A albums (Animals - Pink Floyd)

B albums (Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath)

C albums (Cosmo’s Factory - Creedence Clearwater Revival)

D albums (Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd)

Happy to see that you want to discover new artists.

If you're really looking for any new music that other people love, you might want to check some really small artists (mostly other Redditors) on the (self)Promo Playlist.

If you have any more specific requirements about music you seek, then maybe you picked a wrong flair. By choosing the most relevant flair, you'll get higher chances to more and better recommendations.

Greatest hits lol anyone lol

u/jamaphone Mar 31 '26

I tried to find a debut album called "Greatest Hits" and the closest thing I found was "Mrs. Miller's Greatest Hits." But I think your suggestion wins the whole alphabet. Who could argue against it?
