Kvlt! posted:Thank you so much for this post! Lots of great stuff in here. I decided to treat myself to a subscription to the Met Opera Player. I usually only listen to Opera, so I'm excited to be able to watch it as well. Glad it was helpful! Opera is a *huge* world covering 400 some years of music and there's a lot to discover and dig into. And I love talking about it so feel free to post here or pm me with any questions or for more recommendations. Incidentally, I fell in love with opera similarly to how you've discovered it, via a single artist I found irresistible and going from there. For me it was Diana Damrau (and later Natalie Dessay) but Pav is a great launching point. I'm sure you can find plenty of his performances on the Met Player ... just know that acting was not considered important in opera from around 1965 - 2000 or so.

I really like the title track on this album (#8), and also #3 and #4. very broken beat-ish (I'm sure he's influenced a lot by dubstep and garage) with some nice female vocals. anything similar I should look for? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hp2F29zktk

Weird, I can't find it anywhere, even on CD on ebay. I didn't realize they were so obscure. I'm pretty sure I got mine from a buddy's hard drive in high school. It's on Spotify, but that might not help. itunes seems to have it for sale but the link won't work for me.

I'm looking for really aggressive hardcore hip-hop. Especially on the darker side (talking realities of gang/drug life rather than gloryifying), but that's not a requirement. Some stuff I really dig that hits the spot -Ill Bill -La Coka Nostra (and all its members solo stuff) -DMX -Wu Tang's debut Stuff like City Morgue and the harder $uicideboy$ songs kinda scratch the itch, but I'm not a huge fan of trap-style beats. Also I'm a huge DJ Screw fan so any suggestions for chopped and screwed stuff in this style is great too I'm not a gangbanger or anything I just like listening to this type of music while I write boring school papers.

drat onyx was cool as hell I really like jazzy and instrumental hip-hop stuff, anything I should look at besides tribe, j dilla, nujabes, dj shadow? I really love this album, but I think it's extremely rare, there's only one copy of it in any format on discogs. But this is the closest to what I'm looking for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mHrYNZqWLk

Esham is about as dark as it gets And I'm not sure if it's hip hop and you might already know about them but based on what you're looking for, Death Grips should be right up your alley. Start with The Money Store. E: if you just listen to one song by Death Grips, listen to Hacker. One of the best songs of the 2010s E: I might have misread what you were looking for tbh. I don't know if Death Grips counts as trap beats, chopped and screwed, or neither regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Apr 1, 2022 |

BigFactory posted:The Stevie Wonder one is cool but I don’t go back to it very often. Was that the only one? I am not familiar with any connection between Madlib and Stevie Wonder. e: Oh I see he did an album of Stevie Wonder covers. Yeah, he had a couple YNQ albums, Angles Without Edges and Yesterday's Universe. They're good, typical Madlib. Kind of wandering around, some of the tracks it's hard to tell what he was going for. Weird jazz, soulful low key stuff. Similar to that work, he did an album called Shades of Blue which is really great. He did reduxes of a bunch of great Blue Note artists' stuff. Lonnie Smith, Horace Silver, Lou Donaldson, etc. It's really tastefully done. HenryJLittlefinger fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Apr 1, 2022 |

I really like this song, but the band doesn't make really other songs that are like it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9ZNErprAAI I also really enjoyed this cover of Tom's Diner that's making the rounds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r3B7yz6J68 What are some more stuff that's like this? I really like upbeat songs, fast tempo cheery-ish lyrics.

I love late 70s and 80s hard rock and metal ballads (stuff like Home Sweet Home by Motley Crue, November Rain by Guns n Roses, the ballad section of Bohemian Rhapsody, all that cheesy poo poo) but im tired of making playlists and all the different bands. Is there bands where a good amount of their output is mostly this type of stuff? The only one I thought of was Queen has a lot of ballads but I'm burnt out on their discography after a recent binge

I've got a whole playlist of melancholy-ish sounding folk-y/acoustic guitar songs that kind of have a similar vibe. Maybe one of these? Alex G's "Powerful Man" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1krc73eU5yU Matthew Good's "Fated" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1Djh5_48js Gord Downie's "Vancouver Divorce" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIwU8CgVGk0 Wilco's "Radio Cure" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm-MpLGfogA

Maybe this is the wrong place for this, but I was listening to this song the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JbtXAxVrlc I seem to remember there being countless American pop-punk/emo bands from the early 00s that had this exact sound, but then I started going through some Spotify playlists and I couldn't really find anything on point. Maybe it's the Mandela effect? Anybody have some good sound-alikes for this (guitar tone, not-whiny emo vocals)?

Andrew Bayer's album If It Were You, We'd Never Leave appears to be singular. glitchy, wintry hip hop beats with superbly produced melodies with absolutely no part of the SoundCloud aesthetic that all those buzzwords might imply. I'm trying to find other music in this corner and am not successful so would love some recs. all of his music I've heard before or since has been not very inspiring Anjunabeats stuff which is great if you're into that, but I haven't been for a while.

dang, cool album. his sample of sufjan steven's the seer's tower is super pretty. album reminds me a lot of Clark. check out iradelphic, but really most of his stuff has a similar vibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkFbKUws_dU you may also like uncle skeleton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebyfCNBd6wg lastly some of the more nostalgic-y bits remind me of bibio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDl8udKk8Zg

I'm sure there's popular stuff that I've missed, so doesn't have to be obscure.While I do love those two songs they feel really different from Free Fallin for some reason.

Some songs I think are similar in different ways, see if any of these work Leaving on a Jet Plane - John Denver Up & Up - Coldplay High and Dry - Radiohead Learning to Fly - Tom Petty Grace and Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley Payphone - Maroon 5 My hunch is that you'll like Up & Up the most. If so, Coldplay in general might be a good fit. regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 19:06 on May 5, 2022 |

He was the singer for Bauhaus but his solo work is often underrated imo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrfFHzqGBZI I think you'll enjoy it!
