Janet Jackson doesn't hit her run of bangers until Control

MJ probably in the same boat, but I never bothered with his early stuff
ditto Faye Wong
and Underworld
and Neurosis
and Pantera
and the Beach Boys
and maybe the Gathering (though I have heard theirs and it mostly doesn't suck)
Radiohead a very obvious example
|

I like stevie wonder as an answer cuz it wasnt just one or two albums. someone who started making shit really young (so MJ too) definitely checks out. with radiohead im less inclined just cuz it's the one (1) album people agree was a slow start
beach boys makes sense for sure too, tho "surfer girl" is fire
Prince and the National feel parallel: an album barely anyone listens to, an album some people like, and then the classic run

Neurosis makes sense even if I dig their early stuff
Pantera you’d be better off not starting at all
|

"an album barely anyone listens to, an album some people like, and then the classic run"
yep, so radiohead!

You'll Cowards Don't Even Start With Pablo Honey

The Bends would make a lot of all-time lists if OKC didnt exist, and does anyways. I kinda like it too personally is maybe the bigger issue
I used to think there was less "distance" (?) between it and PH than was supposed by most fans tho, so I get the take
|

Maybe Merzbow? People tend to ignore most of the 80s material, although it's not necessarily a quality issue...

Michael Jackson is a great choice
Off the Wall is from a different universe from anything before it
|
| |
MJ and Stevie are similar cases I guess: the donning of artistic autonomy was much more literal than usual just cuz they were tiny babys at first
|

I still gotta hear if anything off that 1977 bjork album is better than anything off that 1973 foster sylvers album. battle of the 11 year olds ("misdemeanor" is one of my fav songs)
