Thursday, House Of Balloons, The Knowing, The Party And The After Party, Next, Same Old Song, Love Through Her, Lonely Star, What You Need, High For This, The Morning, Initation, Outside, The Fall

He has a lot of bangers. That Trilogy he dropped in 2011 has most of his best material. You might wanna hop on that.

Go download

House Of Balloons, Thursday And Echoes Of Silence.

Abel's that nikka.

Honestly, you'd be better off just welcoming XO in your everyday life by listening to his entire discography. Listening to his material in a manner that's segmented by individual songs is doing a disservice to yourself. Weeknd is truly in rarefied air when it comes to amassing both quality to go along with his quantity.


Nevertheless, here are my top 10 favorites In no particular order sans the first track

1. "The Party & After Party" (My favorite Weeknd song)
2. "Loft Music"
3. "Enemy"
4. "Love in the Sky"
5. "Gone"
6. "XO"
7. "Kissland"
8. "The Birds pt 2."
9. "What You Need" (OG version)
10. "Coming Down"

I hope you do the right thing by the young Gawd and give all of his stuff a listen. Abel really has the Midas Touch. Trust me :blessed:.

Was it just me or did you hate how the remastered songs sounded on Trilogy? I hated the Wicked Games on that shyt. The mixtape versions have that gritty feel to it.

Nah, not all the songs sounded better on the OG mixtapes. For example, I never knew how funneled the OG version of "Lonely Star" was until I heard it remastered - I could actually make out what the girl was saying at the end when it was re-released. Same with the song "XO" where I didn't even realize he was saying "XOOOOOOOOOOO" on the hook until I heard it remastered. Some songs I prefer from the OG tapes, and some I like on The Trilogy, which is why I have them all on my ipod.

Not even the short version?



This song was my introduction to him. I remember hearing "I got a girl who likes girls......... & she'll make you like girls" & thinking to myself that this nikka is on some other shyt. I better go check out his album (HOB) :lupe:.

One of the best musical decisions I've ever made :blessed:.

I haven't liked any of the new shyt he's put out since his last album, so I can't recommend any of his recent stuff.
His last album Kissland was pretty good, so if you can get that, listen to it.
The entire mixtape trilogy was dope, though.
You should DL them and listen to them in the order they dropped.
HoB ----> Thursday ---> Echoes of Silence.
These two are my favorite Weeknd tracks, but it changes for me depending on the mood.
