Xanadu

No, not Olivia Newton John's version written by Jeff Lynne...

Rather the one by RUSH.

[–] clag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Loverman, Metallica cover of a song by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Absolutely recommend.

The window's open and I can hear the birds singing outside. Yes, I recommend it.

The song of tinnitus. It sounds like the high pitched squeal of a failing power supply.

If we're counting what's stuck in my head, it's the live album version of In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins.

HIGHLY recommend either it or the studio version

Right Now?

It'll do if you like pop-punk.

[–] Gumbyyy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

One Headlight by the Wallflowers. Absolutely yes - it's one of my favorite 90s songs.

My cars AC fans.

Sky´s Falling Down by Hypocrisy. I like it, metal is not for everyone tho I realize

[–] Underwaterbob@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

R.E.M. - Ages of You. It came up in random rotation of ~5000 MP3s I have on my phone. Great song. Reminds me of being young. I used to belt it out in the car driving around as a teenager. It's on Dead Letter Office which is a collection of b-sides they released in the mid-late 80s.

All I can hear is the fan on my computer blowing. I don't recommend it.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

HOME - We're Finally Landing I'd say definitely give it a listen if you like synths.

[–] DigDoug@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Feels like somebody just set a speedrun world record.

My daughter and I have been listening to Jesse Welles' (Under the Power Lines versions) of Autumn and Anything But Me quite a lot. Certain is also fire, but a little too political for my 6-year-old to grasp.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My kids are making me play K.K. Slider tracks from Wii's Animal Crossing City Folk in Brewster's Cafe (I am time traveling to Saturday). Cafe K.K. just played.

Do I recommend it? Yeah, cool cat.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Hell yeah.
But I dislike the records. I am instead listening to the hourly background tracks.

Cam Rao - CHASING

I heard him on a ARIatHOME live stream VOD, found it catchy. Probably recommend but it's not that deep.

Courtney Barnett - Pedestrian At Best

On the way home from work now. I bought her new album and started listening to her older stuff again too: https://youtu.be/o-nr1nNC3ds

Currently I'm listening to Tom Waits' 1983 album Swordfishtrombones. The specific song playing is Frank's Wild Years although it switched to the title track.

Waits for sure has some great songs, but he's an excellent album artist and I would recommend Swordfishtrombones. It's one of his best albums and I would whole heartedly recommend it. Mule Variations, Bone Machine, and Rain Dogs are also fantastic albums. Fair warning though, Tom Waits is very polarizing, you either love him or absolutely hate him.

The Dillinger Escape Plan : One of Us Is the Killer

Yes... if you're into harsh music.

[–] TammyTobacco@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago
[–] m4ylame0wecm@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

Melissa, Mercyful Fate. Yes.

Pelagic by Covet

Absolutely recommend, very chill instrumental math rock.

[–] dunnyfood@piefed.social 4 points 3 days ago

Memphis LK - Some Kinda Heaven. Pretty solid song if you like the Y2K Electronic/Hopecore type of sound. Fun fact: she is actually the daughter of Paul Kelly, who made legendary songs such as Dumb Things and To Her Door.

“Taxi to Baltimore Dub” by Scientist. It has an interesting genealogy: Randy Newman’s song “Baltimore” was done as a reggae cover by Nina Simone, then covered again by an actual reggae band called The Tamlins, which then got remixed/dubbed by Scientist. If you listen to Newman’s and then Scientist’s, they’re effectively unrecognizable in relation other than lyrical snippets. I absolutely recommend it.

Disintegration/Free Money by Slayer. Kickass cover and tribute to the original hardcore punk song by Verbal Abuse.

ADDERALL by maezi666 . It’s good but you have to like the nightcore adjacent music.

Snitch to the Suture - Star Fucking Hipsters

Ab-so-fucking-lutely!

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Gary numan, Savage. So good . before that, NIN, Fragile

My friends talk... And only if you like magic the gathering.

I don't have the album link, but I got the individual link to the song I was listening to while I found thus question: Last Words by nostraightanswer. It's part of their Specters album, which I have on CD and LOVE, so yes I recommend it. This song happens to be about the fear of others passing away.

It's my maybe 4th favorite in that album behind Empty ( about depression ), Lies In Their Blood ( school shootings ) and Face to Face ( dealing with a stalker ). It's a pretty serious album that manages not to be super dreary throughout the whole thing. Would recommend.

"Prisoner's Awakening," from the Dead Cells soundtrack, which frequently comes up on my workday playlist. Definitely recommended, that game has an amazing soundtrack. Instrumental, varying from orchestra and acoustic guitar to sometimes electric guitar and synth (or, synth-like?) tracks.

As The World Begins To Wane - Absent Moon - Chuck Salamone

Its like ballad or opera rock or something and it tells the story of what happens to the characters of Hylics after Hylics 2. I'd only recommend it if you played the Hylics series.
