Songs About Jane (Maroon 5)

One of the best debut albums of the 21st century. Before they became a symbol of modern Muzak, Maroon 5 had, for a moment, a unique sound and feel. It came out in a seminal period for millennials post-9/11 but before the rise of the countercultural and patriotic responses; Certainly before the excess and lavishness of pre-2008 financial crash culture.

Bossa nova. Jazz. Soul. Pop. Rock. It has it all. "Harder to Breath", "She Will Be Loved", "The Sun", "Sunday Morning", "Sweetest Goodbye". There's more variety in those songs than some artists have in multiple albums.
