I'm listening to Riot! (2nd album) cause I guess that was their breakthrough? And yeah this is absolutely a pop band. Not a knock cause I love pop, but Paramore are pop to the bone. They don't do so good with the rock but when they drop it and go full pop they can make something credible.

He thinks Iggy Pop was a pop artist because ‘pop’ is in the name lmao

He called David Bowie “corny pop”. That’s how you get your thread to total ****storm levels in my book

He's not corny pop, he's croony pop.

I'm picturing you as a stereotypical anime schoolboy saying this, just to let you know.

Their sound changed pretty dramatically in the 70’s and that’s the Fleetwood Mac everyone thinks of.
Eh, not to discount the UK but on the globe it's a very small region. Being successful in one isolated area isn't synonymous with being known. They sold less than 150,000 copies of their debut album from then to now in the US . Only most hardcore fans are aware of their blues era (I think it's their best era but only worked in their favor because pop and rock was in its infancy).

No one sounded like Fleetwood Mac or even The Beatles at that point. FM didn't reach WW exposure until Stevie Nicks joined and they became huge by the mid-70's. What popular bands/singers today could switch styles like that and get away with it? The genres and musical landscape are too realized. They would be destroyed by their fans.

The only two I can think of that switched styles in the past decade or so and did it successfully are Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus. Mainly because country is currently nothing more than watered down pop with a hint more of "dusty dirt roads" and something about "truck beds". Ughh!!! Hate modern country!
