My music tastes are quite eclectic-- I like music from classic rock to its descendants in the 70s through 90s, but I guess my favorites are more modern metal, hard rock, etc. Also lots of different electronic music. I’ll list some albums I really like that are less popular and deserve more listeners:

Artist - Album

  • dogleg - Melee | First full album from a high energy punk band, album of the year so far for me.
  • glass beach - the first glass beach album | Hard to pin a genre on this one. Post-emo with jazz influences? Really interesting to me.
  • Truckfighters - Gravity X | Stoner/hard rock, pretty popular in that community I think but not too well known overall.
  • Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Goes Numb | Ska/Punk band. High energy and creative. Nice to have songs that feature more than just guitars and drums.
  • RichaadEB - Bullet Hell | Metal covers of Touhou songs. Never played the games but this guy makes great covers-- lots more on youtube.
  • Korpiklaani - Kulkija | Finnish Folk Metal. Yes.
  • Dan Terminus - The Wrath of Code | Dark synth music, not super 80s style but does scratch that itch a bit. Quite good.
  • MASTER BOOT RECORD - INTERRUPT REQUEST | Metal/synth hybrid with 80s/90s theming, but not in the normal way. References to DOS, and one of his main instruments is a synthesized floppy drive.
  • They Might Be Giants are one of my favorite bands and have basically nothing in common with the above. Creative lyrics and music, fun and catchy.

I’m gonna stop there before I need to break out a second post… I still feel like I’m leaving a lot of stuff out haha.
