10 Biggest Drop-offs In Rock History

10. The 1975

It really hurts to put one of the most defining artists of the modern age of pop rock on a list like this. Back in 2013, hearing the 1975's debut for the first time felt so fresh, albeit with their own sense of retro throwback and synth heavy sound on songs like Chocolate and Sex. Once they got that taste of fame, it seemed that they found more time to screw around than give us actual good songs.

Despite the obvious Radiohead pastiches going on on the album A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships, you could tell that the guys were really starting to expand upon their sound and capture moments of emotion on songs like Sincerity is Scary. As the rollout for Notes on a Conditional Form kept coming in though, the track list kept expanding...and expanding...and expanding so far it was nearly a mile before the record even came out.

Outside of some genuine highlights like Me and You Together Song and Guys, Notes on a Conditional Form is both everything right and wrong about the 1975 in one album, with great songs that have virtually no flow due to the massive amount of interlude tracks. It's possible for the lads to make a comeback of sorts, but given how many artists are beating them at their own game, they have got their work cut out for them.
