The band is well-known for their remarkable and lengthy list of chart-topping hits such as <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/3TahdwXB4gJRWVAI00Ejqa?si=af8ebc55ec5e4b9e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>“Moves Like Jagger,”</u></strong></a> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/4llK75pXNWZz6KAho2Gp16?si=6b9360f47d0d47e4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>“She Will Be Loved,”</u></strong></a> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/5d6Mjuu2uCGRPYpFjGpCX5?si=b068b081af3841f9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>“Sugar,”</u></strong></a> and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/5d6Mjuu2uCGRPYpFjGpCX5?si=465f88e4e9304c14" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>“Payphone,”</u></strong></a> among others.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Throughout over three decades, <strong>Maroon 5</strong> has transformed into global music icons, celebrated for their unique sound that combines elements of pop, rock, and R&amp;B. They are considered one of the most enduring artists in pop music and one of the biggest acts of the 21st century.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Their music isn&#x27;t exactly life-changing or enriching, but that&#x27;s not the point of a <strong>Maroon 5</strong> concert. It&#x27;s not for people looking for substance on their music, and certainly not the 400 people who go to those rock joints pretending their friends&#x27; bands are going to change the world. It&#x27;s for those people who think that music&#x27;s sole purpose is to be the soundtrack of their daily commutes and gym workouts; and people who love going to those Tupperware and Orocan parties in BGC nightclubs that serve ridiculously overpriced alcohol and address everybody as &quot;dude, pare...&quot; and punctuate their flimsy opinions with &quot;<em>Fir meh lang pareh ha</em>....&quot; However, they&#x27;re a more entertaining, more versatile and less pretentious alternative to the Nickelbacks and Imagine Dragons of the world. Maroon 5 is a band of consummate live performers, there&#x27;s a lot of entertainment to be had in a Maroon 5 concert experience, like riding an incredible, exhilarating Disneyland ride, or ging to those beautiful scenic places that the Tourism Board of the Philippines and the Department of Tourism love to promote.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Without further ado, here are our <strong>Top 12 Maroon 5 </strong>picks:</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><div style="text-align:justify"><strong>12). Makes Me Wonder (2007)</strong></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sAebYQgy4n4?si=R48MJ8od53b_hyW9" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p style="text-align:justify">A funky upbeat number that truly kicks butt. <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/3PNOYDruQplC92lNc7mE9W?si=1d08d8b306e04c86" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>“Makes Me Wonder”</u></strong></a> sounds like it just burst out of a star-studded  stinker film, but then erupts with lyrics such as “<em>Give me something to believe in, because I don’t believe in you anymore</em>” and proves that you don’t need big, high-fallutin words to make strong points.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><div style="text-align:justify"><strong>11). Harder to Breathe (2002)</strong></div><div style="text-align:justify"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rV8NHsmVMPE?si=riuJJsNJDKucrm0n" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">The first single that got them airplay, back in an era when they still a funk-flavored pop-rock band. <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/4V9JDRqKjN8F2HWdlEDxvI?si=3d1a623fe1704537" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>&quot;Harder to Breathe&quot;</u></strong></a>, with its hard-hitting, tenacious precipitation and implementation, is reportedly said to be an annotation on the group&#x27;s exasperation with their previous record label, discussing the assertion they held that the label was suffocating them. The song could also be branded as a lament on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AdamLevine" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Levine</u></strong></a>&#x27;s lost love Jane (as in the Jane on the album’s title <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/5zClcGCSWj926AMjvBNSLc?si=eO0gb1EMT42bZnqKnOnSqw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em><u>Songs About Jane</u></em></strong></a>); &quot;<em>You drain me dry and make me wonder why I&#x27;m even here</em>,&quot; he laments. </p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><div style="text-align:justify"><strong>10). Sunday Morning (2002)</strong></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/S2Cti12XBw4?si=KzPz71SLNNpzcrMm" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>A timeless laidback classic displaying both <strong>Levine</strong>’s enormous vocal range and the band’s solid technical chops.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>9). One More Night (2012)</strong></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fwK7ggA3-bU?si=DrFBHu5eCe6PH7oM" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Maroon 5 stacks on the hard, synthetic drum loops, faux reggae loops, and high-end pop beats.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>8). This Love (2007)</strong></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XPpTgCho5ZA?si=YqWS07lkhkvzTJAa" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p style="text-align:justify">The breakthrough hit! &quot;This Love&quot; sashays in on the springiest synth drifts you&#x27;ll ever indulge in, intensified by the group&#x27;s shared sense of bravado. The resolve and character Maroon 5 radiates in this can&#x27;t be exaggerated. It&#x27;s honestly an exciting and pleasurable romp.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>7). Animals (2015)</strong></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qpgTC9MDx1o?si=S-qEGg2toe9xLfAj" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p style="text-align:justify">One of their most larger-than-life and catchiest choruses ever, it’s PG, less visceral, and severely watered-down take on <strong>Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”</strong> notwithstanding.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:justify"><strong>6). She Will Be Loved (2002)</strong></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nIjVuRTm-dc?si=_d2Z1IXhEO-d4kI0" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/4llK75pXNWZz6KAho2Gp16?si=170e59cffbde4f10" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>&quot;She Will Be Loved&quot;</u></strong></a> is a truly weird pop song with some bossa nova and yacht rock undertones with very gentle guitar work.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong><u>5). Sugar (2015)</u></strong></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/09R8_2nJtjg?si=6f6ubzfEWT4-AQZ6" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>4).
