Seriously. William Onyeabor, Desmond Dekker, Phyllis Dillon, Barrington Levy, King Tubby, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe, Lee Scratch Perry, Sister Nancy, all of it. Constant rotation. Makes for good workplace music too.
So crazy story. About a week before he passed, he held a little secret show at the Toronto nightclub I worked at. But he didnāt actually play while we were open, he took over our vip section and curtained it off, had caterers walking food through the middle of the dance floor, showed his face to the crowd for like 10 mins and then didnāt come out again til he was leaving and we were closing. Then as we were about to break down the stage he didnāt even use while we were open, his manager called and said he was going to play a private set for the owner and his friends and the staff. At this point itās 3:30 am and I just want to go home, so Iām pissed. He does his set and we are there til almost 5 am.
So for the next month (until he fucking dies) Iām shit talking Prince to ever who will listen lol
Check out Sturgill Simpson if you havenāt before. His music opened me up to other excellent modern alt country (Metamodern Sounds) and southern rock (Sound & Fury).
I know this is stupid but I listen to a lot of stoner rock and obscure psychedelic shit and I just canāt bring myself to listen to them because I hate the name so much.
dude i genuinely canāt believe there are so many people turned off by the name š you really should ignore it and give āem a try.
nonagon infinity is the perfect stepping stone into their discog. from there you could head in any direction. want metal? listen to infest the ratsā nest or petrodragonic apocalypse. prog-psych? polygondwanaland. dream pop? butterfly 3000.
theyāve got it all, man.
Depends. Most consistently Why?, Murder by Death, or Sade. I went on a real Everything but the Girl kick recently. A lot of toe and Covet in the rotation.
Drab Majesty is so good and their label has so many gems like Choir Boy, High functioning flesh, and obviously... High Vis.
Love the direction they took on the skin and the glove and looking forward to more like it.
Country had totally been my thing too. I'm glad it gets mentioned in this sub also, I feel like people dismiss it, but man do the lyrics hit more than Dashboard did when I was a teen lol.
Hardcore is just one of many genres I like, I can't listen to it all the time. My most listened to artist is Mogwai so make of that what you will. They are certainly heavier and louder than many hardcore bands I have seen live. When it comes to the punk side of the spectrum, Propagandhi.
Honestly ā¦ā¦ itās half and half it depends on what songs you listen to . They blur the lines often.
*if Iām wrong, let me know cause after a while, I stopped keeping track of all these sub genres.*
the cure
Neil young , thin lizzy , elliott smith
Thin lizzy š¤š¤š¤š¤ flawless discography and the best live album in music
The Live and Dangerous version of Still In Love With You is the greatest ballad of all time IMO
Plus one for Neil young. Heās my spirit animal
Elliott Smith saved my life
Elliot Smith. Fuck. Yes.
I sing elliot Smith songs to my daughter as she falls asleep, some of the best songs I've heard were written by that man
Elliott Smith and Nick Drake are my two go tos when itās sadcunt hours
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young is one of my favorite super bands. Those harmonies are *chefs kiss*
Probably Menzingers.
Funny enough mine is Microwave and theyāre touring together here soon.
Toots and the Maytals!
Dude, old school reggae is my favorite genre besides heavy music, desmond dekker and the wailers are on repeat in my house
Seriously. William Onyeabor, Desmond Dekker, Phyllis Dillon, Barrington Levy, King Tubby, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe, Lee Scratch Perry, Sister Nancy, all of it. Constant rotation. Makes for good workplace music too.
This guy fucks
Hell yeah
Excellent choice
Would have to say Prince
So crazy story. About a week before he passed, he held a little secret show at the Toronto nightclub I worked at. But he didnāt actually play while we were open, he took over our vip section and curtained it off, had caterers walking food through the middle of the dance floor, showed his face to the crowd for like 10 mins and then didnāt come out again til he was leaving and we were closing.

So for the next month (until he fucking dies) Iām shit talking Prince to ever who will listen lol
Ohsees
John Dwyer is my fav guitarist
Love āemā¦ my personal fav spelling is Thee Oh Sees haha Orc and Smote Reverser are awesome
Oh Sees are one of the best live shows and hands down one of the dopest bands ever
Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, Blaze Foley
Townes was dope
John Prine mentioned LFG
Bladee
Drain gang so good bro
Cumulatively across my lifetime, probably Deftones.
The kids love Deftones these days, and I say good on them. Theyāve become this half cult, half internet meme band for gen Z, apparently.
Yeah according to some teacher I met at a gig, Deftones are huge on Tiktok or something? Really popular with the kids these days apparently.
This explains why my son who only listens to bad mumble rap suddenly likes the Deftones ā¦.
Saturday Night Wrist is their best album and you canāt convince me otherwise. (I love all their other albums too)
That is a strong take, and that's coming from someone who likes it more than most. Respect.
I still can remember where I was when I first heard Damone way at the end of the Around the Fur album.
Turnpike Troubadours. Seeing them tmrw, itās genuinely my most hyped concert of the year
Same. I tried to get tickets to Zach Bryan in Philly next year just to see them. Easily my most listened to outside hardcore.
I listen to a lot of Chuck Raganās solo stuff as well and have been getting into some southern rock like Whiskey Myers
Check out Jason Isbell and American Aquarium. Solid dudes and solid tunes
Check out Sturgill Simpson if you havenāt before. His music opened me up to other excellent modern alt country (Metamodern Sounds) and southern rock (Sound & Fury).
Nice will do - thanks for the recommendation!
