hello everyone
I want to explore more musicians and dive deep into their art.
let me know of your favorite musicians or their songs

Naddarobo · Post by **Naddarobo** » Fri Mar 29, 2024 5:39 pm

I have waited years for someone to ask me that question (btw I think there's already a thread about this tho)
Rammstein - metal - <5% explicit - desc: German metal band
Sublime - ska?* - ~20% explicit - desc: chill
Pucifer - metal - >50% explicit - desc made by Maynard James Keenan, very good
Tool - metal - ~20% explicit - desc: same singer, slightly less explicit
Johnny cash - country - 0-1% explicit - desc: THE country man
Ween - EVERYTHING - 25% explicit - desc: weird (not shit, just brown)
Primus - Alt rock - 1-5% explicit - desc: like ween, but less explicit
Bob Bernard - jazz - 0% explicit - desc: jazz
*(I don't know what sublime falls into, might be wrong about ska)
that's all i can think of right now

Relatable. Also, even if it exists already who would know? Nobody posts in Art anyway lmao

re:your music

Most of that stuff isn't familiar, sadly

But, I've heard exactly two songs from Mr. Cash:
1. Hurt (godliest cover ever)
2. Ring of Fire (also pretty good)

Here's a full list of all the music in my playlists:

I don't listen to all these songs equally, so some might not reflect my current taste
(warning large spoiler ahead. click at your own risk)
Formatting goes like this: "Name of Song (Artist/Producer) Runtime"

Spoiler:

Also, no I didn't write this all out. I already had this written down in a big document I have to keep track of how I spend my time (anyone else do this?).
These are also originally part of youtube playlists but I'm not sharing those for two reasons:

1. They have cringy titles
2. They are attached to my YT account which uses my real name. you could probably find it if you looked through all my previous posts, but thats weird so dont do that lol

Indentated songs without runtimes are part of a larger video with multiple songs.
I can link a vid directly if u have trouble finding it (like that one without a name or artist, it's a real vid tho not a typo on my part)

This list is always growing BTW, cause whenever I find new music I like I put it in there

Tool is an all time favorite of mine, especially the album Lateralus.

Alright I only skimmed froggo's list because it's a lot, but I'll come back and check out some of it later
First thing I saw was Kevin McLeod, haha, cool stuff, well known for royalty-free music used by various low-budget projects, love the guy
Heilung is good stuff
some of this I do know, TONS of stuff I haven't heard of, of course
I only know imagine dragons because of the show Arcane
should I watch Cyberpunk: Edgerunners? it's on my list

*****

Most of the time I just listen to background music while I work, something ambient or lofi girl on youtube. (Also "ADHD relief" music seems to help me focus. No, I don't have ADHD. At least I don't think I do. Maybe a little. Probably not. Shut up.)

But I do also listen with attention. Usually I prefer full albums, but I also pick individual songs sometimes.

I tried to find a few diverse examples:

Heal by Soap&Skin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ygzbBKvJiE
Winter Is Never by Gazpacho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a9jcdHCDb0
Helvegen by Wardruna, but I prefer this cover by Kalandra
What a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong, it probably has many good covers but I like this cover from Soap&Skin
Vajra by Secret Chiefs 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s33d1D6nVQ4
Splendor and Concealment by Human Bell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IBtRxVFcWA
Haqq al-Yaqin by Om https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-Pjwr7UrAY
Small by Portishead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7g5KcHkKXI
Falling by The Dawn of MAY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL8iYkQVVrU
Electric Red by Meshuggah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDNcLQ9qc1o
Bay of Skaill by The Magnetic North https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tb2Ebf0gYI
Bullets by Archive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6nbFZtxAL4
All Along The Watchtower by Bear McCreary (originally a Bob Dylan song, but this is the Battlestar Galactica version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BigolJfoANw
Spiders by System of a Down https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enQoWeKyVRM
Bring Me To Life by Evanescence (I kinda slept on this when I was a teen, but it's great lol) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YxaaGgTQYM
Planet Caravan by Black Sabbath https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvrOzYtnLMA
My Least Favorite Life by Lera Lynn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFh71_ftxLE
Where Is My Mind by Pixies, but I prefer this cover from Sunday Girl
Al'Naito from "The Wheel Of Time" soundtrack by Lorne Balfe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VekVXk1Wo0
Remember Me by Blue Boy (the vocals are from Marlena Shaw's Woman of the ghetto) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKKNPLowteY
In This Together (feat. Ellie Goulding) | Our Planet OST https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEoCTE92Kjs
Such a Remarkable Day by Charlotte Gainsbourg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf_hauBE3iw
The Lighthouse by Amon Tobin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug_oUSemAvg
Reverie / Harlequin Forest by Opeth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIo3lpXrc5A
Smuggled Mutation by Estradasphere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzYBR_lJqcs
whenever this guy plays the flute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dx64IeEQhM (Szokolay Dongó Balázs)

