The Decemberists
Radical Face
Neutral Milk Hotel
The Shins
Pat the Bunny

Mal Blum

Delicate Steve
Professor Caveman
The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets
almost exclusively electronic music, just can’t seem to get enough of it. (ambient, downtempo, drum & bass, dub, electro, glitch, goa trance, house, idm, psybass, psychill, psytrance, synthwave, techno). I’d be happy to try to give recommendations of any of these if you ask.
also love funk like Parliament/Funkadelic and some electronic focused jambands like STS9 & Lotus
What are some of your ambient recommendations? I was just listening to Tim Hecker’s Konoyo, also dig stuff like Global Communication, Boards of Canada, Grouper, Human Mesh Dance, Stars of the Lid, Biosphere.
Really into a electronic psychedelic cumbia genre that goes by Psicodelica Selvática (and other names) : Dengue Dengue Dengue!, Chancha Via Circuito, Yeahman, Son Rompe Pera, El Remolón’s Selva really hits the spot too.
I prefer my ambient to have a psychedelic aspect to it instead of just pure drone, so probably my favorite ambient artist is Ishq, namely his albums Orchid, Sama, And Awake, Bloom, and Lotus. Sinepearl and Chandanam are also artists that have a similar sound to Ishq. also check out Woob’s Repurpose album
getting into more of the psybient/psychill genre than pure ambient, mostly everything on Ultimae Records is gold imo (Solar Fields, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Cell, H.U.V.A. Network, Sync24, etc.)
Spacebass over on my end : G Jones, EPROM, Alix Perez, Ivy Lab, Of The Trees, Chee, Tsuruda, ISOxo, Culprate, Lab Group
This song has been on solid repeat for me lately GATZB - Get Down

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
I listen to Rock, Punk Rock, Pop Punk, Ska, EDM, and K-Pop.
Some of my favorite bands are Thrice, Streetlight Manifesto, Alkaline Trio, Band-Maid, Dreamcatcher. I dunno man, I just like music.
YESSSS. FINALLY someone else on here who loves Streetlight! Tomas and the rest of the band are pure musical geniuses.
Have you listened to Tomas’ acoustic Streetlight albums The Hand That Thieves and Streetlight Lullabies? They’re amazing.
Yes! I absolutely love the Toh Kay albums. I’ve listened to his entire discography, including Smiles for Macavity and the demos. I haven’t heard a single thing that I dislike from him!
I still most often listen to Grunge and 90 Hard and Alt rock. According to tidal Pearl Jam is a little more than half of all my song listens every month.
Side note, I think the collective noun for Lemmy users in any music thread should be Motorheads.
I used to hate grunge and especially Pearl Jam as a kid, but the genre’s grown on me a lot the last couple years
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.
Ska Punk, rock, and power metal. My favourite bands at the moment are:
Streetlight Manifesto/Catch 22/BOTAR (Absolutely phenominal in every way)
Night Gaunts
Bomb The Music Industry! (And Jeff Rosenstock’s other projects)
Beast In Black
NanowaR of Steel
Reel Big Fish
Less Than Jake
Mad Caddies
The Trews
Semisonic
Flogging Molly
Alestorm
Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Neil Young, Beck, Prince
Have you listened to Lord Huron? They are a modern band playing a traditional rock style, and they have a deep love for Neil Young
This is their most popular album, I think:
Oh wow, excellent; thanks!
OT, but… How did we get to lemmites and not lemmings?
listen to electric callboy
Mainly early 2000s “Whose Line is it Anyway?” hoedowns. My favorite is the one where they make fun of Colin’s baldness.
My musical tastes vary from rock and it’s many subgenres and off shoots to dozens of genres of EDM (mainly Progressive House, Trance, Techno, Psytrance, Dubstep, and Drum & Bass). I have a Spotify library exceeding 12k tracks.
Some of my favorite acts in no particular order include The Offspring, Rise Against, Pearl Jam, Ghost, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevenfold, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Breaking Benjamin, Billy Talent, Linkin Park, Paramore, Deadmau5, Feed Me, Kill The Noise, Liquid Stranger, Dance With The Dead, Ghostland Observatory, Rezz, Eric Prydz, Infected Mushroom, Heatbeat, Death On The Balcony, Hernan Cattaneo, and Lee Burridge just to name a few.
Punk rock.
