+1 for Sleep Token. Amazing band, love their latest album TMBtE.
I just discovered them recently on a spotify suggestion. So glad. Sometimes things just work out. It’s a numbers game. I’ve probably turned away 95% of what spotify recommends. I’ve had premium for a decade and the discover weekly playlist is still hit or miss. Sometimes I see a pattern, like every other week there may be a good song.
Plenty or great bands there!
Playlist generated, thanks.
Dang I only really recognize Sleep Token, Soen, and Persefone from this list. All S-tier bands, I’ll have to check out the rest.
Pardon my ignorance. What is S-tier bands?
I meant S-tier as in ranking. If you look at tier lists on the internet, they will often rank things using letters. I was basically just saying that I consider them to be bands of the highest tier, I’ve attached a link to show you what I mean.
When I was a pre-teen and teenager, pop-punk and emo were popular.
Turns out I haven’t outgrown this genre. I now listen to more music from a variety of different genres and time periods, but ultimately, 80% of my library is still early 2000’s pop punk.
Hey, you may like us over at !popheads@poptalk.scrubbles.tech
That community looks like it has literally nothing to do with emo or pop-punk
Yeah I though I was gonna outgrow metal.
Boy was I wrong.
I graduated to progressive metal at some point, and I don’t think I’ll leave any time soon.
That’s where I started and ended up staying alllll of these years 😁
Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Neil Young, Beck, Prince
I’d say I used to listen to metal, but nowadays, I still listen to metal lol. Huge fan of Progressive Metal/Djent/Thall bands. Not much into Deathcore/Doom Metal lately however.
At work tho, I tend to listen to a lot of instrumental stuff and genres vary greatly: mathrock, jazz, electronic, game/movie OSTs, blues, fusion, and among others.
During drives, mainly depends on the mood, but mostly revolves around the above given genres.
To name a few artists, I usually listen to the below (in random order):
- Jakub Zytecki
- Chon
- Plini
- Periphery
- Necrophagist (when r u guys coming back 😔)
- Dirty Loops
- Up Dharma Down
- Joji
- Tycho
- Sleep Token
- Lorna Shore
- Tom Misch
Would love to share some more, but these are what I thought of at the moment.
Woah, I’ve actually been to a Chon show. Totally didn’t expect to see that band pop up in this thread
Lucky! How were they upfront? I’ve only seen their live shows on YouTube.
They were great. I think it was around 2015-2016, and I still have a Chon pin from the show too!
Ever listen to the ocean?
I just learned about the circles people run in at metal shows.
Classical
Somehow I missed all the good 2000s emo music, but love it now.
On my peak-emo list:
The Rocking Horse Winner - State of Feeling Concentration (still so, so good, really)
Dashboard Confessional - The Swiss Army Romance
Further Seems Forever - The Moon Is DownHave you listened to Spitalfield? If not the album remember right now by them from 2002 is well worth a listen.
I’ll check it out. Thanks!
“Those Days You Felt Alive” was a good song.
I am listening the to The Wonder Years’ full discography and man, they just don’t miss for me.
I’ve kinda got all my eggs in different baskets but mostly I listen to pop punk, alternative, and some classic rock
Mostly extreme metal, moreso since going back to college, but I also like post-rock, shoegaze, and classical amongst other things. Try this out for size.
The band Sleep Token has been a majority of my played music for over a month now, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. I mostly listen to stuff like Metalcore, Deathcore, Djent, Nu Metal, Prog, Instrumental, I love metal covers of pop songs. Also like hard dance, dubstep, DnB, some pop, some rap, most anything as long as it isn’t tasteless.
Sleep Token. Discovered it recently too. Man that guy can SING! Love it. Chokehold is great.
Mostly rock. Specifically love 80s hair metal and hard rock, and prog rock/metal. Lately I’ve had Sleep Token albums on constant rotation.
Last four concerts were Erykah Badu, Blood Red Shoes, Marcy Playground and Tears for Fears. They were all amazing and you can’t really go wrong with any album from any of them.
speedcore, artcore, jcore, vocaloid
Is vocalcore a thing? I bet you’d love it.
I almost exclusively listen to video game music. I’ve been listening to a lot of music from Pokemon Black and White lately.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
The PetroDragronic Apocalypse is one of the best records I’ve heard in some time, from any band, in any genre.
I can’t stop listening to it. To add, I’m not really a fan of any of their other records. They’re clearly good, just doesn’t resonate with me as much as this one does.
Moooottorr…
…Spiiiriiiit……
