Ello,

I think it'd be pretty cool if we recommended each other some albums for each other to listen to. Hopefully we can expand some peoples views on music because there's seriously so much good music out there it's ridiculous. And the sad part is that most of it will probably go unheard because:

A: It's really underground
or
B: People won't give it a chance because they're used to their current tastes in music.

If you've got open ears, feel free to give new things a listen.

You can recommend anything from Experimental, Synth-Pop, Drum & Bass, House, Pop, Alternative, Classic Rock, Jazz, Metal, Orchestrated Music, or even Video Game music. My goal is to just immerse people in the world of music.



What we'll do is you post an album that you want people to hear and than you listen to the album from the post above you.
(So an example would be if I put Lights - The Listening as my album, the next post made would have to listen to that album. And likewise, I would have to listen to the album that was listed in the post before mine).

Now, this thread doesn't have to be limited to JUST that. If you're looking for new music to listen to than you can listen to any album listed in this thread.

You can either buy the albums, listen to them on youtube, or my method, pirating them (SHH DON'T TELL.)
For those than don't pirate things, you can just post the tracklisting and a youtube link.

Now, without further delay, let's get this thread started :)

James-Blake-Overgrown-Deluxe-Version-612x612.jpg

James Blake - Overgrown.

It's a really laidback album that was released this year in April. According to the wikipedia article, it's "post-dubstep" but it's really anything but dubstep. Maybe REAL dubstep, but not anything like Skrillex.

The second track off of the album, I Am Sold.

Is that new Tyler, The Creator album as good as everyone says? I've been hearing a lot of good things about it.

It's good if you liked Analog and his jazzy stuff. If you didn't, there's still some songs for you in there as well. Tamale es numero uno though.

Here's some random songs that just make me feel good


^This song reminds me of Middle School omg like I was going out with this one girl and just those memories it's weird how a song can do that to you.


good song good beat good lyrics good song

yeah so theres some more

OH and I stickied this thread just because I love this thread so much and music is something everyone likes so there's no going wrong in this thread.

Really been getting into Redlight King lately. I'd recommend checking them out.

Also, check out these guys if you like 8-Bit and rock:

As always, *shameless Protomen plug*.
 
That Urizen song was wicked.

It's also great to see that someone else is into Electronic Music (Smoke w/ Koan Sound)

Here's some other albums that are classics for me.

Michou
Cardona (2010)
Pop/Alternative/Folk

Michou was a cool Canadian band from Windsor, they used to open for Lights all the time but I think they're on indefinite hiatus.
My favourites aaaare
Summer Night : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL7crp9wXw8
Eavesdropping : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rsYWNfyBao

Streetlight_Manifesto_-_Everything_Goes_Numb.jpg

Streetlight Manifesto
Everything Goes Numb (2003)
Ska-Punk

Oh my, Streetlight Manifesto. This album is fantastic from beginning to end. I can probably sing every word of every song because I've listened to it so much. If you haven't heard of these guys and you're into Ska OR Punk, I'd highly suggest you check these guys out.

I'd link some songs but every song off this album is my favourite.
 
My music is all over the place. I hope people enjoy some of it, I already know of a few TMBG fans here, and a few odd ones out that know of some of the others. They're in a general order of my favorites (I don't pick favorites very easily) and the ones that I think people should listen to most.
Matt writes (with the exceptions of his covers, of course), produces, sings, and plays the majority of instruments on all of his music. He is an extremely talented guy and deserves much more attention then he gets. All of his songs are original and innovative, and his covers put new spins on other songs.

This playlist barely puts a dent in his collection, but has a lot of good songs of his. From this list, I especially recommend "Could You Love Me Now" and "What a Fool Believes". His albums Breakfast With Girls and Gizmodgery are my favorites.
I've been a huge fan of TMBG for as long as I can remember, they're absolutely brilliant. Their music is often a tad strange, which is what I love about them.
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6A06B7C72F910483
I suggest checking out "Birdhouse in Your Soul" "You Probably Get That a lot" "Your Racist Friend" "Ana Ng", but those are just a few of the many awesome songs they have. (Self does a great cover of Ana Ng, by the way. Both versions are great)
Mike is an extremely talented guy who's had a tough life but has made the most of it. He's another one of my all-time favorites.
Mike was in a band called Soul Coughing before he started his solo career. They're also very good, he wrote all of their songs.
Steely Dan is an amazing group, they have more amazing music than I could ever listen to.

I hope this isn't too overwhelming, I wanted to include as much as possible without scaring people away.
 
Two albums I got recently were:

Tape Deck heart - Frank Turner (Singer/songwriter type music. Acoustic guitar and band. Some upbeat, some heartbreak songs)
First single from the album:

An Awesome Wave - Alt-J (Generally calm and mellow. Not sure how to describe it)
Single from the album:
