1The Morning
2Gone
3Wicked Games
4The Birds Part 2
5The Hills

Good times, man. Good times.

 

[robtoofresco]

Who’s got some alt covers for KL?

 

[delete1234]

Ahh forgot about the classic birds pt2

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

True Colors is serious, one of my favorite tracks

 

[Narcissist]

I forgot about Birds Pt. 2. Replace Montreal with that

 

[jking0821]

Not a single song from Starboy or BBTM would touch my top 10.

 

[maicolkickhead]

Initiation is so cold. And That transition from the host to initiation...one of the best ever

 

[maicolkickhead]

Man i left the morning and birds pt 2 out of my top 5 ....man it might be impossible for me to have a legit top 5.

 

[a blinkin]

How about we try ranking his most underrated/unappreciated songs?

Now that his body of work is a bit more... diverse

1Heaven or Las Vegas
2Life of the Party
3The Knowing
4Initiation
5False Alarm ( aye man, what can I say... that track grew on me)

 

[tay1]

Xo/The Host isn't unappreciated. Highly beloved here .

 

[a blinkin]

You’re right. Swap that out with Initiation.

 

[stick]

False Alarm would be alot easier to listen to if it wasn't for that awful chorus.

I'm not getting into lists though. My favorites change with the seasons .

 

[maicolkickhead]

Enemy is highly underappreciated

 

[Mister Meaner]

Underappreciated could only be argued for anything post-Trilogy. Up to that, he was batting .1000. After KL, .997 with Live For being the only miss (btw, that doesn't negate the album being certified classic).

I'd say TITR & Angel may be underappreciated here. Honestly, both BBTM & SB are a few missteps from being really great albums.

 

[a blinkin]

I'd take Live For over Trash in the Rain and King of the Falloff. Easily.

 

[Narcissist]

I'd say Shameless and Often are pretty underappreciated

 

[Mister Meaner]

 

[MambaMentality824]

How can Wicked Games not be in everyones top 5?!

Actually NVM son has so many gems its crazy . Also HOB is pure perfection thats the greatest album ever also IDC.

 

[MambaMentality824]

As for underrated Id say two jawns off Kissland are underrated... Professional and Tears in the Rain.

 

[MambaMentality824]

I'd take Live For over Trash in the Rain and King of the Falloff. Easily.

Trash In the Rain?! Bruhhh take that back Tears in the Rain is pure flames.

 

[robtoofresco]

Trash In the Rain?! Bruhhh take that back Tears in the Rain is pure flames.

He was dropped on his head as an adult.

Don’t mind him.

Wicked Games has to be in my top 5. That's what grabbed me.

 

[northoaklandfc]

What's everyone's opinion about Gone?

You see, this is that real genius I was talking about.

The Hills is a farce in that arena.

Top 5 completely off the top of the head.

1. Professional
2. The Morning
3. Gone
4. The Party and the After Party
5. Next

 

[Olympus]

Look man, I understand why most of ya'll won't put Starboy that high on your list. It's a different Weeknd. It's more polished. It's got more structure. It isn't as raw as his earlier stuff.

But I thought Thursday was weak outside of LOTP and Valerie. EOS is cool. Montreal, Outside, XO/The Host, Same Old Song, Next, Till Dawn - all dope. I love KL. It dropped a few months after I started getting into The Weeknd with Trilogy. That album has a special place in my heart just because of where I was in life at that time. But objectively, half that album was good. And BBTM.........let's not start. Maybe 3 songs still hold up.

HOB
Starboy
EOS
KL
Thursday
Every feature he's ever done
50 Shades of Gray Soundtrack
His Old Haircut




BBTM

 

[tay1]

Starboy the song or album?

It's better than BBTM and I liked that alot. The first 6 joints on that album >>>. At this point, his biggest problem is that he's putting too many songs on his albums.
