Hey Lemmy give me an album to listen to
Here’s my 100 most listened to albums on last.fm for reference of what my taste is like, don’t let that stop you from recommending me things you think I won’t like though I’m trying to expand my horizons.
I also like listening to small artists, I write a series of artist features all about people less than a million Spotify listeners so if you have any recommendations for that lmk.
Glad to see plenty of gorillaz in there!
Actually a lot of yours align with mine such as Tame Impala and King Gizzard. I'm gonna check out some of the others you have.
I don't really listen to specific albums, just certain artists and playlists.
I will throw in Franz Ferdinand - Hits to the head album though
You should check out Psyence Fiction by UNKLE, I think you would enjoy it based on your taste for Gorillaz, and maybe Mezzanine by Massive Attack and Becoming X by Sneaker Pimps. My top picks off each album would be "Guns Blazing", "Bloodstain" and "Rabbit in Your Headlights" off the first one and "Black Milk", " Inertia Creeps" and "Mezzanine" off the second, and "Tesko Suicide" , "6 Underground" and "Spin Spin Sugar" off the third. But honestly I feel like these are just albums you gotta do a sequential listen of. Let me know if you enjoy any of them!
Actually one last one, I'd throw in The Sun Rises in the East by Jeru the Damaja, "Mental Stamina" and "Jungle Music" are solid
Love that Forever story is there as both original and extended version! Sticking to the strong lyricism rap themes Food and Liquor from Lupe Fiasco is great.
I think Eminem's latest project The Death of Slim Shady was a lot of fun and showed his talent as an artist but it's not for everyone thematically.
Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE if you wanna expand into psychedelia
illmatic
Our musical tastes seem almost perfectly aligned, so I'll try and throw out a few curve balls:
- AJR - pretty corny, but fuck if almost every song ain't a bop.
- The Districts - A Flourish and a Spoil
- Mansions - Dig Up the Dead
- Stop Light Observations - oRANGE.
- Disco Elysium Soundtrack has been my go to of late when I don't want lyrics cluttering my head.
I share a lot of those albums in my top listens! I highly suggest any album by the Avalanches (there are only 3.) Start with Since I Left You, then Wildflower, then We Will Always Love You. They're a group from Australia that kinda popularized Plunderphonics. Where they just bought a TON of old records and made songs purely from samples. Since I Left You is an amazing album that is pure samples, easily over 1000 samples were used.
The album Syro by Aphex Twin.
Robert Glasper - Black Radio
Sungazer - Perihelion
Unexpect - Fables of the Sleepless Empire
Frank Zappa - Civilization Phase III
Will Wood - "In case I make it,"
The Algorithm - Brute Force
Devin Townsend - Empath
Miles Davis - removed Brew
Oneohtrix point Never - R + 7
Panopticon - Autumn Eternal
King Capisce - Memento Mori
Cynic - Kindly Bent to Free Us
Archive - Controlling Crowds The Complete Edition Parts I-IV
Intronaut - The Direction of Last Things
SHT GHST - 1: The Creation
Dan Deacon - America
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians
- Public enemy - it takes a nation of millions to hold us back
- de la soul - 3 feet high and rising
- the weeknd - dawn fm
- jurassic 5 - power in numbers
- the coup - genocide and juice
- amy winehouse - frank
Kinda older at this point, but I still love Cadence Weapon's "Breaking Kayfabe." In 2009 he was named Edmonton's Poet Laureate.
Because you like Handsome Boy Modelling School I'd give Lovage - Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By a spin.
Didn't notice The Streets in your top 100. It's kind of in line with Gorillaz. My fave album of theirs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Grand_Don't_Come_for_Free
Watch !sessionjams@sh.itjust.works you never know what might get posted.
How you got not RTJ?!
Listen to all 4 RTJ albums pls
Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. (60's Psychedelic rock, nearly all of the songs were hits, that's how good it is)
Twin Fantasy by Car Seat Headrest (indie rock)
3D Country by Geese (country rock made by a punk band)
[the future academy of noise, rhythm and gardening presents...] The Dream by The Orb. (Ambient house? Can't remember the exact genre, very ambient, sample heavy and "lush" but also dancable)
Keep It Unreal by Mr. Scruff (acid/nu-jazz I think?)
Frequencies From Planet Ten, Time Travelling Blues by Orange Goblin (two albums, stoner metal)
The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown). (Psychedelic rock with rnb/soul-style vocals, also possibly one of the first narrative-based albums)
Ziltoid the Omniscient by Devin Townsend (prog-metal, one of the greatest albums of all time)
And if you want the heaviest album I've ever heard, try Snailking by Ufomammut. It's... It's something else. Basically a mix of doom and stoner metal but with sludge metal effects. Best way I think I can describe it is if Pink Floyd had been a doom metal band addicted to Lovecraft. It's trippy in a lovecraftian kinda way.
Anyway, gonna cut myself off here.
Something different - Lorn - Just listen to everything xD
To stay more hip hop
Cult of the Damned and all of their side projects, Lee Scott is a fucking son and pretty much everything he touches is gold. My particular favourite is the "Cult Mountain" side project.
After going through your list a second time, I don't see gorillaz newest album Cracker Island on it. I never thought the gorillaz would ever get close to their demon days height but I love their new album almost as much (its close, but you can't outshine the sun)
Durand Burnarr - Wanderlust
Metallica - S&M (Symphony and Metallica)
The old one, not the newer one. It's a live recording.
Metallica and the San Francisco symphony, honestly some of the better versions of their songs are on this album. No Leaf Clover is my favorite from it.
Also, CunninLynguists - Strange Journey volume 3
We have similar taste and you need to listen to Kalush (and Kalush Orchestra) - Ukrainian hip hop! The “Orchestra” group has more folk influences but all of it is just banger after banger. I don’t understand a word of Ukrainian but I love these guys.
