"Maroon 5 is band you're going to be hearing a lot of for many years to come!"

matchbox had a song hit #40 in 2012, thomas' highest charting song with or without them this decade

Thomas and the 'box quietly shifted to the adult contemporary zone right around the millennium, basically right after their original heyday, which seems to have been a smart move given the chart fates of most 90s rock acts. Their chart performance belies their ubiquity in mall soundtracks, etc.; "Unwell" and "Little Wonders" probably get more recurrent play than anything from Yourself or Someone Like You.

Blue eyed soul never dies. It just gets whiter.

Thank you, r3dd1t user Son0vaGlitch, for this mouth swap

hook in this song reminds me of "let's groove"

That is probably better clickbait for me than the actual video, but I think I'm still going to avoid checking it out.

Last summer I asked a certain Pitchforker who lives in L.A. if Levine doesn't represent the industry's ideal pop star, i.e. they want him collaborating with everybody, writing songs for everyone, gets invited to all the parties. "You have no idea," he said.

I'd happily read an Adam Levine Pitchfork column.

I finally figured out that that song I like on the radio that sounds a bit like Bruno Mars is these guys. It took me a while because I couldn't remember any of the lyrics except for "Sho' 'nough" which is kind of hard to search for.

"Sugar," I presume?

they're fully terrible now and have always been at least halfway so, but if someone with taste (/disregard for band egos and label imperatives) were behind their eventual "best of" that shit would be timeless

"Sugar," I presume?

Yes, I misheard the title - due to the high pitch and weird stress on the second syllable, I think. I think I liked it better before I understood the lyrics, which are kind of whatever.

thread title and opening post are aging like fine wine

lol i never read that op, it's wonderful

Just heard this quote on VH1 by some stooge from Entertainment Weekly in regards to their video, "This Love". Now, while I'm sure they're perfectly nice guys, doesn't the notion that Maroon 5 have a long, successful career in front of them seem positively laughable? I mean, Maroon 5 are just this year's Third Eye Blind. Or am I missing something, and they really are the fuckin' second coming?

Yeah, I was wrong about a few things.

Second coming indeed.

one of the best thread-title typos

Yeah everyone knows it's Moron 5.

Saw a funny Neko Case post about last night. Something like "fuck all of you for making such a big deal about half of Janet Jackson's nipple when that greased pig was allowed to perform on TV."

The other funny thing I saw was someone saying Adam Levine looked like he was starring in a remake of Memento if all of his tattoos were reminders of where he left his Juul.

He's like the singer from Buckcherry with a better manager and, I assume, a worse falsetto.

Adam Levine is the Shia LaBeouf of music.

he has a truly awful voice, like a pan-pipe playing in a bucket

xxp not so much falsetto, more 'knackers caught in gears of a 14 speed racing bike'.

ordinarily i'd agree but

i'd say i am not even willing to joke about that but i think i just did, so...

lol imagine travelling back in time 15 years and saying, "Brady is gonna win a Super Bowl in 2019 and Maroon 5 will play the halftime show"

'and wait until you hear about our president!'

Doc Brown: "OK future boy, so who plays the Super Bowl halftime show in 2019?"
Marty: "Maroon 5"
Doc Brown: "Maroon 5!?!"

Doc Brown: "...so who's President then, Pee Wee Herman?"
Marty: "Ah, actually not someone that qualified..."

Reading the first posts in this thread is like going back to 2015 and reading people dismissing Trump's chances

read this as "worse fellatio"

I heard that was their original band name.

Every time this thread gets bumped, I think about the first time I saw the video for "Creep" by Radiohead and how I confidently told my cousin, "we'll never hear from this group again"

Maroon 5's longevity is way more impressive though, they went from having one song to like...having two

xxp well they do suck bad

Tbf they have been hiring hitmakers for some time now. Right?
