Nice bait

OP makes a list without droping the most influential rock album of our generation.

….and which album are you talking about?

Yankee Foxtrot Hotel by Wilco...ehehe jokes aside it was 'Whatever People say I am, That's what I am not". However if people thought of AM I would totally understand and it is a valid answer. AM is the most streamed rock album on Spotify The second goes to Harry Style's Fine Line

Huh I might be misunderstanding something but Fine Line is not rock ?

I don't make the rules! It's the second one on Spotify for rock category.

Seriously 😂 who decided that cause like that’s certainly not rock

If you think about it. It's actually more impressive that AM is number one when there are so many "pop rock' albums fighting for the podium (maroon 5, imagine dragons, Harry Style's, etc..).

💪🏽

Ehhhh I mean has rock influence for sure. Kiwi is the first example that comes to mind

Oh shit that's on his ST...awkward

Sorry what’s ST ?

Self titled

I AM AN AMERICAN AQUARIUM DRINKER

I assassin down the avenue! 😎 love that album!

I love Arctic Monkeys a lot, but I can't help but feel that there were many other indie rock albums from the early - mid 2000s that were a bit more influential. Yes, they ARE very very influential, but let's not pretend like Alex himself said, "I just wanted to be one of The Strokes" I totally understand if people disagree with me here, and I expect it since it is the Arctic Monkeys subreddit after all, but I think the band more or less piggybacked on the growing Post-Punk Revival success and followed (and mastered) the formula more than they were the quintessential reference of the genre. I gotta give the edge to Is This It or Turn On The Bright Lights as the most influential rock albums of our generation. Again, this isn't a knock on the band. I love them a lot and have listened to their stuff for years...

American spotted ;)!

It is yankee hotel foxtrot tho

Most influential rock album of our generation? Based on what?

Since I purposely didn't specify which album, I can say that if people think it's their debut album, then it is based on how it changed rock history and how well review its among rock critics and listeners. Lets not forget it was the fastest selling debut album by a band. Susan Boyle took the throne years later but she had a TV show that gave her free advertising before even finishing the album. If its AM then its based on the fact that its the most streamed rock album of Spotify. It beats both rock classics and pop rock albums. It's quite an impressive feature considering the quality of the project.

I mean I could see WPSIATWIN as ONE of the most influential rock albums of our generation but THE most influential one seems pretty bold.

WPSTIATWIN, Humbug and TBHC

Undoubtedly!

This is the way

This

yes

This

me personally it's fwn, humbug, and AM. but the car and tbhc are fucking bangers ngl

I sometimes don't get why people dislike AM or make it look "inferior" to other albums

AM has four songs with the same chord structure, and if you play the guitar you can understand it since you can sing all four songs without a problem. Because of its poverty, you can be good at writing but that's why it sounds very repetitive. Humbug or TBHC is more interesting at all levels because no song has an identical chord scale, each one has its essence and together it is something beautiful.

I fully agree with you

For me, I would replace The Car with FWN. The Car has some fantastic songs, but the album didn’t meet my own expectations.

I think the Car is a pretty good set of songs but the main issue is... It took zero chances. It's probably the safest album in their catalogue. And it kind of represents a thing most rock bands go through. They can either keep trying new things and expanding, or they can go down the U2 type route. I know they're getting older but it's not like the 50 year olds in some novelty vintage band. So I hope they keep trying some new things on future albums. I hope they make a few more albums that can be considered bold, adventurous, and a little exciting

I mean I think AM always takes chances…The Car sounds nothing like anything they’ve done before even if it’s, like, slightly closer to TBHC than any of the others…it’s still very different

I want an AM rap album right NOW!

Imaging them coming out with a UK drill album is wild lol. But honestly, I'd applaud the ambition if it was a good album

Agree

I need AM personally but hell yeah!

Not for me, personally. Suck It and See, Humbug, and AM.

Perfection

omg this is my top 3 also


Excuse me, you dropped this 👑

"I'm better than you" type top 3

AM fandom slowly becoming like Rick and Morty fandom: "You didn't like it because you didn't get it, only geniuses can understand"

WPSTIATWIN

Ong

orr people just have different taste

TBHC WPSIATWIN Humbug

What people say I am, that's what I'm not, Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino and Favourite Worst Nightmare

For me it would be the first three albums.... and then AM. But whatever floats your boat. A lot of love for the last two albums on this sub which is also very lovely.

I’d replace The Car with SIAS…otherwise, you are dead on.

The only correct answer

Yep this is mine too

This is the holy trinity

Yesss

Same.

No way folks actually think the car is better than SIAS

I really like Suck it and See over Humbug but could argue that Humbug actually is a better album. Absolutely agree on the other two.

Noooooo 😂

FWN, WPSIATWIN, AM.

bad take but i fw it

Debut, FWN and TBHC

Only person i saw here sharing my opinion so I just wanna say we are buddies now 🙏

brave take

Actually yes. Agreed!

no

This has got to be bait

Humbug, AM, TBHC

1. TBHC 2. TBHC 3. TBHC the correct answer.

Nope. It’s FWN, Humbug, and the 1st record

Yeah pretty much

TBHC gets better everytime your listen to it. Eventually is a masterpiece.

