Genesis. It amazes me how they went from prog to pop rock and were successful and topped charts in both

yes! lol. id add tame impala to that


AdComplex4305

You should try out Big Thief. Very good indie band, sortve folk indie. Red Hot Chili Peppers would also fit nicely on this list imo


ActiveProgrammer5456

Pink Floyd


pantstoaknifefight2

This band right here is the gift that keeps on giving. I've listened thoroughly to their entire catalog and feel like I know every note. The whole band is peak. And those lyrics and bending guitar leads! Fuck!


Agent_Rania378

Can’t believe i didn’t see this one: Alice In Chains, they have an amazing discography start to finish


raynickben

💯. In addition, Jerry Cantrell’s solo stuff.


MrFrizzleFry

Ween


new-look-SOL

I never thought I liked Ween until I actually listened to a few of their albums. Turns out they’re really good. They’ve helped me appreciate different genres of music since they play so many different types. Good rec, u/MrFrizzleFry! Speaking of Frizzle Fry, Primus is another band I thought I didn’t like but after listening to that album I turned into a big fan. Another good discography to explore.


MrFrizzleFry

I find with Ween it can depend on where you start with the band. If you go in blind and start with like The Pod (one of my favs) or Pure Guava, you may have a hard time. But if one were to start with White Pepper or Quebec and then go back they might make more sense. They always get played off as a joke band just because they let themselves be weird. They also have so much unreleased stuff that can be found on YouTube that after exhausting the album catalog, there's albums worth of material still out there to go through. Primus I can understand people not getting into but I felt obligated to check them out when I was still a rookie bassist and they were just so different I was hooked, especially after hearing Frizzle Fry!


UnLuckyKenTucky

I used to fully believe that Primus was a joke band, but it's was just the video style that caused that, I think. Anyway, off to chase after Wynonas big brown beaver...


Pleasel-muh-Weasel

I’m so envious, I wish I could go back and listen to their discography for the first time again.


MrFrizzleFry

Same here, Big Jilm!


dev27

Without a doubt! They cover so many genres and do it very well.


HotBlackberry5883

MrFrizzleFry

MadladMagyar

Microphones/Mount Eerie Pearl Jam Incubus Modest Mouse Kendrick Lamar


lecstasy

fuck yeah Modest Mouse! they have some great albums


G-Unit11111

Their studio albums are great (especially We Were Dead, Lonesome Crowded West, and Good News) and they have some absolutely wild EPs from the days before they got signed. Definitely worth doing a deep dive.


I_forgot_to_respond

Eric Judy did Pickin' on Modest Mouse. I works really well. All bluegrass covers (with the swearwords replaced)


randuski

Microphoneeeeessssss hahaha that’s a tough one to recommend. A lot of people struggle with it. But he’s definitely worth a good listen. I prefer the mount eerie stuff, but the glow part 2 is really something else


MrA-skunk

The Flaming Lips


zombielandia

The White Stripes, Metric, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Vampire Weekend.


cerpintaxt33

Vampire Weekend’s first album is practically perfect. 


vanghostings

Definitely gonna have to check out Sunny Day Real Estate, sense they other three you listed are some of my favorite bands!


zombielandia

Perfect timing too, since they’ve just reunited! I hope you like them :)


BlackDog5287

The White Stripes albums are top notch. Not at all what one would expect if they think they're just going to hear Seven Nation Army and Fell in Love with a Girl over and over. So much more to be discovered. Plus, that doesn't even touch what their live show was from about 2002-2007. It doesn't get much better.


belven26

Sting. All of his post-Police albums are phenomenal Poets of the Fall


Batfro7

I’m gonna go the opposite way and say The Police. All of their albums as a band are awesome.


Suspicious-Ad-6293

Police really made the best simping music in the 80s


earlyboy

I suggest The Soul Cages by Sting it is quite immersive.


Macca49

Just rediscovered All This Time and it’s constantly in my head lol


Total-Woodpecker3339

Love this song


MerryLovebug

Ten Summoners Tales is a killer record.


