r/MusicRecommendations

Any genre, any era. Stuff that sounds unique, powerful but nonchalant, addictive, emotional, heavy, beautiful, or just insanely good. Hit me with your best recommendations.

i probably won’t respond if i know the song already unless its niche/underrated.

i’ll start with 2 songs i think are pretty cool

Just what i am - Kid Cudi
&
Situation - Johnny blue skies

please recommend some life is good type of albums with nice lyrics

Finally got to 1200 songs so let's do a song lottery

I need some new motivating-kid-to-get-dressed-for-school music! Please recommend me songs about articles of clothing or getting dressed, etc. Either song title or subject of the song. (kid friendly lyrics please).

Please no songs about boots/shoes. There are tons of those easy to find on my own.

Looking for anything that evokes the old west, cowboys, or country tinged metal.

Stuff I already like and want more in the vein of:
- Wayfarer
- Spiritworld
- Earth (particularly The Bees Made Honey...)

No cowpunk please.

Doom/stoner/hard rock is fine too. I'm more looking for the vibe.

I’m trying to make a playlist of all the screamo type stuff i listened to in high school. Which was 25 years ago….so it’s a little difficult to locate them from memory! Sheesh. Specifically looking for bands/albums from 2000-2006. Thanks in advance.

Please respond to this before I can't read this lol

edit: thanks so much for the recommendation🙌

Can't Decide fits my criteria, but doesn't necessarily need to be the same style

Preferably indie, indie rock, pop, indie pop — but I listen to almost everything !

What it says on the box. Looking for songs about a partner who wavers, keeps one foot out the door, finds it too easy to walk away. My taste runs toward Prince and Roxy Music if that gives you a feel for the sound but I’m really open to anything across genres as long as that lyrical thread is there. Thanks!

What are you listening to?

Songs with the same feel as Alice In Chains - Nutshell and Linkin Park - My December

Think 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins. What other song titles are sung after one non-title word? Bonus points if the first word of the song is not a HEY! or UH!!!

hello! i’ve been listening to the same songs on repeat lately, and i’m looking for some similar songs.

right now, my favourites on my playlist are:
bad dream - indigo de souza
if i were a fish - ullah
miss - florence road
angel - newdad
hand me downs - florence road
heaven - mercury
can we ignore it :( - lola young

i’d love to hear if any of you know of some songs or artists with a similar vibe! these songs definitely all have an existential vibe with heavy bass, which is definitely my jam lol

Sounds dumb, but I'm in a weird mood this summer and I want to pretend I'm some crazy lunatic going mad for fun while I get high and build nonsensical bullshit structures on my friend's minecraft server. Maybe something that inspires a wacky brand of artistic madness within me. Like I'm seeing things that other people aren't and Im really happy and excited but to other people I look strange. Anything that you have that reminds you of Wacky Pomo, the CD-ROM games you used to play as a child, or anything from that time period. Just hit me with it

Some songs/melodies I like right now that have the vibes I'm kinda looking for (but I'm open to any suggestions):

Slipping into Madness - Waterflame
Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 4 End Credits theme & the Opening credits song for the show
FNAF Sister Location Elevator Song
Ultrahigh 5 and 6 - Pilotredsun
Samegrade - Pilotredsun
Traumvogel - The Orb

I would prefer instrumental/ambient music with no words if possible but again im down for anything