My latest great find is a band called "Knower": The Abyss, It's All Nothing Until It's Everything

I do happen to use the same username on bandcamp so you can check out my collection and wishlist there... although not all of that is amazing https://bandcamp.com/atomtengeralattjaro
Oh and I also have a last.fm, even though I don't use it much anymore (it doesn't track youtube/bandcamp/other streaming listens, or anything I listen to on a mp3 player): https://www.last.fm/user/atommalac and it has a "loved tracks" section that's also been a bit neglected but it has some good stuff.

ok I think that's enough for now

Fair, lol.
I'll check out your stuff! It seems really interesting :O

Absolutely. It's excellent, in my opinion.
Supremely stylish and a damn good story.
Be prepared to possibly cry, though. I don't remember exactly, but I think I either teared up or it even had me weeping.
Also, major explicit content warning (violence, nudity, bad language, etc) in case it's not obvious.
It's not super long, either, which is good in my opinion.

update on froggy's list:

I listened to the cranberries song, it does ring a bell, good one.

and I just noticed you have King Crimson on there, okay then! My faves from them are: "Level Five", "Eyes wide open", and of course "21st Century Schizoid Man".

And I wonder what is this: () 2:29 (the empty parentheses does make it look like a Sigur Rós album's title, I know it's not that, I just wanted to flex and I like that album).

Damn, Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" is fire, another one I must've heard before but probably only like once. Makes me think what if he just kept adding new verses to it as time passed, woah.

Used to listen to lots of Nirvana as a teen, never got into Foo Fighters for some reason. And I kept seeing Coldplay videos on MTV.

I didn't know For Sirens (Ensiferum), it's not bad, if you like this stuff, you might enjoy Amorphis.

Barns Courney is new to me, it's decent.

edit:
And update on naddarobo's list:
Primus is kinda fun, I used to listen to their albums Antipop and Green Naugahyde a lot

Naddarobo · Post by **Naddarobo** » Mon Apr 08, 2024 6:01 pm

Lil update to my list:
Cake - rock - desc: a smooth and fantastic hillbilly singing over groovy bass hooks
Tub Ring - ??? - desc: hard to describe, but good
That handsome devil - alt rock - desc: kinda edgy, but still good sometimes
Individual songs:
the moss: Cosmo Seldrake
A good song never dies: Saint motel
Ain't no rest for the wicked: Cage the elephant
Still here: portal soundtrack (also known as the portal radio song)

Froggychum wrote:I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME

I've only listened to "Nobody likes the opening band" and "Do it all the time". Good singer, very weird might delve deeper

atomgeneraljaro wrote:Antipop and Green Naugahyde

I liked Antipop, but I really couldn't get into Green Naugahyde
For Froggychum I recommend Cake
and Atomgeneraljaro I don't know what to recommend, maybe Mindless self indulgence? (I didn't like them but maybe you will)

Definitely! It's interesting, because the singer (RIP Dolores O'Riordan) actually uses a technique which resembles the weeping of mothers at their childrens' funerals (I think it's called crooning or maybe something else) which is what gives it such a resonant sound.