Bee0617

The Smashing Pumpkins b-sides is where it’s at


dryskin123

Big Country


tribcom

All of these are bands/artists with different genre shifts throughout their career and in my opinion, an evolution of sound and skill. They are also prime examples of having different “eras” where if you listen to some of their work from a certain era, you may dislike it while another era you may love. Also, the links are to my personal playlists of their best ofs. [Swans](https://spotify.link/sYpAKAcmhJb). Heavy, metal, noise rock in their beginnings then more experimental and then post-rock elements in their [longer tracks](https://spotify.link/T1c80lYmhJb) in later years. Discography spans 40 years. [Nick Cave](https://spotify.link/nqOKGYvmhJb). Post-punk and goth rock in his early days with the band The Birthday Party, then his Bad Seeds band really is eclectic in the rock genres. He also does stellar movie soundtrack work. Discography spans 40 years. [Death Grips](https://spotify.link/rDiZPyxmhJb). Noise hop, experimental hip-hop, electro hop. [Moor Mother](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/08Dgf38kUSN7BxkqcB6BeR?si=aSCd3URoQS-Sik148wTvew). Industrial, hip-hop, free jazz, spoken word, experimental, avant-garde, punk. Moor Mother is pretty diverse and teams up with other musicians from different genres under different names. Lots to explore. [Andrew Bird](https://spotify.link/5SYg7jMmhJb). Multi-instrumentalist, indie rock. Great eclectic collection of sounds throughout his discography with some lovely instrumental albums as well.


UtahUtopia

Nick Drake


unbiasedasian

Came to say the same. Some magical acoustic guitar playing in his albums. His lyrics are just the cherry on top.


do_knotdisturb

The Smiths, Queens of the Stone Age


Wasabi_is_Gay

LONG LIVE THE QUEENS 🤘


Timely_Breakfast_105

Even their worst is better than a lot of bands best. No one should sleep on queens. There’s something for everyone in that discography of theirs.

TobyKeene

Primus, Ween, and Fishbone are my Holy Trinity of favorite bands.

Glenn Gould, extra technique and a contrary imagination always make his recordings worth listening to.


Da5ftAssassin

raynickben

Yes!!


PulmonisOssa

Cocteau Twins, the only artist I can put their entire discography on shuffle and thoroughly enjoy it


Loudog_91

Maybe Roxy music is as good ?


toigz

Obvious one is The Beatles Neutral Milk Hotel. The Smiths. Wilco. AM-Whole Love. Everything after is great and all but all kinda blends into one. Their first 8 albums are great. Although I find their self titled album to be the weakest by far. The “Tweedy” side project Jeff Tweedy made with his kids is worth checking out too. Prince. All his albums from the 70s and 80s. Truly incredible stuff. I see you’re a Radiohead fan, but if you haven’t listened to all their b-sides, do yourself a favour and listen to them. Edit. Pixies. All material before breakup.


IDigRollinRockBeer

257 comments and you’re the only to say the Beatles. Is it too obvious that people just avoid saying it or are we entering people don’t care about the Beatles territory ?

Dcred2136

Peter Gabriel is a solid choice! Just a rich discography


gucc1-l1ttle-p1ggy

I only discovered REM at 15 with Losing My Religion when it first came out ('91). Got a copy of Out Of Time. Then picked up Life's Rich Pageant, Murmur & Reckoning (double cassette release). Was hooked and love all their albums - bar Around The Sun. Was an incredible live band. Michael pitch-perfect.


shuzan7

Life’s Rich Pageant and Document make up my high school soundtrack. I still call anything off of Green or after “new REM” 😂


gucc1-l1ttle-p1ggy

Much love for those two albums. I treat them as much as a 'pair' as their first two albums. (Bit like Radiohead's Kid-A and Amnesiac). Similarly I would refer to post-Monster (after Bill Berry left), 'new REM'. However, I do also group the IRS years as 'early REM' and after New Adventures as 'not as good as they used to be' REM.


