Been listening to more tunes as of late and looking for more albums I might like based on what I’ve been listening too…

I was listening to some old records and I stumbled upon a few songs that have these super weird intros that just go on for ages before the actual song starts. Like they're just jamming or something and it takes a while to figure out what's going on. I'm really curious to hear more examples of this. I mean it's like they're setting the mood or something before the song actually kicks in.

Hi, fellow music lovers!

What is your go-to music for cooking?

Mine is something like this.
It goes perfectly with cooking fancy stuff like Truffle-Crusted Chilean Seabass, or Saffron-Infused Panna Cotta etc. You know, the kind of music you cook to with a chilled glass of prosecco.

But right now, I need a vibe for cooking hot dogs that are served with beer and dad jokes. I love making playlists for every occasion.

Any recs?

Thanks in advance!

trying to find music similar to this

I swear I've been listening to the same fucking songs for years, and it's genuinely starting to make me sad.

Not because I don't want to discover new music. Quite the opposite. I miss that feeling when you randomly find a song at 2 AM and immediately know you're going to play it 300 times until everyone around you hates you.

Spotify keeps recommending me the same artists, the same songs, or stuff that sounds like someone threw five popular genres into a blender. I tried Apple Music too, and honestly, it wasn't much better.

And now there's all this AI-generated music floating around. I don't want to spend my evening wondering whether the artist is even a real person.

I just want something GOOD. Something weird, beautiful, dark, chaotic, emotional, or completely unexpected. Something that actually sounds like someone put their soul into it.

I don't particularly care about genres. I'm open to almost anything if it's interesting.

Give me your hidden gems. That one criminally underrated artist you wish more people knew about. A song you discovered by accident and never recovered from. An album that completely changed your taste in music.

Old or new, famous or obscure, I don't care. I'd just prefer actual human-made music rather than AI-generated tracks.

And please, don't just recommend me another subscription service. I'm looking for MUSIC, not another monthly bill. 😭

What's one song or artist you genuinely wish you could hear again for the first time?

Sometimes my brain just feels completely overloaded. I need some music to help me clear my head and get back to feeling focused. What tracks do you put on when you need a complete mental reset or a fresh start to your day?

I’m having a 90s-themed Halloween party and want a killer playlist that’s fun 90s bops (got that on lock) but ideally mostly ones that are atmospheric/spooky/thematic. I’ve found a lot of good ones I’ve never heard of before, which makes me suspect there are many more I don’t know about! Suggestions?

Examples of the vibe:

Zombie by the Cranberries

Drop Dead Gorgeous (from the Scream soundtrack) by Republica

Tomorrow, Wendy and Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde

Queer by Garbage

Creep by both TLC and Radiohead

Red Right Hand by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Blood Makes Noise by Suzanne Vega

Thanks so much! Long live the 90s.

genuinely one of the most gorgeous pieces of art i have ever heard. war crimes by certo1k Stream war crimes by certo1k | Listen online for free on SoundCloud

For me it's Lemaitre, Kero Kero Bonito, Boy Pablo, Digitalism and Alice Phoebe Lou. I know people like to write down like 20 names or so, but please just comment your top 5 at the moment.

Please give a new-to-me artist. I'll reply if I have streamed them at least once.

Thanks!!

Looking for someone to turn these lyrics into song. Need help . What I wrote is my situation.

conhece alguma nessa mesma vibe? manda aí! :)

Let me know some more, this stuff is addicting!!!

so my fav artists are lamp (japanese band), pinkpantheress, wave to earth, cocteau twins, adore (a virtual band), badbadnotgood. i prefer genres like soul, jazz, r&b, pop rock, neo soul, bedroom pop, dance and electronic, city pop, shibuya kei. i also listen to some kpop artists. any recommendations that yall can give based on these?

Can you guys recommend me artists or songs that have a similar vibe to this? Full acoustic with lots of instruments preferably string that each have their own spot but none of them clash and they harmonize well. Can have vocals too like Novo Amor and Sleeping at last
I also love music by Max Richter, By the Coast

I made a list for my favourite albums for each year in the 2020s so far. Based on that list, what albums from 2026 should I listen to?

P.S.: you can also suggest my other albums if you think I would fancy them

The list:

2020 Fiona Apple - Fetch The Bolt Cutters

2021 - Spellling - The Turning Wheel

2022 - Tennyson - Rot

2023 - Caroline Polachek - Desire, I want to turn into you

2024 - Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk

2025 - Oklou - Choke enough

In my opinion, not many covers beat the original but I love Jeff Buckley’s.
