Which is the best album for Paramore?

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!

You forgot about Kanye.

Sufjan Stevens changes a lot from album to album

Arctic Monkeys changed dramatically on their most recent

Arcade Fire completely changed their vibe

MGMT changed big time

New Gorillaz is barely recognizable compared to old Gorillaz

No Ween album is remotely similar tbh

Tom Waits has done more genres than you can even name

Mastodon has done almost every variation of metal

Fall Out Boy (lol) is way different now than when they started, and they’re bigger than ever

Green Day changed dramatically throughout their career

The Flaming Lips change their sound every couple albums

Musical Gods like Swans are rarely predictable

The more I think about this the more hilariously wrong you are. It’s actually insane how often great bands change their sound, whether they’re mainstream or not. There are so many more examples, and several I kept out of this post because the band in question was kind of obscure
