We listened to a LOT of Maroon 5 for this episode. We listened to TOO MUCH Maroon 5 for this episode. We made it out the other end, but definitely worse for wear. And yet, these are the lengths that we will go to for all of you, dear listeners. It's our second-ever Greatest Sh**s episode, where we take an oft-panned band and put together a sort of \"greatest hits\" release, consisting of one song from each of their albums. In the process, we try to determine if they deserve the ire that they've received over time. Nickelback was first, because of course they were, but Maroon 5 felt like a good follow-up. Which... I guess it kinda was? We regretted our choice immediately, but we pushed through 8 albums and 99 tracks - along with another 11 songs on their first album, when they were known as Kara's Flowers. We talked about all of this, with the energy of a halibut that somehow found its way into a non-Newtonian fluid. (Trust me, that sentence was the most interesting part of this discography, and by extension, this episode.) So I guess if you really want to, you can let us know on the socials whether our picks were proper, or if there are other songs that you would go with instead for these albums: Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/fairlykickass.bsky.social Instagram: https://instagram.com/fairlykickass TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fairlykickass Threads: https://www.threads.net/@fairlykickass Website (for Ride-Along Playlists): https://fairlykickass.com/ Next week: Something much, MUCH more exciting.
