You walk in, hear the music, and immediately think: "Yeah, these guys know what they're doing."

What's playing?

So I'll admit that metal just hasn't ever grabbed me like classic rock and blues has. My favorite band period is Pink Floyd and favorite guitarists would be Dave Gilmour and Stevie Ray Vaughan. But, I do like some "old school" metal from bands like Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Metallica (whom I have seen live) and Megadeth, to name a few.

But I'm looking to expand my musical palette a bit. However, I'll admit up front I'm not really into metalcore (or whatever the sub genre that focuses on guttural screaming is). Even though songs like Bleed by Meshuggah have cool riffs, it's just not my thing (the screaming, I mean). I like music that has deep lyrics, good guitar work and something I can bang my head to like with a lot of Metallica's early stuff. I like the vocals as much as the rest of the music too.

So anything that meets these criteria I'd definitely look into.

Know any songs about finally finding belonging - finding home, peace, relief, or fulfillment?

I've been doing this event/gathering with a group of friends where we listen to music and discuss the deeper meanings behind the songs we are hearing. Each month is a different topic and us moderators try to curate a playlist of songs that align with the theme. We want a wide varity of quality songs from different genres and sounds. Right now we are on the final topic in our Hero's Journey series.

Some songs to inspire you that we've already considered are:

- i by Kendrick Lemar
- Mirror by Kendrick Lemar
- Home by Flyleaf
- Joy. By RAYE

Gimme some albums to try, and then rank them on a tier list after how good they are.

Forbidden to suggest: Grunge, Metallica, Guns n Roses, Rap, Jazz, Classical, Taylor Swift

Bonus points for before 2000

Not just love songs…
I want :
• Goddess energy
• Divine femininity
• The wise woman
• Mysterious, dangerous, intelligent power
• Wars fought over her
• Untouchable beauty
• A mind worth worshipping

Drop your song + the lyric that gets you

For me its Nirvanas Burn the rain.

Recommend me some songs like "Harleys in Hawaii" by Katy Perry

I’m looking for music like these:

childhood - daniel.mp3

20191229 - Mac DeMarco

I find it nostalgic.

I’d prefer it if it was the actual music like above, and not just added to normal ambient music after the fact by editing.

I’ve been listening to Confessions II by Madonna a lot, and plenty of the album’s songs feel like I’m floating into the sky while closing my eyes and performing the sickest dance moves ever. I wanna feel like that Jon Hamm gif. You know the one where he’s dancing while his eyes are shut and there’s flashing lights?

I’m mostly talking about music here, btw. Lyrical content can be about anything.

So I’m here because I LOVE listening to music was hoping to find some good songs and/or music-related shows/anime/whatever pretty much. If it helps here’s a short list of songs I like: “Hey there Delilah”, “Carolina reaper”, “Welcome to wonderland”, pretty much all songs by Arctica the Fox, “Heaven’s gate”, “Ophelia”, “The milk carton”, “City of angels”, and “Belong together”. Obviously there’s LOTS more, but I feel that’s a decent list to go off of, hopefully..

Anyways, any help is greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance :3

okay this is oddly specific and I'm not even sure if
a song like this exists but I'm looking for songs about not being over a nb ex (and if non exist just give me songs about not being over your ex)

Does anyone have an eclectic taste in music?
I love all genres of music, I really don’t have a preference. I know most people listen to just rap, hiphop, punk, jazz, rock, garage and that’s it but I could never do that. You should see my playlist. It’s literally the A-Z of music. One minute I’m listening to a movie soundtrack (Tarantino) next minute I’m listening to Oasis, George Michael, Spice girls, Eminem, Rebecca Black’s DJ set, Jennifer Lopez, the temptations, sister sledge, Prodigy, Slipknot, Muse, Linkin Park, Artful Dodger, Michael Jackson, Earth, Wind & Fire, The Doobie brothers, Eagles, Boy Better Know, So Solid Crew, Lola Collete, Beatles, Backstreet Boys, Chic, INOJ, Jackie Wilson, Papa Roach, Dionne Warwick, Aertha Franklin, Christina Aguilera, Louis Armstrong, DJ lick n MC Neat. Also a lot of WWE/ wrestling superstar themes like Randy Orton Voices. I think you get the picture lol. Music isn’t about genre, it’s about a rhythm, a beat, a symphony, a harmony and every song tells a story. Please share your lists and preferences.

Looking for songs that make you want to throw your coat to the wind and see where that waves will being you.

If you had to give someone goosebumps with a single song, which would you play?

I adore the band Beartooth. They have this song called "Eyes Closed" and from 2:08-2:17 ish, they have this part of the song where the guitar (and maybe drums?) make this "crunch" type of sound. It sounds really pleasant to my ears (even though I am partially deaf), and for some reason, all I can think of is those vampire-esque teeth (like in the picture) that you get from the arcade crunching down on a metal band logo, and hence why I call it "crunchy".

I SWEAR I've heard this exact same type of crunch in other songs and I'd like to find them. Older, newer, whatever. A friend of mine says that he believes the technique is called speed picking and palm muting or "Djenting". However, when he showed me other examples, it almost felt like it was close but it didn't have that quickness of the "crunch". So I want songs that have that but then have that really brief pause after that gives it the emphasis if possible.

Again... i swear I have heard more songs that have this. I know it's never going to be exact to the Beartooth song. But... yeah. I'd love any help you can give.

Thanks!