Mon Apr 08, 2024 4:19 pm
King Crimson

I'll check those songs out! I'd only heard of the 21st century schizoid man, but I like the band's sound from what I've heard.

() 2:29

An animated music video I found on YT without a title. People in the comments joke that it is unsearchable, which is kind of true.
Here, let me grab it:

Damn, Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" is fire, another one I must've heard before but probably only like once. Makes me think what if he just kept adding new verses to it as time passed, woah.

He also wrote Piano Man!

Actually, Fallout Boy recently released a '2020-version' of the song. IMO it's pretty bad, and rather arrogant of them to be so self-serious about basically writing a parody cover, so I hope they meant it as nothing more than a joke. People are really pissed off in the video comments, which is fair enough.

I say all that as a fan of Fallout Boy's music (I don't follow bands for personality, or whatever), but yeah, this was a weird thing to do.

Used to listen to lots of Nirvana as a teen, never got into Foo Fighters for some reason. And I kept seeing Coldplay videos on MTV.

Nirvana is really great. It's a bit later than my mom's generation (she was born in '62) but it reminds me of some of the stuff she likes. I think she also really likes Nirvana, actually.

It took me a while to 'get into' Foo Fighters. I still only like a couple of their songs. My main issue with the band is their lyrics are kind of repetitive and bland. The energy and sound are both pretty good, though.

Coldplay has a notoriously bad reputation. I think it's probably because they suffer from being over-played on the radio (like a lot of songs from Imagine Dragons). On their own merits, the worse you could say is that they are 'uninspired' but honestly I find them fairly good so idk

Ensiferum

I don't usually listen to metal, but I like that these guys have a mix of harsh and clean vocals. Gives them a less grating sound.
I'll check out Amorphis!

Barns Courney is new to me, it's decent.

Not a big country fan, but his music is pretty catchy and the edgy lyrics help me get my creative juices glowing.
Most of all, I really like his voice. Very deep and soothing.

---

From Naddarobo's list, I'll check out Tool and the alt-rock stuff. I'm always looking for alt rock songs, and with an album named 'Lateralus' they sound cool as hell lmao

---

Edit (Naddarobo posted b4 I could lol)

That handsome devil - alt rock - desc: kinda edgy, but still good sometimes

Sounds like the sort of thing I would adopt as a guilty pleasure LMAO

Individual songs:
the moss: Cosmo Seldrake
A good song never dies: Saint motel
Ain't no rest for the wicked: Cage the elephant

I'm somewhat familiar with Cage the Elephant.
I'll check out the other two, though!

I've only listened to "Nobody likes the opening band" and "Do it all the time". Good singer, very weird might delve deeper

Dallon Weekes is his name. He's got a great voice! He used to be part of Panic! At The Disco which I also like.
Some of their stuff is really weird, while some of it is less so. Here are all the songs from them I like (minus the two you've heard):
- Choke (cheery and violent, very fun)
- Bleed Magic (not sure how to describe this one. a bit weird, maybe?)
- Absinthe (as above)
- Leave Me Alone (weird lyrics, but a fairly straightforward message. It's pretty good IMO)
- New Invention (probably my least favorite. I've only listened to it a couple times but it gest tiring quickly)
- Clusterhug (a love song, I think? It's fine)
- From the Gallows (a dark love song. one of the weirdest ones)
- Need you Here (really beautiful. not my absolute favorite sound, but probably the best in terms of what it's trying to say)
- Sugar Pills (aaaand we 're back to weirdness. Good message though about drug use or smth)
- Mad IQs (sort of similar to Leave Me Alone. I like this one less, though)

For Froggychum I recommend Cake

Huh, if you say so. I'll give it a shot, maybe I'll be surprised lolol

that's a good list
I'll add this to the asdf playlist

Post by **Shai'tan** » Wed May 15, 2024 9:00 pm

Lots of music here, most of which I don't think I've heard before! Need to check it out.

Here's a list of things I've been listening to recently as well as a couple of my favourites.

