PUP. Only band I've been listening to for the past few months. Some of the smartest pop-punk music to come out in a long time, if ever.

Guilt Trip - https://youtu.be/4gnntMvMgx4
Sleep in the Heat - https://youtu.be/aa3Afg3fzAQ <--- My favorite song from them. I cry every now and then listening to it.

I honest to God love Cherry Bomb, like I hated Tyler before that album

This is truly baffling to me. There's 3 songs on there that are tolerable to me. Maybe, as a sound engineer, the mixing/simple over limiting killed it for me. It seemed like a protest to conventional music, but came off as a lazy push of a knob to me.

Oh and OP! I forgot one

Alabama Shakes - Sound & Color

Honestly, it was like, "Hey that sounds good, ruin it by pushing that knob all the way up. Perfect, guy who gets paid to make shit sound good, that's ruined enough!"

It was his first project where I was like "I can dig it" like I did not like him before hand at all.

As for real hip hop, no better than MF DOOM, here is a deep cut choice not a lot of people I know like this album but I think it is amazing.
Take Me To Your Leader by King Geedorah

It's his second album and it is great, absolutely fantastic and uniquely DOOM. A lot of people have trouble nailing that second album but DOOM does it with his first album and his second(and his third, and pretty much anything he does). His work with KMD is legendary too, also check out Monsta Island Czars, Deltron 3030/Del The Funky Homosapien, and some De La Soul as well. But personally, I only really like DOOM when he is either himself, or MADVILLAIN. Which is actually more than just one person, which is a common thing amongst a lot of DOOM's work is that he does a lot of group stuff, working with other hip hop artists even on his own albums. He's truly a creative force, and honestly I'm glad to have him around.

I listen to a lot of classical, metal, rock n' roll, classic punk. Actual Punk, not that fake crap Green Day.

Gonna end tonight's listening with besada's post. I'll update the OP tomorrow with my thoughts on songs.

This has been cool so far listening to tracks and albums.

Westworld - Sweetwater Theme (Akshin Alizadeh Remix)

 

[Pancake Mix]

Queensryche - Take Hold Of The Flame

A few of my all-time favorites:

Emancipator - Kamakura

Koi Child - 1-5-9
NGHTMRE - Stronger (feat. A-F-R-O)
Magic City Hippies - Fanfare

You have a ton of listening to do, OP.

 

[Lotto]

I found last.fm's similar artists recommendations to be a pretty good way to discover new stuff. Look at your favorite artists, see what's similar and look up a few songs. If you don't like it, move on to the next one (although you might miss some gems if you don't give an artist's full album a listen.) These days I don't have as much time as I used to searching for music but the discoveries I made in high school were so, so, great. Now I'm more into letting youtube recommendations lead me down a rabbit hole or whatever crazy stuff my friend has to send me. Good luck, have fun OP.

 

[Frankenstrat]

Bonobo's Essential Mix

 

[pixelation]

They play hard rock music... some would call it metal, stoner rock... i only know they're awesome.

He is Legend - "No Visitors" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx7X8_fUTTg

 

[zorlaczerohero]

I listened to music growing up, but I feel I never music speak to me like I've heard others describe.

To me, the most important thing about music is the emotion it invokes whether negative or positive. I love everything form Punk to Hip Hop to Classical to Dance. As long as it makes me feel something I'm all good.

Try this, pure raw emotion with some cracking beats, you may recognise him from the Tom Hardy Taboo series if you're watching it.

 

[Xe4]

I've recently been listening to experimental hip hop/R&B, and I highly suggest Black Radio. Shit's great. You can find it on Spotify, and Apple Music.

Here's the title song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPe...7EYoAdsnPc-iJE&ab_channel=RobertGlasper-Topic

 

[Kevtones]

You should set some limits OP.




The Range - Metal Swing

 

[LaNaranja]

Here is a smorgasbord of good stuff. Miles Davis is particularly worth diving deep into because each of his albums are so different.

Hola Hoba Spirit - Al Caid Motorhead
The Kominas - Sharia Law in the USA
Bella Novela - The Archeress
Miles Davis - Human Nature
Regina Sparks - Don't Leave Me
TVXQ - Something
Gerardo Ortiz Ft. Calibre 50 - Culiacan Vs. Mazatlan
Chiquis - Completamente

 

[CountAntonius]

I saw these guys live many years ago. Had never heard of them and haven't heard from them since. This was a special show and I was just in a haze the entire time.

