[edit] Non-album songs

There are a LOT of song lyrics which credit Maroon 5 as the performing artist from several lyrical sites that don't appear in any of their albums and singles, nor in any other album appearances. Should these songs be included in this article in a new section of "Unreleased songs"? I've added a list here of all songs which I'm not aware of any appearances in albums/singles.

The source is here: [1]

  • "A Lovely Day"
  • "Angel in Blue Jeans"
  • "As Things Collide"
  • "Control Myself"
  • "Hold On"
  • "If I Fell in Love with You"
  • "If You Only Knew"
  • "Miss You, Love You"
  • "My Ocean Blue"
  • "Simple Kind of Lovely"
  • "Take What You Want"
  • "That's Not Enough"

And more from another: [2]

  • "Captain Splendid"
  • "Future Kid"
  • "Loving the Small Time"
  • "Myself"
  • "Never Saga"
  • "Oliver"
  • "Pantry Queen"
  • "Sleepy Windbreaker"
  • "Soap Disco"
  • "To Her, with Love"

And still more:

  • "Come Talk with Me"
  • "Everyday Goodbyes"
  • "Funky"
  • "Good at Being Gone"
  • "It's U"
  • "The Fog"
  • "The Great Getaway"
  • "The Kid with the Velvet Eyes"

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. RaNdOm26 14:06, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Unless you can find out more information, I wouldn't include them. Those lyrics sites aren't the most reliable. I've encountered incorrect lyrics on several sites... who's to say they don't sometimes get the band wrong, too? Also, "Simple Kind of Lovely" is a cover they perform at some of their concerts because it's one of Adam's favorite songs. LaraLove 13:00, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Who is the original artist of "Simple Kind of Lovely", Lara? RaNdOm26 13:48, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
I sit corrected. It's not a cover. Research indicates that it was a song performed when they were Kara's Flowers. I'll have to look deeper into it. It was, according to one site (reliability under question), released on Songs About Jane re-release. LaraLove 21:29, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, whatever what kind of website it is, they've got it wrong, I think; the only new track on the re-release was "Ragdoll" — the rest of the tracks were remixes. RaNdOm26 13:12, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
This is the site that lists it under Songs About Jane. Other sites list them under "Unknown" and such. This is why I hate lyrics sites. If you can't trust them to get the lyrics right—their core purpose—how can you trust them to get anything else right!? LaraLove 14:04, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't. RaNdOm26 14:29, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Wonderful. Something else we agree on. :) LaraLove 14:36, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copy-edit

I'm not sure that the title sentence should call them pop-rock. I think it should match the article and use the most general genre (rock), but I'm not sure. LaraLove 12:23, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I didn't write that part of the introduction, I was unsure if I should scrap off the genre bit in the beginning, but I think it's better without the word 'pop'. RaNdOm26 12:27, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
I changed the wording in the title sentence as well from "comprehensive list" to "discography" because the featured lists I saw worded it as discography. However, in looking through more, I have found that there are a few that read "comprehensive list". Personally, I like the way it reads now as "discography", but if you like it better the other way, by all means, revert my change.
Otherwise, it looks pretty good. I think there are some issues with prose, but I can work on that later. If I can get the prose improved, we could go for featured, maybe. LaraLove 13:34, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
I admit myself that article writing is not my strongest attribute. By the way, I wanted to leave it as discography before, but then got influenced by how the other FLs prose read, so then switched it to that. Same thing with the "As of September 2007" bit. ...And I would love to have the list featured. :-) RaNdOm26 13:48, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not the best with prose myself. But I'm good at ripping off other articles in how they word things. :) I've been wanting to work to get something to featured. And I'm in need of a break from my regular "duties" here, so this may be a good outlet. LaraLove 21:30, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm also willing to work, hopefully, for my first featured material. Anyway, hope you can work on the prose...soon... RaNdOm26 13:12, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Points in the singles table

In the singles table, what exactly do these point values mean? Currently, all of them are unsourced. Why do some singles have point values and the others don't? Do we even need them to be in the table at all? RaNdOm26 09:25, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I was told by Pie85 that these points mean the CD and download sales of each of the singles, taken from the UWC. I guess this is informative and should definitely be kept. :)
Another note, the song "Take What You Want" stated it was produced in 2000, which pre-dates the band's formation (2001), so I removed it from the list. RaNdOm26 13:31, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FLC

Are you sure it's ready? I haven't done a final copy-edit. Lara❤Love 13:34, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes please, please copyedit. Where have you been??? RaNdOm26 13:47, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
I've been here. I just have a lot going on. I have a talk page, ya know. ;) I didn't realize you had this on the fast track. Lara❤Love 14:07, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Fast track? It's been five days! You know, you can do a lot of work and stuff within five days! ...Thank you for the editing; it was very nice. :) RaNdOm26 16:08, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
I have done a lot of editing in five days. Just not on this article. ;) I didn't consider the fact that it's a list, therefore basically only a lead to copy-edit. I'm used to working on artilces for these things, which takes weeks. Lara❤Love 16:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Sorry for the confusion with the colors. I did some studying to try to figure ways to improve it, found what I needed and then realized you'd removed all of it when I went to tweak it. So I'll just let you go with this one on however you want to do it. I decided to focus my attention on Fall Out Boy discography and I've now nominated it at FLC. Good luck. Lara❤Love 07:40, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

You kept the infobox with a color key that you're not using. It makes no sense. Very confusing. Lara❤Love 21:24, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for that. I understand what you mean. I simply changed them to the same colour scheme with the tables. I just don't like the list to have too many different colours. RaNdOm26 12:05, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Singles chart positions

Someone has fucked up most of the peak chart positions under Maroon 5's singles page. Would somebody put the correct positions there? <---Thanks---> --Crocodileman (talk) 04:42, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Huh? Your edit to change the positions in the United World Chart is wrong. Please clarify what is exactly wrong, and also please don't replace the numbers with the wrong info. RaNdOm26 (talk) 04:48, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
