Top 10 Bands with the Most Chronologically Confusing Studio Albums
Normally, a band's studio album discography would be fine, but these bands are confusing. Either because they have two albums titled the same thing, or the same album with two titles, or even the same album title but with a completely different track listing.
AC/DC are a Australian hard rock band, formed in November 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, who continued as members until Malcolm's illness and departure in 2014 . They were fronted by Bon Scott until his untimely death due to alcohol poisoning in 1979, after which they hired Brian Johnson to front the band.
Commonly referred to as a hard rock or blues rock band. One of my favorite bands of all time but their discography is very confusing because most people think High Voltage was their first album; they are right but it isn't the same album they are thinking of. The High Voltage most people know is actually the T.N.T. album with two songs removed and two songs from the original High Voltage added in. That's not the only confusing thing about them, the original version of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap contained the songs Jailbreak and R.I.P. (Rock in Peace), but they were removed for the international release and instead replaced with Rocker, a song from T.N.T. and a new song titled Love at First Feel, I should also mention tracklisting for both versions of Dirty Deeds are different besides the title track being the first song. On their next album Let There Be Rock it was mostly intact, but the song Crabsody in Blue was removed for international released and instead replaced with Problem Child a song that already appeared on both versions of ...more

Quiet Riot is an American heavy metal band. The band was founded in 1973, by guitarist Randy Rhoads and bassist Kelly Garni under the name Mach 1. They then changed the name to Little Women, before settling on Quiet Riot in May 1975. The band's name was inspired by a conversation with Rick Parfitt of the British band Status Quo, who expressed desire to name a band "Quite Right," and his thick English accent made it sound like he was saying "Quiet Riot." The band is ranked at No. They seem normal untill you get to QR III (Quiet Riot III) which is their 5th album, but most people didn't know the first 2 Quiet Riot albums existed because they were only released in Japan, then you get to QR (Quiet Riot) now they have 2 self titled albums, then there is Quiet Riot 10 which is their 12th album.
Chicago is an American rock band formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois, calling themselves the Chicago Transit Authority in 1968 before shortening the name in 1969. The self-described “rock and roll band with horns” began writing politically charged rock music, and later moved to a softer sound, generating several hit ballads. They have many albums titled Chicago [Insert number here] but if you only go by studio albums, you will realize some numbers are skipped it's because these numbers appeared on compilation albums.

Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band formed in July 1967, in London.

Several albums were released long after being recorded, there are compilations of theirs made of only unheard of material, all members are credited simply as "performer" on each album, and worst of all two lineups that record separately but under the 'Faust' name. I will never understand them or their history.
