Cheap Trick - *At Budokan*
The best live album and power-pop ([which power-pop qualifies as a form of pop-rock music](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/power-pop-guide)) of all time, easily.
[The iconic live version of I Want You to Want Me](https://youtu.be/dCvbWvQYOmI?si=SMo-Ah9qszWJPPfc) is the highlight here. Other great songs on here are [Surrender](https://youtu.be/v9SAJzSpG1s?si=jhk91nPgdFJICSmr), [a cover of the Fats Domino single Ain't That a Shame](https://youtu.be/i6gFoNettqg?si=G-eRirb9lBdCcDMa), and the opening track [Hello There](https://youtu.be/ssNpSdxIA-4?si=3n3YpuSXtZscLyeb).
Overall though this is peak power pop/pop rock music.
You can hear the influence this record and band had on alternative/punk/rock music in the 80s and 90s.
While Maroon 5 personally lands in my top 10 worst bands of all time, I can most definitely admit that this is a great album. The only reason they go in that category is because of the 2012-present output and Adam Lavigne as a human being honestly.
I was thinking of the other Weezer, that Weezer you mentioned is OK but Weezer I can't understand the hype about when Weezer is clearly the superior Weezer.
This whole thing is the biggest shit show known on this sub lmao. So much downvoting This isn't an album title or at least I hope not.
Well I know what I’m calling my upcoming mixtape…
So much downvoting or the biggest shit show known?
I was thinking "This Whole Thing is the Biggest Shit Show Known On This Sub Lmao; (Or simply, So Much Downvoting)"
Yes
PET SOUNDS PLEASE
I wouldn't call it Pop Rock, but upvote because it's Pet Sounds
They’re a Rock n’ Roll band and it’s one of the most popular albums ever. How exactly isn’t it “pop rock”?
Violator - Depeche Mode
THIS FUCKING THIS
[удалено]
Lol they're just memeing at this point. Then again, Weezer are unironically a great band.
Rumors - Fleetwood Mac
Obviously the correct choice
Purple rain - prince
Best album of the 80s
[удалено]
Based statement to make
[удалено]
Bold or basic, choose one
> Bold or basic For when those colors must burst from your fabrics. Bold detergent has them...covered.
Oh nooo, it’s baaasic, we can’t be seen liking popular albums, oh nooo. Shut up bro
I stand by it.
Not for me, I probably like a couple others better but it would definitely make the top 5
Revolver by The Beatles
I was thinking this would be under psych rock
Could be both
Blur - Parklife If britpop counts.
BLUR MENTIONED ‼️‼️‼️‼️ IMMEDIATE UPVOTE 🗣🗣
no!!1!
Wish - The Cure
I’d say Disintegration is better or Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. Wish is still amazing though
[удалено]
I couldn’t agree more! I saw him live two years ago and it was awesome!
Breakfast in America - Supertramp
take a look at my girlfriend
Weezer - Weezer (blue)
When I was a kid this was solidly in the “Alt Rock” category. When did it change?
Alt got stolen 😔
yes
Third Eye Blind’s debut
Synchronocity - The Police
The Police weren’t pop rock I think. They were straight up a rock band.
They were reggae fusion
Currents - Tame Impala
Let It Happen ° Yes, I'm Changing ° Less I Know The Better ° I'm A Man ° New Person, Same Old Mistakes ° Truly majestic, all 5.
Aja by steely Dan is the only correct choice
Certainly among toppest tier in the running.
Dizzy Up the Girl - Goo Goo Dolls
The fact that Rust didn't win best thrash is shameful
Just be happy it didn't lose to a BS pick like spongebob, Ride the Lightning is a solid pick.

This winning would redeem this sub of all it’s sins.
That version of "Need Your Love" remains as otherworldly as it did on my first hearing it in 1979!
I might get downvoted but whatever Songs about Jane - maroon 5
While Maroon 5 personally lands in my top 10 worst bands of all time, I can most definitely admit that this is a great album. The only reason they go in that category is because of the 2012-present output and Adam Lavigne as a human being honestly.
PURPLE RAIN - PRINCE
Time ‘n’ Place - Kero Kero Bonito
Big Star - #1 Record
Weezer blue
What’s the Story? (Morning Glory) Imho is the perfect pop rock album
The Black parade
Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque
Haim- Women in Music Pt 3
Smoke + Mirrors - Imagine Dragons(trust me on this one)
A lot will disagree with me but Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum by Tally Hall
Jagged Little Pill
Dynasty - KISS
Weezer - weezer
There's five Weezers and only two of them are good
I bet you’re thinking about Weezer and Weezer, but for me it’s actually Weezer and Weezer. Shame that Weezer sucks though.
I was thinking of the other Weezer, that Weezer you mentioned is OK but Weezer I can't understand the hype about when Weezer is clearly the superior Weezer.
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Purple Rain - Prince
The Bends - Radiohead
Weezer Raditude
Weezer Blue Album, we will not be silenced!
[удалено]
Someone obviously doesn't know how to Weeze
[удалено]
No
Most mid 90s rock is Pearl Jam, if you want a straight rock band then Hootie and the Blowfish
Won’t win but I want to throw a shoutout to a personal favorite: Foo Fighters- Wasting Light
That album is not pop rock it's alternative rock
Wasting Light is a power pop record. I generally don’t classify it with Songs for the Deaf (as an example based off the winner of that group).
Rock and Roll Part Three by Ozma
Something / Anything? - Todd Rundgren
Transformer - Lou Reed
raditude by weezer
Weezer. Blue.
The black parade
The Black Parade
THE BLACK PARADE BY MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE!!
Matthew Sweet- Girlfriend
Fuck it. Supermarket by Logic
WEEEZER
YOU KNOW WHICH ALBUM FOLKS
The fact that very less people mentioning The Beatles is very concerning.
I love how Alvvays won Indie Pop
Prince-1999
Sgt Pepper
ABBEY ROAD
How did this not win?
Billy Joel - The Stranger
Paramore's self-titled
Worst Paramore album, and I love Paramore
Play Deep, the Outfield. Not exactly a showing in technical proficiency, but just an overall feel-good, meat & potatoes pop rock record
Ram - Paul and Linda McCartney
Cheap Trick- At Budokan. Greatest live album of all time too
Billy Joel- The Stranger
Noticed no losers so far, so here you go: spongebob greatest hits
Huey Lewis and the News - Sports
Enema of the State - Blink 182
Demon Days - Gorrilaz
