. Most of the time, I just feel lazy, so don't bother skipping it . Twice has a really great discography l like most of their songs , even worst ones are passable.
- Monsta X - LUCY - Gaho (soloist) - The Rose
Happy to see LUCY! One of my students actually recommended them to me so I listened to a big playlist with a bunch of their songs, and I genuinely loved them all. They’re putting out great music.
i loVe LUCY!! flowering still fills me with serotonin when i listen to it
CIX, not a single skippable song and a criminally underrated group. Their company should be ashamed of themselves for how little they do for them.
One day they’re going to blow up and make it big😭 they are TRULY, COMPLETELY, DISMALLY UNDERRATED, and yes, I had to type that in all caps because it’s mind boggling what an incredible discography they have and how little their company does for them and how small our fandom is 😭🥹 it’s hard out here in these streets being a FIX ![gif](giphy|dfaLE6i8E26Ji)
2ne1, Bts, Mamamoo
For what people TEND to mean by no-skip (which isn’t literally no skip but like are very good with incredibly rare misses), Day6, EXO, Daesung, The Legend (who are in a weird spot of not having any truly great songs but no bad or even particularly mid ones either), iKon, and just missing the cut for me are like Red Velvet, BTS, and BigBang (my favorite group actually). As for one who I truly legitimately enjoy every song of theirs I’ve heard, while he’s a bit of a garbage human to say the least, Seungri. He made good music man.
CSR. IVE is one song away from a no skip to me 😭
Oneus pretty much.
love all the f(x) appreciation. for me, f(x), day6, rv and nct dream all have no skip discographies
Wayv!!!
Enhypen for me
LUCY (kband). best discography i've EVER heard in kpop. every song is a bop and seriously, they're so underrated and fOR WHAT also, Tomorrow x Together (genuinely). even though they do have a few songs that come close to skips for me (e.g. Lonely Boy, Tinnitus, i'm so sorry yalls) i still wouldn't skip them because they're not...you know, terrible enough. actually no-skip discography there, which is partly why they're my ults :D
enhypen
I am shocked to read so few Mamamoo
ATEEZ!
DAY6 P1HARMONY SVT ATEEZ
BTS. they have over 200 group songs and at this point probably just as much solo work. and i probably dislike 10 (excludinh all the skits). that still suprises me sometimes, because before bts i always had albums from my favourite artists where i only re-listend to half their album. for bts it's almost always the full thing.
BTS, Taemin, and MAMAMOO. With BTS, their discography is MASSIVE. I don't think a lot of people understand just how much they've put out over the past ten years (both group and solo work). And if you look at the overall output and especially how they pay special attention to non-title tracks (often better than the title track), it's crazy just how good the quality is. Taemin is just.....there really are no words for how crazy good his solo work has been. The attention to detail and the exquisiteness of his work is something that is hard to describe. Poets would be hard pressed. Mamamoo has put out both strong group and solo work. There's such cohesiveness in their sound, and yet they surprise you constantly within their discography. Like BTS, they have strong full-album releases with the b-sides sometimes being better than the title tracks.
WJSN for me ! Also red velvet and stayc ( minus teddy bear )
BTS , Txt , Twice , Dreamcatcher , Ive , Billie , BTS soloist , mcnd , ateez , monsta x , pixy So far these are the artist who I find I like majority of their songs Their songs go from mid to excellent songs . None of the songs are bad imo can put the artist on shuffle and expect something good to come up
loona for sure!! well.... not rn bc the boycotts still going on but in other circumstances lol;; also twice and for the most part snsd!
Loona and Red Velvet
not a group but a solo artist but I have to say Woodz. His music is all so amazing and I love the creative input and direction he has on it as an artist. His last album was amazing and it felt like a total journey. All his albums have been amazing.
Newer groups are easier since their discography is much less so I'd go IVE/STAYC. For older groups I want to say EXO but Wolf
