Revamping my playlist - lemmels, give me all your suggestions!

Wild Bill@midwest.social to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 46 points –

Edit: THANK YOU ALL! I am taking all recommendations into consideration and will be giving them a listen sometime. I was a little overwhelmed hence my lack of response, but I greatly appreciate what you’ve written. (-:

Yes, this is a “suggest me songs” post. Only because I don’t know which other community is more appropriate.

I’m looking to revamp my main playlist and clean out songs I don’t revisit all that often. I was hoping you all could suggest some songs OR albums based on my current taste. The other reason I make this post is because I fear I’ll go my entire life without hearing fantastically underrated albums, and I know lemmists to have taste.

That being said, here are some of my favourite artists and albums:

  • Lana Del Rey
  • Marina and the Diamonds
  • The Bravery
  • “Disintegration” by The Cure
  • Foreign Air
  • Saint Motel
  • “How to be a Human Being” by Glass Animals
  • Garbage
  • Madonna, especially the albums prior to the 00s
  • Palaye Royale
  • Vendredi sur Mer

I am additionally looking for artists similar to Crystal Castles, Com Truise, and Cults. Anything indie / electro / disco / jazz / poprock / pop-punk is welcome. Honestly, y’all don’t even have to take into consideration what I’ve just listed. Just give me the best you’ve got! Cheers. (:

Other stuff (fromat; artist - song):

  • Poets of the fall - Carnival of rust

  • Viagra boys - Punk rock loser

  • Pierce the veil - King for a day (or check March into water)

  • Get scared - Sarcasm

  • Grim salvo - Black rainbow (one of the best songs, could be better if it didnt address women in a bad way twice..)

  • Ashnikko

  • Melanie Martinez

  • Dove cameron - boyfriend

  • D4vd - Worthless

  • Paris Paloma - Labour

  • Falling in reverse - Popular monster OR Voices in my head OR Watch the world burn (beware; the singer is a rather bad person in my opinion, among others I think he also is a trabsphobe... such a shame cuz they make really good songs..)

  • Sabaton (power metal mainly about military history, they seem to be cool guys)

  • NF (rapper) - Clouds/Search/Hope

  • Crown the empire - Superstar

  • Jhariah - Pressure Bomb 3???/Bad luck!/Knvives are dangerous, so kid cut the theatrics

I'd recomment checking listen brainz' tools, like this one https://listenbrainz.org/explore/music-neighborhood/ which shows relative artists. Or make an account there (beware; it publicly shows your listents with an accuracy of a minute, not just a day). It nice becase you can also find people with similar tastes.

Have fun exploring!

You could try "Used to the darkness" by Des Rocs. If you like it I'll see if I have other songs.

I guess whether or not they’re underrated depends on where you are, because IME Americans usually don’t know who they are but Europeans do, even though they’re an American band; but anyway Scissor Sisters is great if you haven’t checked them out. Their last album (Magic Hour) is their weakest IMO, but it still has some good songs.

I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ is pretty representative of their upbeat songs, and Return to Oz for their slower songs.

They are so good, and I do think underappreciated. I Don't Feel Like Dancin' is one of the very few songs that I will always listen with the video on.

We have some similar tastes. I think you'll like:

Borns

Florence and the Machine

Lorde's 2021 album Solar Power

Spoon

Billy Raffoul

Hozier

Bishop Briggs

Do you like ... St. Vincent The National Neutral Milk Hotel Dinosaur Jr. Spoon Wilco Echo and the Bunnymen Some of that's pretty old, but so am I.

Your taste is a lot different than mine, but check out "Free" by Florence + the Machine and see if you like it.

One song that recently has been putting me into a very good mood every time I put it on is "Read my mind" by the Killers.

Vundabar is one my favorite indie bands. I love their new stuff, but I'd give the album Gawk a try first.

You would probably enjoy Alexandra Savior, The Last Dinner Party, and Roisin Murphy.

You're going to regret asking me this.

I've been listening to a ridiculous variety of music over the last few years; let me dig up some particular favourites. Total mixed bag and in no particular order, you get what you get. Probably some serious misses, but who knows what it'll stir up in the algorithm :)

... okay, that should keep you going for a while :)

  • "Worry" by Jack Garratt

  • "The Business of Emotion (feat. White Sea)" by Big Data

  • "In My Head" by Peter Manos

  • "Nancy Boy" by Placebo

  • "Daylight" by David Kushner

  • "Heroin" by Badflower

  • "Hell Is Around The Corner" by Tricky

  • "Good Luck" by Broken Bells

  • "Cellophane" by FKA Twigs

This is some of the stuff I've been listening to pretty consistently over the last year or so. I am excited to listen to everyone else's suggestions because I need new tunes

Jungle - Volcano (the whole album)

Oh I have a few playlists you may like to poke through. Feel free to also save these, I don't mind sharing.

Indie Sadgirl Vibes (moody folk/indie/pop)

Kodak Daydreams (chill shoegaze/dreampop)

I Hate Goth (~15hr goth/industrial/synthpop megamix)

I prefer to recommend artists over songs or albums. Based on what you mentioned, I think you'd like Sevdaliza, The Pretty Reckless, Visions of Trees, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Elita, The Polish Ambassador, Collide

Written by Wolves - Goddess Bad omens - death of peace of mind Nothing more

Edit: CHVRCHES

Linda Perhacs, e.g. "Hey, Who Really Cares?"

The Joy Formidable, e.g. "The Ever-Changing Spectrum Of A Lie."

Bjork, e.g. "Bachelorette" or "Immature." Really anything from Homogenic.

This Town Needs Guns, e.g. "26 Is Dancier Than 4."

My Morning Jacket, e.g. "It Beats For You."

Of Montreal, e.g. "It's Different For Girls."

The Moody Blues, e.g. "Your Wildest Dreams." They had four decades of killer songs with no flawless album.

Supertramp, e.g. "The Logical Song."

Animal Collective, e.g. "Did You See The Words."

Jimmy Eat World, e.g. "Believe In What You Want." Clarity is the best album that ever got a band kicked off their label.

We Were Promised Jetpacks, e.g. "Conductor."

Band Of Horses, e.g. "Blue Beard."

  • Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
  • Susumu Yokata - Symbol
  • Wardruna - Runaljod (Gap Var Ginnunga) and Runaljod (Yggdrasil)

Rubblebucket, indie dance music from Vermont. Definitely go see them live next time they tour.

Should probably put some MGMT on there.

Such good suggestions already. I am going to go in another direction - I like all the stuff you do, here are some artists from different genres not in your list, that I think you would like:

Durand Jones and the Indications

Leon Bridges

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

Fiona Apple, my kids are obsessed with her lately and it kind of opened my eyes to how good she really is.

And in the genres you do already love, Gossip (I am loving the new album) and Perfume Genius.

  • Stuck - Thirty Seconds to Mars
  • Cough Syrup - Young The Giant
  • Changes - Empire of the Sun
  • American Money - BØRNS
  • I just Wanna Shine - Fitz and the Tantrums
  • Talk Too Much - COIN

Also the "you can crash my car tonight" song from Coin. They are such simple music but just delightful.

It's only tangentially related to your picks, but I believe you might enjoy America Football (LP 1 in particular). Try them out :)
