• Special Edition Show

John Clayton Mayer is many things: a style icon, a late-night-Instagram talk show host, a reformed provocateur, a thinker. But before all of that, Mayer is a musician, and a damn good one at that. Mayer's ability to articulate the human feeling is only trumped by his status as one of the greatest guitar players of his generation. Not convinced on that last point? Listen to him go to work toward the end 'Gravity' from his live album Where the Light Is: Live in LA, wipe the tears away, and tell me I'm not right.Since his 2001 debut with Room for Squares, Mayer has produced seven studio albums.

If you grew up listening to Mayer, you've listened to him growing up through his music as well. That lovesick boy on Squares has become a man with an innate ability to articulate questions about the world we live in—which we hear in his latest single, 'I Guess I Just Feel Like.' From my extremely subjective point of view, Mayer has really only ever made one bad song.

It's called 'Say,' and you can hear it faintly playing at your local chain restaurant, department store, or in an elevator.Here's how his seven studio albums stack up against each other.
