Flawless Bands

[SlaveNumber23]

So are there any bands you listen to that simply don't have a single song you don't like? For me its pretty rare that I find a band that fits this, as pretty much every band I've listened to seems to have one or two songs that I hate or simply don't like.

The two bands that achieve this for me are System of a Down and Cancer Bats, I could listen to both of these bands endlessly on repeat for hours and never get tired of them or ever want to skip a song. Lamb of God comes close but their New American Gospel album has a few songs I'm not too fond of.

So share me your 'flawless bands', I can predict that The Beatles might come up from a lot of people, I personally haven't listened to enough of their songs to decide.

Faunts. I can't think of a single song I dislike. A couple of their albums are the only ones where I've given every song the "special" 5-star rating (I only rate songs that are really bloody good, and then only ever with 5 stars).

 

[Erja_Perttu]

That's a really subjective question. I've never heard a Queen song I didn't like, so I'll got with them.

I'll throw Simon and Garfunkel out there too. Never heard a Simon and Garfunkel song I haven't liked either.

 

[Keoul]

Ken Ashcorp
Not a band just a solo musician but dag nabit his music is fabulous, every song he makes is just amazing

 

[Rawne1980]

Queen.

I have all their albums and a couple of LP's and some DvD's.

Been a fan since the 80's.

They are the only band who I can listen to all day.

 

[Zacharious-khan]

System of a down, i haven't found a song of theirs i didn't enjoy.

 

[Rastien]

Nirvana if only because kurt cobain shot himself so stopped himself from churning out shite eventually.

Look at smashing pumpkins... Gish good album liked all the songs if abit rough and ready, Siamese Dream pinnacle of there ability truly amazing album love it, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness great album can't quite compare to Siamese Dream.

Then we start going down the shitter till we get to the most recent steamer of Ocenia T-T

 

[AnarchistFish]

Cancer Bats are way too inconsistent imo. I like their singles but their albums as wholes bore me.

SOAD are decent.


OT: See, Godspeed You! Black Emperor are my favourite band of all time but their music isn't really divided into songs... I love all their work apart from their occasional drone tracks.

There's Burial, but there are a few tracks on his debut that don't particularly do anything for me. I love all his tracks since though.

There's Bon Iver but I didn't like a few of the songs on Blood Bank EP and I think there's one song on For Emma Forever Ago I don't like.

There's The Weeknd, who's probably the closest I can get. There are a couple of songs on Thursday I find weaker than the rest of his work and I haven't heard the new songs he's released yet but I don't know if they'll match up to the quality of his 3 mixtapes.

I could say Slipknot, but I haven't listened to them in ages. Back 2 years ago when they were my favourite band I think I'd have liked every single one of their songs.

Faunts. I can't think of a single song I dislike. A couple of their albums are the only ones where I've given every song the "special" 5-star rating (I only rate songs that are really bloody good, and then only ever with 5 stars).

My favourite song of all time is Faunts song but some of their stuff I can't get into at all and nothing they've written gets me as much as that does.

 

[Talaris]

Wow this is a though one, of all the artists I like they all have at least 1 or 2 songs I never particularly enjoyed.

The Japanese group Fade I would probably say has never made a song I dislike, but then again most of their music is very similar to begin with.

 

[Smeatza]

Pretty much all of my favourite bands/artists fit this.
Incubus, Bowling for Soup, Sum41, Suicide Machines, the list goes on.

 

[NearLifeExperience]

I's have to with Moonsorrow, Wyrd, and Agalloch.

If you like one Moonsorrow song, you like them all.

Anyway, I think I'll go with the trip hop duo Beauty's Confusion
Irresistible music..

 

[Rastien]

Oh maybe Johnny Cash to be fair? i havn't found a song of his i didn't dislike, even his epitaph album whilst very different was beautiful

 

[Legion]

No, even with my top four favourite bands, they have songs that I do not like. None that I dislike as much as the average Justin Bieber song, but ones that I more often than not choose to skip if it comes on when I have my music shuffled.

 

[smithy_2045]

I don't think there's a band that I haven't been at least slightly disappointed with at least one of their songs.

 

[Vegosiux]

The old Nightwish, at worst I was "not bad" about their songs. I did tend to skip them for the really good ones sometimes tho.

 

[Shilefin]

I know the feeling. I don't have many of such bands/music players/composers, but I don't think anyone really does. It's a rare occurance, so sharing it is a good idea.

For me, personally - all the Miracle of Sound songs. Dang, I even liked the auto-tune song he made. It's a real luck I've found an artist that I love making songs about the subject I adore.

Up next, I think everything Jeremy Soule has ever touched I could probably like, whether it's a lamp post or a Guild Wars 2 music piece.

And, this band doesn't *quite get up to the category, but because I don't think they get enough publicity, and I love these guys, and I have a beard, here's a sample:

Spoiler: Beards!

Lastly, I don't want to sound hipster, but

Spoiler: I don't expect you to know this artist

But if you do - Kudos.

 

[Rule Britannia]

BASTILLE

Beautiful song <3 by an amazing band

 

[Dosvidonya]

Portugal the Man (favorite band, love every one of their albums)
Tame Impala
Radiohead
TV on the Radio
Porcupine Tree
Grizzly Bear

Honorable mention goes to Passion Pit. They only have two albums so far but they're both fantastic.

 

[Beffudled Sheep_v1legacy]

Amon Amarth release nothing but perfection in my opinion. I love all of their songs and albums that I've heard.

Techno Lord, Kavinsky, Eyedea and Aesop Rock are others.

Special mention goes to bands that I used to consider pure gold:
In Flames until they're album Sense of Purpose. I disliked most of the songs but am thoroughly enjoying their newest album.

Saul Williams until Rocket. He went for a different sound, style and subject matter and I just don't like it.

Dark Tranquility until the song Lost to Apathy. I just didn't like that one song for some reason, everything else is amazing though.

And many more.

 

[Esotera]

Opeth...I can't think of a single bad song that they've made.


I'm also tempted to say Chimera, as they were a really short-lived band but produced nothing but quality. And maybe also Pantera. Seems like most of the flawless bands broke up quickly.