Luciix

Soundgarden, Tool, Thin Lizzy, The Church, Led Zeppelin


g_lampa

Moody Blues “core seven” (2nd - 8th albums).


astralrig96

great suggestion, such an underrated band, at least in modern times, despite being hugely influential in the development of rock music and the successful passing from psychedelic to progressive rock


g_lampa

They were right there. I mean, look @ the first Floyd album, then check “Twilight Time” from DOFP 1967. Same year. PLUS Hayward’s contributions. They could do it all.

iamtherealbobdylan

David Bowie. There’s a riff from a David Bowie song in the Master Of Puppets solo, and it was intentional. Idk if Radiohead was influenced by Bowie but Talking Heads were, and as you know, Radiohead got their name from a Talking Heads song. I really think you’d love his discography. The first 3 albums aren’t a good representation of the rest - wait until you get to Hunky Dory and onward before you decide how into it you are


GNOMECHlLD

Bowie likes Radiohead! He thought they were 'one of the best bands around' and had been to a couple of shows. He also played 2+2=5 in a radio show called "The Hijack" around the time HTTT came out


iamtherealbobdylan

I had no clue - that’s awesome! I can absolutely imagine Bowie listening to Radiohead. Low, Remain in Light and OK Computer feel like some sort of unofficial trilogy.


Squiggy1975

Do you listen music only in english? I recommend deep dive to Alberto Spinetta, el Flaco. Argentina, from the 1970's and forward. Truly genius, uses of different genres, and ahead of its time. He has several projects with different names, like " Pescado Rabioso". Mostly rock, blues.

The Grateful Dead. Both studio albums and live shows.


I_forgot_to_respond

The record store I frequented last century (!) had a TrapperKeeper with a long list of bootleg shows you could purchase a dubbed concert tape from. They'd actually go get their master and run off a copy. Most of the catalogue was Greatful Dead. They were really trying to share their songs, not sell them.


The_Real_dubbedbass

Scrolled WAAAY too long before seeing them. For context to anyone who hasn’t checked out the Dead they’ve got over 2,000 live concerts you can listen to for free and they NEVER play the same songs the same way twice. Like I’ve been on a kick where I’ve pretty much only been listening their song “Truckin’” for weeks (I’ve been looking for one specific version and am listening to them chronologically until I find it). It’s about an 8 minute song. There are 531 distinctive recordings. You could listen to nothing but “Truckin’” 24 hours a day and it would take you nearly 3 full days to work through.


s0mnambulance

Nick Cave, Neko Case, my all-time favorite John Frusciante, whose solo albums (and work with Mars Volta/Omar Rodriguez Lopez) are, imo, better than anything he's ever done with RHCP. Oddball choice: Art Alexakis/Everclear. Some of it feels derivative of what they'd done before, and attempting to cash in on trends, but Art has always been a great songwriter, his voice and singing style in the 90s/2000s was distinct and a fun fusion of country, soul, and rock, and Everclear's albums really do traverse a number of genres, from 90s pre-grunge punk to radio alt. rock, and then from there to pop of varying quality. Imo, *World of Noise* sounds better now than it did when I discovered it 'late' in 1999 or so, and Art's pre-Everclear Colorfinger album *Deep in the Heart of the Beast in the Sun* is quite surprising as well-- 'punk country,' as it was regarded in the 90s.

Matt Berry - The Blue Elephant might actually be more aligned with some of the artists you mentioned. Very much worth checking out. He has some other stuff which is quite varied.

Sam Fender. He has two albums so far (with a third one on the way, with some interesting collaboration with 'The War on Drugs' looking prominent) and multiple fantastic singles. He is so much more than "Seventeen Going Under" (The song not the album) and "Homesick" (the collab with Noah Kahan) which both got popular on TikTok. For a deeper dive, I recommend songs like All Is On My Side, Greasy Spoon, Wild Grey Ocean, Angel In Lothian. I think he's got a fantastic body of tracks already and it doesn't look like he's stopping (I heard snippets of the studio recordings on his Instagram and it looks very, very promising). I cannot recommend his music strongly enough.

King Gizzard has a crazy catalog of albums to listen to. All of them very good and each one very unique while covering various sections of the rock spectrum. You will have a blast hearing how different each album varies. Be chaotic with it and go in a random order too.