Seven Saturdays

 

[The God]

Greatest song you'll ever hear in your life op

Radiohead - Idioteque

 

[Spiritwalker]

I think you will enjoy this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9-M6lkKWyA

 

[Nightbird]

Lone Digger - Caravan Palace

Electro Swing is cool Genre, and i think this is one of the best songs to show it off

 

[hobblygobbly]

I'm also a big listener of post-rock/post-metal/shoegaze such as bands like Godspeed You! Black Emperor but I listen to a lot of black metal and its various subgenres (except the Nationalist Socialist subgenre since they're nazi fucks, thankfully a very small subgenre that doesn't infect the rest)

Here are some picks that I've been listening to lately this week in one of my playlists (none of these are "classical black metal" bands, perhaps with the exception of Abigor):

Wolves in the Throne Room
Moonlight Drowns (Been listening to this album so much this week!)
Batushka (&#1041;&#1072;&#1090;&#1102;&#1096;&#1082;&#1072 (great aesthetic and music video, saw them live a while back! They're awesome live)
Eldamar
Abigor
Summoning
Saor
Downfall of Nur
Der Rote Milan

Ghost Bath. This is a newish American black metal band that came about in last few years that I started listening to this week, it's more of the depressive subgenre of BM though, there are no lyrics but just "anguish" vocals (growls/screams), I like the instruments but I think the band has to grow on me. since I don't really like their approach to the lyrical substitute. Was recommended by a friend who absolutely loves them. Their sort of style of depressive BM is a lot different from say the atmospheric Saor or Eldamar above for example.

 

[Popsickles]

Bastille are a good easy to listen to band. Imagine Dragons have a varying style and some Damn good songs.

 

[UrbanRats]

I like Sigur Ros and GSY!BE but that taste in music formed back in middle school and I guess it hasn't progressed since then. I got to see GSY!BE live about a year ago and that was awesome.

Since GY!BE are my favorite band, i'll suggest some stuff i like for similar vibes.

Of course i'd start with other Constellation Records stuff, for example Thee Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra has several of the band members from GY!BE, and shares similar sounds, in many of the their songs.

Then if you like that "epic sounding" type of build up, i'd listen to Swans, following the "Post-Rock" side of this guide, and Post Punk too, as it has many "sweeter" songs you may like a lot:

Start with Soundtrack for the Blind, "The Sound" is particularly GY!BE sounding (not on Youtube, unfortunately).
-
Some other "random recommendations" in that ballpark:

Talk Talk.
Mogwai.
Set Fire to Flames.
Current 93.
Barn Owl.
Earth.
Grails.
Do Make Say Think.

The problem i have with Post Rock is that a lot of stuff like Mono, or God is an Astronaut sounds same-y to me, but you may like that.

Personally i like to go into Krautrock too, it's more lively, but still maintains that sense of openness and grandeur to it.

La Dusseldorf
Neu!
Faust

And then of course IF you like epic sounding stuff, look no further than Siinai's Olympic Games.

 

[GYODX]

S - Save you

 

[singhr1]

Lone Digger - Caravan Palace

Absolutely. Caravan Palace is fantastic and fun

 

[BubbaMc]

Some great recommendations here. If at all possible though, don't use YouTube for serious listening - it can suck really the life out of music. I'd recommend a free trial of a music subscription service as a starting point, and a half decent set of earphones/headphones.

Here's some more recommendations off the top of my head in no particular order:

BT - These Hopeful Machines
Hans Zimmer - The Dark Knight OST, Inception OST, Interstellar OST
Harry Gregson-Williams - Unstoppable OST, Metal Gear Solid 2/3/4 OST
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Radiohead - OK Computer
Tool - Lateralus
Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase.
Buckethead - Electric Tears, Colma
Pearl Jam - Ten
Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn
Mozart - Piano Sonatas
Anything by Chopin or Debussy

Lana Del Rey

Check out Ultraviolence album and Honeymoon album.

Love her.

 

[gnomed]

J Dilla - The Last Donut
Joe Strummer - Johnny Appleseed
Baroness -March to the Sea
Debarge -Rhythm of the Night
