I'm going to be kicked for this but for me a lot of 80s Bowie stuff falls into this category. So much that is good, but also a lot that is really unremarkable and generic 80s. I'm a Bowie fan and I wish I could get more into some of said unremarkable stuff... but I can't.

Walk Among Us by the Misfits is another I'd put in this category. I love this album, but really it's just "I Turned into a Martian", "All Hell Breaks Loose", "Hatebreeders", "Night of the Living Dead", "Skulls" and "Astro Zombies" that I love. The rest of the album is a little meh to me, but those songs are so god damn great that it's still a beloved album for me.

Walk Among Us is all good to me. Some songs are more memorable than others but most of them fit well in context. Astro Zombies is probably the only one I dislike.
