Fun
Fun were a New York trio who turned big feelings into even bigger choruses. Their sound mixed folk and indie pop with theatrical flair, and for a stretch in the early 2010s they were everywhere, thanks to "We Are Young" and "Some Nights," two singles that felt like anthems the moment they arrived.

Some Nights (2012). This is the record that made them famous, and it still sounds huge. "We Are Young," "Some Nights," and "Carry On" are all here, each one built for singing along at the top of your lungs.
