funkybottoms posted:Sloan has got to be the recommendation. see also The Tragically Hip, the New Pornographers, the Weakerthans, Eric's Trip, maybe 54-40 Thanks for the recommendations, funkybottoms! I had started with The Tragically Hip and The New Pornographers, but forgot about Sloan and didn't know the rest. My music library thanks you.

funkybottoms posted:sure thing, dude- i even thought of a few more, although they're mostly late-90s/2000ish and maybe getting away from the exact sound you're looking for: Broken Social Scene, Hot Hot Heat, Constantines, and Kepler (and Sparkmarker if you want hardcore!) I'm an equal opportunity music consumer, so the original request was more of a jumping off point, anyway (I was looking to fill a playlist with some Odds-type sounds, but a Canadian megalist is cool too). I'm familiar with Hot Hot Heat, but looking forward to checking out the others as well.

Boba Pearl posted:I did this and found some stuff that I had forgotten I liked, I was really into Ska as a kid, and loved Sublime, ok I was into sublime. Then I went back and revisited some of their stuff, and a lot of it is... Very problematic. Which sucks, I also have been getting tiktoks about Ska history, and how it's roots were not white punk dudes, so some stuff like would rule! I've never really given recs before, so bear with me, but hopefully at least one of these will spark an interest. Quick note, if you're not into slower Neko Case, maybe try out her stuff with the New Pornographers? Not sure if Challengers is too plodding for you, but they've got a lot of power pop sounding stuff too. I'm also wondering if you'd like some of the power 80s ladies - Taylor Dayne: https://youtu.be/7_Dyouvtb98 Or Blondie, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Annie Lennox, Suzanne Vega, hell, Patti Smith maybe. Not 80s, but a power lady - Pink. Other random suggestions: LP https://youtu.be/NFnIuBB9YAo Matthew Sweet https://youtu.be/ELwRW_2cdBE Robyn https://youtu.be/CcNo07Xp8aQ Save Ferris https://youtu.be/PU4PrWRlo_8 <Edit: Removed for being awful> And if you're looking for early ska and haven't already, get you some Toots! https://youtu.be/wNxNwvjzGM0 marjorie fucked around with this message at 21:02 on May 6, 2021 |

LionYeti posted:These guys are wildly deeply problematic " March 2019, Australian musician Zheani Sparkes released a diss track titled "The Question" accusing Jones of allegedly sexually assaulting her in South Africa in 2013. According to Sparkes, Jones drugged her and trafficked her to Africa, as well as sending explicit photos of her to cast members of Chappie" Honestly had no idea - didn't really know anything about them except a couple songs, and thought the sound profile might fit. Thanks for the heads up; I edited them out of my post (you may want to edit the quote to remove the youtube link).

What about Brandy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVx8L7a3MuE Edit: Also, these are both 60s, but what about Under the boardwalk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPEqRMVnZNU Or Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTVjnBo96Ug marjorie fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Jun 17, 2021 |

I'd recommend digging through some compilation albums of that era - the major labels like Stax and Atlantic usually release a bunch, though to be fair I'm more well-versed in soul than funk. Here's one that maybe has some lesser known artists since it's regional, should have some songs on it you'd vibe with: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lx6IeC6JR308-PPtwDQ3BQkGqPtALkyYw

Blue Labrador posted:Dude, thanks for the link, I'm gonna give it a listen today! I've never really sought out compilations specifically, but that's a really cool way to discover music, especially considering the regional factor you pointed out; I'll have to be more open to seeking those out. Sure thing! It all depends on my mood, but I tend to like the "achy" kinda soul. Solomon Burke is a favourite, but also Clarence Carter, James Carr, Joe Tex, Shirley Brown; and of course the big ones: Al Green, Otis Redding, Aretha, Bill Withers, Gladys Knight, Marvin Gaye. E: Also, a lot of these artists have more high energy stuff later in their careers, so I'll try to dig up some examples later.

^^^^^ Excellent recommendation. This is one of my favourite driving songs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvtlt-p7vB4 Edited since the prior video link had a confusing title\thumbnail. marjorie fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Nov 26, 2021 |

HenryJLittlefinger posted:Thanks everyone for the many good suggestions. Karate, early White Stripes, some Arctic Monkeys, and Superchunk are the closest to the sound I'm looking for so far. It sounds like you might be good with suggestions, but since you mentioned you still wanted harder stuff and liked Superchunk, I was thinking maybe Wipers, Hum, Archers of Loaf, the Constantines, the Watchmen, or Jawbox (someone mentioned Jawbreaker before, and I feel like that's a little closer to Superchunk, but Jawbox goes harder in my opinion). Not sure if some of those will skew too indie for you, but some more things to try if you want! deep dish peat moss posted:I have a playlist full of music to listen to on nighttime walks and it needs fresh blood. I don't really care what genre and I don't know how exactly to describe what I'm looking for but some albums just sound like nighttime albums, you know? Lo-fi, moody, ethereal, nighttime music. Some examples of artists on the playlist now are Team Sleep, Salem, Purity Ring, Flight Facilities, The Radio Dept., Fujiya & Miyagi, Quelle Chris, Glass Candy, Milo and Boards of Canada. Hit me, goons I really like M83 for nighttime walks. Other things that might fit are Beak>, Kruder & Dorfmeister, LCD Soundsystem, Blanck Mass, Destruments, Stereolab, and Castlebeat.