The Chronicles of Israfel - Starborn
Big Boi and Phantom made a collab album.
Dream Theater - Meteopolis pt 2: Scenes from a Memory
bleach lab - lost in a rush of emptiness
Ride - Nowhere
Here's something unique. The album "Acheron" by Mechina.
I don't think it's in your regular taste. But it's unique enough to be a suggestion.
Can't see the list but basing this on the comments - I have been enjoying the new Hard Quartet album and think you might like. Rock and roll, more or less.
Janelle Monae, any of the first 3 albums in particular, but all of hers flow well.
Run the Jewels, if they aren't already in your list. Second album, but again, any.
Absolutely love the new Fontaines DC album.
I haven't heard most of those artists but some of the albums art reminds me of MC Lars
Black Heart from Nine Treasures for expanding horizons :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1TRPCPoVhw&list=OLAK5uy_ki7KfC9keEcJRL5bnPdpa_M_aedfAXFSE
The Replacements - Let it Be Morphine Cure For Pain
Sad, Fat Luck by Ceschi
In case we die, architecture in Helsinki
Nails - You Will Never be one of us
Stessie - Home
Sound and Fury - Sturgill Simpson
Any by Radiohead. They are all different.
I's recommend SLIFT's album UMMON. It's an interesting mix of psychedelic-prog rock/metal.
Their other albums are also pretty solid, but Ummon is their best IMO.
In two totally different genres : World on Disease by Antagonism and Orelsan et Gringe sont Les Casseurs Flowters by Casseurs Flowters
If you're into rap hybridizations, Rage Against the Machine's self titled album is one of my favourite's
Permanently Deleted
Mechanical Keyboard Sounds: Recordings of Bespoke and Customized Mechanical Keyboards
Edit: This is less music, and more relaxation sounds. But I really like it.
over the garden wall soundtrack spotted
I don't know most of those so I can't really get a grasp on your tastes but I'll throw a few albums I really like into the ring anyways!
Ruin - The Amazing Devil The Search - NF Everything is Wrong - Lincoln Needle and Thread - Roland Faunte Starbound Orchestral - Curtis Schweitzer Smile! :D - Porter Robinson Dark Matter - Les Friction
I tried to pick some stuff that was really all over the place, hopefully something in there speaks to you
Ivan Torrent - Onyria
This guy makes amazing epic music. Can't recommend him enough. All his other albums are great as well.
violent femmes - hallowed ground
Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow One of the greatest albums of all time. If you like Dilla and DOOM that's the only logical choice.
No Is This It or Room on Fire?!
BOO THIS MAN!!
Preschtale by C-jeff
WITHERED or Paid Programming by BONES
Suite for Ma Dukes by Miguel Atwood Ferguson. Live recording of a Dilla tribute concert with a 60 piece orchestra. Stakes Is High with Posdnuos and Talib Kweli is a standout. Album is on Bandcamp and the full concert video is on YouTube.
In the World: From Natchez to New York by Olu Dara. He's the father of Nas (who guests on the album) and an accomplished jazz musician in his own right, but this isn't a jazz album. Okra is in my top three songs about food.
Fela Soul by Amerigo Gazaway. A mashup of De La Soul and Fela Kuti. "Music is the weapon. Music is the future. Music is the weapon of the future."
Clube da Esquina 2
Since you are trying to expand your horizons here's a bunch of weird stuff I like:
- Paper Kites - Woodland
- Hawaii Part II
- Jack Stauber - HiLo
- Marxist Love Disco Ensemble - MLDE
- Twin Resurrection - Volume 1
- Windows 96 - Reflections (tbh any album by Win96 is great)
- Chikoi The Maid - Leaving Reality
- Ginger Root - Shinbangumi
- PilotRedSun - Achievement
- Date of Birth - Planet Dob
- Akiko Yano - Tadaima
Somewhere in the In-between by Streetlight Manifesto
I've been slowly digging into their discography recently and holy crap Ska is so funny because it'll be a bopping tune but then you catch the lyrics and find it's a song about war, death, collapse, etc.
This music video definitely embodies that same disconnect. Cute animal animation with bopping music except wait what are those people doing? What are those animals doing? Oh my is that how this ends?!
I see a lot of my favorites in that list. Some of my top albums I don't see:
- Negro Swan and Cupid Deluxe by blood orange
- IV by badbadnotgood
- injury reserve by injury reserve
- Don't You by Wet (pretty significant vibe shift from the others, maybe you'll like it)
Based on your most listened, maybe try Little Simz, clipping, Fantasic Negrito (Album: Last Days of Oakland)
For something maybe a little outside the box I recommend The Books, Gramatik, Pretty Lights, Cosmo Sheldrake
Laurie Anderson - Strange Angels
Phantomime - Mori Calliope
Punk rock for kids who can't skate, by destructo disk
and The power of positive drinking, by ashtrays
Generation Why by Zhu. I don't really care for most of Zhu's music, but this album I really enjoy. It's similar in style to 808s and heartbreak.
Terraja Peyote asesino.
You'd probably like Paul's Boutique by the Beastie Boys. You may also wanna try Nujabe's Modal Soul.
A Tribe Called Quest - Beats, Rhymes, & Life
I'd recommend this album, or if you don't have time for the whole thing, this specific song on it.
Album: Maximum Love - Jupiter
Song: Dangerous Love
I might have missed it but I don’t see the Under Pressure album for Logic. Might to get your listens up on that one
Literally anything by Nappy Roots.
The Game is underrated IMO.
Chiddy Bang — Opposite of Adults
I really like Mark Battles. “Real Ones, “Numbers2” and “How” are solid tracks.
“Nina” by Rhapsody is a great track.
