If you're still looking for things to try, do I have a list for you...
In general, if you really dislike Keiko's early-career shrillness, you'll probably want to avoid a lot of their pre-outernet material. There are many amazing songs from that period as well, but her singing can be quite a lot. If you're looking for albums to try, Lights is a great one to start with, that's how I went down the rabbit hole.
And now, a quite exhaustive list of globe songs I enjoy and would recommend, sorted by album:
Spoiler:
globe:
DEPARTURES (and the ARRIVAL version from one of their best-of albums is even better, imo)
Precious Memories
FREEDOM
FACES PLACES:
DEGENERATE
FACES PLACES
FACE
Anytime smokin' cigarette
Can't Stop Fallin' in Love
Guilty pleasure: Because I LOVE the NIGHT (it's so trashy, but catchy
)
Love again:
Love again
Wanderin' Destiny
Relation:
... honestly, it's been so long since I listened to this one (actual years) that I can't really name anything, my apologies
outernet (a very good album, highly recommended):
outernet
garden
angel's song
like a prayer
DON'T LOOK BACK (it's EPIC)
Rakuen no Uso
on the way to YOU
Lights:
EVERYTHING! ... okay, I'll also do the actual list
Many Classic Moments
Merry Go Round
genesis of next
Megami
try this shoot
Stop! In The Name Of Love
Lights brought the future
Lights2:
TRANSCONTINENTAL WAY (I hope you like epic trance instrumentals!)
OVER THE RAINBOW
Knockin' on the door of my heart
STARTING FROM HERE
liquid panorama
LEVEL 4:
out of control
get it on now
this is the last night
INSIDE
seize the light (!!!!!!!!!)
compass
globe2 pop/rock:
Love goes on!!
EXPECTATION
Asian night
goodBye NOW
Judgement
maniac:
Soldier
Why Why tell me Why
Tokyo to Iu Machi
Shine on you
new deal:
It's only five songs and they're all really enjoyable
Others:
winter comes around again (TK Mix)
They Fight Now
GDM Remix album
That should be enough for starters.
Check out the discography thread in the download section if you're looking for albums or some rare songs.
In other news, I'm ASTOUNDED at how good almost all the covers for the upcoming tribute album are sounding! Like, I really liked everything except AAA and lol so far, and there's still Miu Sakamoto, Mirei Touyama and Koda Kumi to look forward to! I was only mildly excited for the album before, but now I'm really looking forward to it. I don't even know which preview is my favourite so far: Kaela Kimura's FACES PLACES sounds really good so far, hitomi's Anytime smokin' cigarette is super cool and I can't wait to hear the rest, GReeeeN's FACE is really faithful to the original and I LOVE the original, HYDE's DEPARTURES sounds awesome, TRF's cover sounds epic (which I NEVER expected)... and I like Ayu's Many Classic Moments very much, but honestly, it tries too hard to match the original and so far it sounds like it just can't, despite Ayu doing her best Keiko impression, because the original is just magic. I honestly do like Ayu's version a lot so far, but the original >>>>>>>
