Sum up an entire artist's catalogue in one sentence

karaokeman

You know how this works, name a artist/band and write one sentence to summarize their music as a whole, it can be a quote from someone else, or it can be your own. I'll start.

Adele

"Welcome to dumpsville"

The Weeknd

"R&B for people who don't like R&B"

Blink 182

"I could've written that myself"

vader65

Boyce Avenue

"Just write your own stuff and stop covering stuff!"

"12 albums about electricity and sex"

one direction

Seeing as he's being mentioned on the banned music thread:

Gary Glitter:

Who's solo stuff is far better than the Chili Pepper's.

Oasis - 2 great albums, 5 crap albums.*

* See also: U2, Rolling Stones, except with possibly different numbers.

His solo stuff is good but not as good as hes time in the chili peppers imho.

Him and the flea did some amazing things together, two great musicians.

I think people are missing the point... That's not describing an artist's catalogue, that's just telling everyone what you think of their stuff. I figured it was supposed to be more witty synopses of an artist's temperament or attitude. Like

So can we leave out the "X's albums are ****"-type posts? There's enough reasonless criticism in plenty of other threads as it is.
