I'm watching "The real reason algorithms are bad for art" by Digging the greats and can't remember the last time I asked real humans for recommendations for music. At one point, he is going around asking people of artists/albums that they recommend. I thought that was a cool idea. Then I thought, what if I asked lemmy/mastodon/ect and see what you all recommend?

Who is your favorite artist and what song/album would you recommend?

I'm looking to expand my horizons a bit.

I'll start.

There's a local band called the red coats. I think they only have one album. I can't find a Bandcamp link but their music is here should you like to hear them. My wife and I saw them live at tiny little shops.

I don't know if I can pick a favorite artist, my tastes are too varied. There's a ton of good suggestions in this thread, so a couple album recommendations I have that I don't see are:

Mannheim Steamroller - Fresh Aire II

Rheostatics - Melville

[–] circledsquare@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Rammstein - Mutter - Spieluhr

Chopin - Nocturne in B flat minor, Op. 9 № 1

REM - Monster - Bang and Blame

Jon Lajoie - You Want Some of This? - Show Me Your Genitals

Pearl Jam - Yield - Push Me Pull Me

Lindemann - Frau und Mann - Knebel

Ария - Химера - Вампир

Gamma Ray - Power Plant - Empress

Kurban - İnsanlar - Yine

Crowded House - Together Alone - Nails in my Feet


If someone couldn't find at least one song on that list that they like, I'd be very surprised.

I've only ever heard one of those songs, but I like it (Bang and Blame)!

[–] clark@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

One of the few bands that have stuck with me for years, I give you Foreign Air. I recommend their album Hello Sunshine, most of them are bangers. My favourite songs include Your Touch and Hello Sunshine Pt 2.

Neko Case in either her solo career or with The New Pornographers. The voice of God with red hair. I would listen to Brill Bruisers by TNP or Middle Cyclone by Neko..

Country Curious by Lola Kirke

Suffer in Heaven by Chelsea Grin

Hard Groove by The RH Factor

Empress Rising by Monolord

Old RockHounds Never Die by Odetta Hartman

Barefoot Surrender by Barefoot Surrender

Yours Until the War is Over by Amigo the Devil

Science Fiction by Church of the Cosmic Skull

Bilo IV by David Maxim Micic

Here are some of my favorites in no particular order from no particular genre that aren't generally well known as far as I am aware. I hope you enjoy some of them!

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Dire Straights, On Every Street.

[–] chrstph@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska

Picking a favorite artist is hard, but I recently got a CD for the For Squirrels album Example a few days ago. Absolutely in love with it, every single song on it. Especially the CD version of Mighty K.C., which feels like an extended version of what plays during the official music video on yt.

Can't say who's my favorite, but they're definitely up there.