Sleep Token - Take Me Back To Eden
Sleep Token - The Summoning (and more... honestly just the entire album, it's absolutely fantastic).
Architects - Animals (++ saw them live, was amazing)
Bad Omens - Just Pretend
Unprocessed - deadrose
Gojira - Another World (they were also great live)
The Pretty Reckless - Absolution
Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso (and now for something completely different! It's a bop though)
Miike Snow - Genghis Khan (so is this)
Rain City Drive - Talk to a friend
Caskets - Glass Heart
Ren - Chalk Outlines (though the live version is so good. So many Ren tracks I can recommend)
Junipe Vale - Fractions

And lots more, none of these are from my favourite growing up, which include but not limited to:
- Pink Floyd
- Genesis
- Supertramp
- Linkin Park
- Alan Walker (gotta support the Norwegians)
- Rammstein (biggest live concert I've been to, biggest one ever in Norway)
- Mystery Skulls
- Muse
- BabyMetal (also a great live concert)
- Dream Theater

Not to mention soundstracks from movies, anime, or games (stuff like Suzume, Dune, Frieren, Hollow Knight, Ori, and more) or Eurovision songs which was recently.

Froggychum · Post by **Froggychum** » Thu May 16, 2024 11:33 am

Adding these to my long list of 'stuff to listen to in the future'

BTW absolutely love Ren. Great music, and he seems like a real one with a clear message.
My favorite is his Money Game pt. 2 (I might actually be the weird one since I didn't find it through the memes)
Everything I've heard from him is good though. He definitely puts his soul into these songs.

The only thing I dislike about the music is that some of the videos have some long pauses and even spoken monologues in them. That's obviously intentional and done to great effect, but my ADHD ahh can barely cope lmao.

Post by **Shai'tan** » Thu May 16, 2024 9:29 pm

Completely agree. My cousin recommended him, what's the memes? But yeah, most of his songs have a clear message and isn't necessarily something you put on to have in the background.

Froggychum · Post by **Froggychum** » Thu May 16, 2024 10:03 pm

A part of the Money Game Pt. 2 song became famous when somebody made a video of Luigi (from some Mario game) gesticulating wildly at another Luigi with the track playing over. The video is called "Luigi Explains Capitalism" or something very close to that

IMO the reason it went viral is 'cause the rap section actually goes unreasonably hard. Anyway, the whole idea of the meme is pretty funny - though I suspect it's basically just an excuse from the meme creator to share a song they liked.

IIRC, Ren acknowledged the meme on Twitter and seemed positive about it.

I'm not nearly as into meme culture as I was back in high school. Probably a natural course of events, honestly, so hopefully I explained this well enough. I'm 21 years old and not ready to be called a boomer by teenagers yet, after all XD

Naddarobo · Post by **Naddarobo** » Mon May 20, 2024 2:38 pm

Jeff Besos is an open ttd player who wanted to play the game irl
Anyways, Getting back on topic:
I realize that my recommendation for Froggychum was COMPLETELY WRONG! I should've said tub ring, a Band that's very similar to IDKHBTFM. I recommend their latest album, A Choice Of Catastrophes. (you can trust me this time)
Speaking about IDKHBTFM, I listened to more of them, and some of their songs are very good. (some)

Naddarobo's alt-rock stuff

I kinda call everything alt rock if I don't know the exact genre (or if i can't bother to look it up) so take some of those with a grain of salt

Froggychum · Post by **Froggychum** » Mon May 20, 2024 9:11 pm

Every genre is just alt rock with extra steps XD

I actually have a shameful confession to make:
I haven't listened to any of this music yet. I'm sowwy

I definitely plan to - I have it written down in my big todo list! You can trust me (probably)

I know there's already plenty of links in this thread but I wanna make some more recommendations because why not, people can just randomly pick something.

Sólstafir - Fjara
Paradigm Shift - Khwabon Mein Teri
Karolina Cicha - Baqczalarda
Helga - Vast and Wild
Helga - Skogen mumlar
Marriages - Skin

and finally, actors Evan Rachel Wood and Angela Sarafyan make a pretty good team: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnDg65ISswg
