Top 10 Most Inconsistent Music Artists

Here are a list of bands that have absolutely no form. You could never predict whether their next album is going to be good or not.
The Top Ten
1 Weezer Weezer is an American alternative rock/power pop band formed in Los Angeles in 1992, currently consisting of Rivers Cuomo (lead vocals, lead and rhythm guitar), Patrick Wilson, Brian Bell, and Scott Shriner.

Being a massive Weezer fan, you can never trust them, you never know if their next album is going to be good or not.

Blue Album: Great
Pinkerton: Great
Green Album: Bad
Maladroit: Good
Make Believe: Bad
Red Album: Great
Raditude: Bad
Hurley: Good
Everything Will Be Alright In The End: Great
White Album: Amazing
Pacific Daydream: Bad
Teal Album: Bad
Black Album: OK

Van Weezer: Good at the moment

Not a big Weezer fan, only like their really old stuff. I really dislike their new stuff.

2 Foo Fighters Foo Fighters are an American alternative rock band, formed in Seattle in 1994. The band was founded by Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl after the death of Kurt Cobain and the dissolution of his previous band. The band consists of Dave Grohl (lead vocalist, rhythm guitar, main songwriter), Pat Smear (rhythm... read more

They went from Wasting Light to Sonic Highways, and There's Nothing Left to Lose to One By One.

3 Justin Bieber Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette... read more

Why did he have to make yummy. That ruined the entire "he's so much better now" thing. Who's next, Shawn Mendes going from songs like Treat You Better (my 7th worst of 2016) later to In My Blood (my 8th best of 2018) to something like Yummy itself?

Purpose was a good album, but he kind of went downhill again.

4 Fall Out Boy Fall Out Boy is an American pop punk band formed in Wilmette, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, in 2001. The band consists of vocalist and guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Pete Wentz, guitarist Joe Trohman, and drummer Andy Hurley.

First 2 albums were decent pop punk/emo pop, then they made Infinity on High and Folie a Deux and find some personality in it mixing pop punk and emo-ish lyrics with funk and pop... but after that they just made whatever they felt it was gonna give them attention
Save Rock n Roll and American Beauty/American Psycho were pretty successful, but MANIA almost kills their career, being critically panned and not giving them any single hit in the charts (except maybe Young and Menace but only for like a week).

5 Arctic Monkeys The Arctic Monkeys, otherwise known as the Death Ramps, are a British indie rock band formed in 2002 in Sheffield, England. The band consists of Alex Turner (lead vocalist, songwriter, electric and rhythm guitarist), Jamie Cook (electric and rhythm guitarist, songwriter), Matt Helders (percussionist,... read more
6 Coldplay Coldplay are a British pop rock band formed in 1996. The band consists of Chris Martin (lead vocalist and pianist), Jonny Buckland (lead guitarist), Guy Berryman (bassist) and Will Champion (drummer and backing vocalist). Manager Phil Harvey is often considered an unofficial fifth member. The band renamed... read more

Started being post britpop and were okay at it, by Viva La Vida they started including more things to their music and making it bigger and bigger, however by their latest 4 albums they felt less creative and did a Fall Out Boy and just added what they thought it was mainstream

7 Pink Floyd Pink Floyd are an English progressive rock band formed in 1965 in London, England. They achieved international acclaim with their progressive and psychedelic music. The band consisted of 5 members - David Gilmour (Vocals and Guitar), Syd Barrett (Vocals and Guitar), Nick Mason (Drums), Roger Waters... read more
8 Queen Queen are an English rock band formed in London in 1970. The original lineup was Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), Roger Taylor (drums, vocals), and John Deacon (bass guitar, vocals). Before forming into Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor had played together in a band... read more

If albums were the only factor, Queen wouldn't even be top band. But obviously there are other factors that put them amongst the greatest bands. They have a lot of talent, and a bunch of great songs. But none of Queen's albums are very good by any means, apart from Sheer Heart Attack and Night At The Opera.