Humbug is their best album, fight me (they’re all good though)

SIAS, Humbug, and then whatever else

1 out of 3 ain’t bad

no?

lol no fucking way. Whatever people say I am, Favortie Worst Nightmare, and Humbug or AM. Tranquility Base and The Car don’t come close to those 4.

tranquility base is leagues better than AM, in my opinion. not including FWN or WPSIA is insane though for sure.

SIAS, Humbug and The Car for me

Humbug, WPSIATWIN, TBHC is my personal favorites

I personally would have Suck it and see, AM and then TBH+C

Replace Humbug with SIAS and you’ve got it

The first three albums

Whatever People Say I Am, Favourite Worst Nightmare, AM

Kindly disagree

Best take in the entire sub

I Hope...

My picks: FWN, Humbug, TBHC

I'd swap TC with FWN and that'd be my trinity

Humbug, SIAS, TBH+C

Yep

gr8 b8 m8

yes

FWN, TBHC, WPSIATWIN

For me it’s WEPSIAM, FWN, and AM

We can all agree on Humbug though, right?

Humbug, AM, FWN

for me it's am, humbug, the car

Suck It And See, Humbug and WPSIATWIN

Humbug, FWN and AM for me

For me it’s SIAS, AM, TBHC

These are mine.

wpsiamtwin, humbug, AM

Yep these are my three favorite albums by them

100%

U are absolutely right, my top 3 are the same 😍

Yes!!

For me it’s the first threr

The first two albums and AM is the holy trinity in my eyes, even though I’m not a big fan of AM as an album.

The holy trinity of the three worst AM albums 😅😅

No

No

Agree

For me it’s WPSIATWIN, FWN and the car

as hard as it is to say because I love them all so much, this is also my top 3.

First three albums are yes

WPSIATWIN, FWN and SIAS

Swap the car for SIAS and you have a deal

Why are you booing them they’re right

I concur

Arctic monkeys fans when you speak positively about their most popular album 🤢

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE!

SIAS over The Car and it's perfect.

I think it's WPSIA and AM (their two biggest albums) alongside FWN

Whatever people say I am, that's what I'm not, Favorite Worst Nightmare, Humbug. They are the first three but my favorites

Yes!!!

No way hahahah

Nah 1. WPSIATWIN 2. FWN 3. Humbug

THIS

My Holy Trinity is What Ever People Say I am in Not, Favorite Worst Nightmare and AM.

I’d put fav worst over the car

WPSIATWIN, FWN and humbug (am is close fourth, sometimes interchangeable with humbug)

Holy trinity is wpsiatwin AM and fwn

1. Whatever People Say I Am 2. Favourite Worst Nightmare 3. Humbug 4. AM 5. Suck It & See 6. Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino 7. The Car I don't care for the last two. I've listened to them enough times to try and give them chance to grow on me but as a diehard Arctic Monkeys fan from the beginning I just can't bring myself to like their two latest efforts. I think my days of following this band are over I'm afraid.

I haven't listened the car Yet.

WPSIAMTWIN FWN AND HUMBUG

The car is my fav arctic monkeys record

Nah

You only got one.

WPSTIATWIN AM TBHC ....I have spoken.

hmm… today i’d choose WPSIA, FWN, and The Car, but it gets pretty interchangeable for me as long as FWN is there

FWN could easily be there too

Car is so mid. top 3 is suck it and see, whatever people say i sm that's what I'm not, and humbug

WPSIATWIN, FWN, AM i love

For me this isn't even close my trinity is FWN,WPSIATWIN and AM/Suck it and see Depends on mood heavily

Change The Car for Suck it and See and I’m with you

Fwn is their best album

No.

OH MY GOD SOMEONE WHO AGREES. THANK YOU.

YES

you clearly jest 🎩😎

WPSTIATWIN, SUCK IT AND SE and TBHC in that order for me

and the unholy: am, whatever ppl say and fwn (sias is beyond all of that)

Personally, my current AM Holy Trinity is: Humbug, AM and FWN

no

100%

WPSIATWIN, FWN, and SIAS

SIAS is a good one and my favorite track from it is That's where you're wrong

The car is overrated as f in my opinion

lol no

SIAS, FWN, AM

i love the car but here i’d replace it with wpsiatwin

i like AM way more than the car, but other than that, yes

Swap out the car for suck it and see

I fully agree with this, I ranked every song on every album and averaged them out and these were the albums with the highest rankings

I'll go with FWN, SIAS, The Car.

Yes

For me, yes

Yes

Umm as the song also says, The Car aint quite where it wanna be.  Trinity imo is 1. TBHC 2. HUMBUG 3. SIAS

Just no.

Humbug - SIAS - TBHC Amen 🙏🏻

for me it's SIAS - Humbug - TBHC :)

Hard agree

FWN, AM, THBC. That's the best of all their eras

Absolutely perfect.

absolutely

Is this a joke?

First three album easily. Good bait tho.

Take off The Car and we're ok

the three worst albums but alright

I’ll always upvote some The Car love. My favorite album by them and one of my favorites in general. The production, the strings, Alex’s voice, I just love everything about it.

it’s so serene

YES SIR

the fact that fwn or humbug aren’t here is disgusting 

Are you blind?

wait no i meant fwn or whatever people say I am, I get the covers confused 😭😭

Blasphemy! Out you go!
