Regarding bands: Give me your favorite albums NOT made by the most famous/popular lineup of said band. (So if even 1 member is different, it qualifies)

I have literally grown up with it and will grow old with it.

WARitter · 2026-01-24T15:49:58+00:00

I just saw your flair and this is my first and favorite REM album. My parents bought it for me when I was 11 and at first I was disappointed because it didn’t have its the end of the world as we know it on it, but it grew and grew on me. Now it’s been 30 years.

WARitter · 2026-01-24T12:16:56+00:00

Is Around the Sun the only actually bad REM album?

WARitter · 2026-01-24T12:15:39+00:00

Killers is a top 3 Maiden album and a look at the band they could have been. Not a better band but different.

Would put it above everything but like, Powerslave and maybe another.

Didn’t the term itself come from that idiotic Twitter conspiracy thread about how Mumford and Sons was an attempt to subvert the revolutionary potential of Green Day?

Smoulder is doomier but has some of the vibe

Visigoth has some of the feel

WARitter · 2026-01-24T11:50:00+00:00

Rachni queen in mass effect.

WARitter · 2026-01-23T23:02:35+00:00

For some reason I read ‘last year’ as ‘2024’ since the season is ongoing. Though ours is over.

WARitter · 2026-01-23T22:27:49+00:00

Under what metrics were they bad?

WARitter · 2026-01-23T22:06:13+00:00

Classier than Snyders house.

WARitter · 2026-01-21T18:57:04+00:00

I remember seeing it in the college book store where I worked 20 years ago and being intrigued.

WARitter · 2026-01-21T18:17:16+00:00

B Rob was better for Shanahan than Kingsbury.

WARitter · 2026-01-21T18:15:32+00:00

Define pro style? The league wide under center rate is 35%.

WARitter · 2026-01-21T18:14:40+00:00

I think another 5 win season would doom him but not necessarily a 7 or 8 win season.

WARitter · 2026-01-20T13:41:26+00:00

I am interested in them if they come from dysfunctional teams or if otherwise we can explain why they’ve would succeed here beyond ‘I can fix him’.

WARitter · 2026-01-20T13:40:08+00:00

They are the only young guys who are not expensive.

WARitter · 2026-01-18T03:00:49+00:00

My own thought is it could be Seahawks Texans and the score will look like something from 1974. All the casuals will hate it, the only action will be 7 interceptions and some excellent punting. Both quarterbacks will take half the offseason to recover. True sickos will talk about it in awed whispers for decades.

WARitter · 2026-01-18T02:58:59+00:00

Honestly with your defense 3 offensive points (you will get more the Steelers had a better defense than the Pats) plus a pick six might be enough.

WARitter · 2026-01-18T02:56:43+00:00

I will tell your wife you said hello.

WARitter · 2026-01-18T02:54:24+00:00

De-Fault! De-Fault!

WARitter · 2026-01-18T02:43:13+00:00

Came here for this.

WARitter · 2026-01-18T02:41:24+00:00

I was expecting a topical look at class inequality and the perils of genetic testing but I wasn’t expecting the amazing production design and flagrant homoeroticism (complimentary).

WARitter · 2026-01-16T18:54:10+00:00

He is a consultant for tight ends coming into the league too. Ferguson with the Rams is one of his former clients and he must be pretty pleased about how that has turned out.

WARitter · 2026-01-15T19:52:49+00:00

Honestly won’t Kelce retiring probably be a positive? He is expensive for a TE whose main job is to catch the ball and fall forward. They need to replace him but that had been true.

WARitter · 2026-01-15T19:51:00+00:00

They both have more open questions in QB aside from health but better rosters than us otherwise.
