For me I feel like reddit began declining when Victoria was fired in 2015.

I feel this way about lady gaga. Not really a fan of her but her voice is excellent

RiP.

I'm always amazed by Robert Plant when I watch old Zeppelin videos

"Every path is the right path. Everything could've been anything else. And it would have just as much meaning."

From the movie Mr. Nobody. It's a good thought provoking movie despite Jared Leto.

I love both Chicago style and Detroit style and they are not the same thing. Detroit style has a lot of breadiness to the crust where Chicago is like a denser crust. And detroit is typically rectangular with toppings all the way to the edge. There isn't really a proper crust to grab.

I've had Buddy's pizza when visiting the Detroit area and I thought it was really good.

I have a Jet's near me and it's one my favorites to get takeout from.

I'm not going to fault anyone for saying that because that is also an excellent album.

I completely agree however it might not be my favorite of theirs. I might like The Lonesome Crowded West even more.

Yesterday - Atmosphere

Here's some alternative hip hop that might make you cry

Did someone say bluegrass Radiohead covers? Chris Thile/The Punch Brothers have you covered. Here's a few selections. They have more if you dive into youtube.

2+2=5

Paranoid Android

Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Box

Enjoying my Sunday morning coffee with Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation!

Thanks to Polydextrous@lemmy.world for reminding me of this awesome album!

There's so much I want to mention but I've managed to narrow it down to a few things.

My dad is a big fan of Yes so here's a track that I heard a lot when I was a kid and still love today.

Roundabout - Yes

As an adult I've made some effort to dig into the stuff I missed out on from previous decades. I recently "discovered" Lou Reed and love everything he's done.

Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed

And finally I want to bring up Brian Eno's contributions to ambient music. No specific track but I love his albums Another Green World and Music for Airports.

I'm going to talk about some serious stuff here so move along if you were trying to keep things light today.

Scott Hutchinson from Frightened Rabbit died by suicide in 2018. Throughout his music Scott often talked about anxiety and depression and suicide. I highly recommend Frightened Rabbits 2008 album The Midnight Organ Fight. I want to link every song from that album but I'll limit it to just 3.

The Modern Leper - Frightened Rabbit

In this song he compares anxiety and depression to leprosy and asks the question to his significant other why would you love a modern leper? Are you a masochist?

Scott often said that he openly wrote and sang about his illness hoping that it would help someone else.

Head Rolls Off - Frightened Rabbit

In this song you'll hear the lyrics "when my blood stops someone else's will not" and "while I'm alive I'll make tiny changes to Earth" indicating his desire to help others by sharing his feelings and his pain.

Floating in the Forth - Frightened Rabbit

In this song you'll hear him ask the question "is there peace beneath the roar of the Forth road bridge?" and then make the somewhat hopeful statement "I think I'll save suicide for another year."

His body was found near the shores beneath the Forth road bridge near Edinburgh. Making this song so much more powerful knowing that he predetermined his death more than 10 years in advance and those thoughts were constantly with him.

Phil Elverum from The Microphones and Mount Eerie lost his wife to cancer and then wrote an album about it called A Crow Looked at Me. It is absolutely heartbreaking. Here's the opener from the album.

Real Death - Mount Eerie

I think you're right about them falling off around 97 or so. But I think American Idiot in 2004 was considered a comeback for them. Sure they became more mainstream with some of those singles but like said in the daily challenge thread I was 12 and they were awesome to me at the time.

I had no idea their two best albums were produced by Danger Mouse. Very cool.

My favorite track is probably Little Black Submarine.

Their 2013 album If You Leave is excellent too. Shares the track Youth with the EP you posted.

I think i've listened to most of these and some of my favorites on this list are Lankum, Wednesday, Young Fathers, and billy woods.

FYI I see a typo on the short list. Frankie and the Witch Fingers. (Awesome band by the way)

Danny Nedelko - IDLES

Idles is some high energy fun that's always good to crank up.

bmbmbm - black midi

This is black midi's noisiest and most non-sensical song but I can't help myself when this one comes on.

For those who don't know this is Lingua Ignota. I guess she's releasing her next album under a new name.

Ooo good question. Here's a few that came to mind.

Pink Floyd - The Wall

The Decemberists - Hazards of Love

Andy Shauf - Neon Skyline

The Dear Hunter - Act I through Act V (5 albums)

Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy

Deltron 3030

It's my turn to post an R.E.M song! Also not a duet but that's okay.

When I was a kid my sister bet me that I couldn't memorize all the lyrics to this song... I proved her wrong! And I still remember most of it!

🎶 It's the end of the world as we know it! 🎶

Great song and great band! However Wincing the Night Away is probably their album that I listen to the most.

The Dear Hunter is awesome. Acts I - III are my favorite but everything he does is great.

Lovely song. I've always liked this one by him.

Just a Habit - Low Roar

Small Hands - Keaton Henson

Keaton Henson makes some beautiful somber music

So I was born in 92 and some of my early music exposure was the 90s alternative and pop music my older sisters were into. One CD that my sister would play a lot was Everclear's So Much For the Afterglow. I always liked the title track because of the choral intro transition into the punk sound.

So Much for the Afterglow - Everclear

And then I was 12 when Green Day's American Idiot came out so I was really into that for a while. My favorite track being the 9 minute epic Jesus of Suburbia.

Jesus of Suburbia - Green Day

Very cool. I love the driving bass line on this

My Backwards Walk - Frightened Rabbit

Poke - Frightened Rabbit

The album these songs are from is basically about a relationship that you just can't get over.

I always like Kurt Vile on a long drive.

Wakin on a Pretty Day - Kurt Vile

At least you can edit the title! Unlike that other place

Here's two with the color pink! First from one of my favorite bands.

Pink Rabbits - The National

Second one is probably not considered alternative but whatever I like it because it's basically an Andre 3000 song.

Pink Matter - Frank Ocean (feat Andre 3000)

Both of these new songs are really good but I especially love the ending on Space Invaders

The first thing that came to mind is

15 Step - Radiohead

A couple others that came to mind that people might not know.

5 years time - Noah and the Whale

1878 - The Dear Hunter

Thirteen Hours - Andy Shauf

Yeah I thought the whole thing was good. The song Daffodil stood out to me most. I dig that sort of experimentation

I'm enjoying this one. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for posting! Here are the releases I'm most excited to check out.

Aphex Twin - Blackbox Life Recorder 21f/in a Room7 F760 (EP)

The Clientele - I Am Not There Anymore

EarthGang - EarthGang vs the Algorithm: RIP Human Art EP

Jessy Lanza - Love Hallucination