9 Green Day Green Day are an American pop punk/punk rock band formed in East Bay, California in 1987. The members include Billie Joe Armstrong (vocals and guitar), Mike Dirnt (bass), Tré Cool (drums) and Jason White (guitar). Green Day are associated with punk rock, pop punk and alternative rock.

11 Maroon 5 Maroon 5 is an American pop/pop rock band that originated in Los Angeles, California. Before the current group was established, the original four members, Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick, formed a band known as Kara's Flowers in 1994, while they were still in high school.

Started out okay mixing pop, rock, funk and rnb but went into one of the worst downward spirals I have seen in music around the early 2010s

12 Miley Cyrus Miley Ray Hemsworth (born Destiny Hope Cyrus), known as Miley Cyrus, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She was born on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, to Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus. Her voice type is Mezzo-Soprano and has 4 octaves. She became a teen idol starring as the... read more

She was very good & consistent when she did Hannah Montana, but after that she went downhill though she got better during Malibu & truly healed with her 2020 comeback as far as apparently.

Completely agree even in the same year she has had both great and awful songs.

13 The 1975 The 1975 are an English pop-rock band originating from Manchester. The group consists of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Matthew "Matty" Healy, lead guitarist Adam Hann, bassist Ross MacDonald, and drummer George Daniel.

Started doing modern indie with a lot of post punk elements during their first 2 albums, but after the third one they did something really weird... trying to be experimental and mixing a lot of styles just to be considered as the new Radiohead... by their latest album they felt more like mixing just whatever the hell they made at the studio and giving an album out of it, making it extremely long and oversaturated, even critics started being aware of it by the little acclaim and success it had

14 Oasis Oasis were an English britpop band formed in Manchester in 1991. Developed from an earlier group, the Rain, the band originally consisted of Liam Gallagher (vocals and tambourine), Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan, and Tony McCarroll. Noel Gallagher (Liam's Brother) served as the primary... read more

Considered by many as the last big rock band, Oasis' first 2 albums were gigantic and successful around the world, but after Be Here Now, the quality of their work started decreasing and their popularity also declined, at least their last 2 studio albums were somehow decent.

15 Panic! at the Disco Panic! at the Disco was an American pop rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2004 and featuring the current lineup of vocalist Brendon Urie, accompanied on tour by bassist Dallon Weekes, guitarist Kenneth Harris, and drummer Dan Pawlovich.
16 The Beatles The Beatles were an English pop rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. The members consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They were soon known as the foremost and most influential act of rock era. Rooted in skiffle, beat, and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later... read more

I'm not sure, I think they were quite consistent.

17 Omar Rodriguez Lopez
18 Judas Priest Judas Priest are a British heavy metal band that formed in Birmingham, England, in 1969. They are often referred to as one of the greatest metal bands of all time, and are even commonly called “The Metal Gods”, after one of the songs on their 1980 album “British Steel”... read more

Not a fan, but from what I've heard, they're a bit of a roller coaster.

19 Eminem Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is an American rapper, actor and music producer born on October 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri. Eminem has sold over 300 million records making him the bestselling hip-hop artist of all time. In addition to his solo career, he is a member of D12 and (with Royce... read more

21 Taylor Swift Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She was born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Swift is best known for writing personal songs and has won 13 Grammy Awards... read more

I honestly think Reputation was not as bad as some people would say but in terms of individual songs definitely.

22 Blur Blur are an English rock band, formed in London in 1988. The group consists of singer/keyboardist/guitarist Damon Albarn, guitarist/singer Graham Coxon, bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree.

I didn't like Think Tank (7th album), or their self-titled (5th album), but 13 (6th album) is my personal favourite.

23 Ozzy Osbourne John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne was born on December 3, 1948. He is also known as ''The Prince of Darkness''. Ozzy is an English singer, songwriter, and television personality. He rose to prominence in the early 1970s as the lead vocalist of the band Black Sabbath. Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath... read more
