Here’s my 100 most listened to albums on last.fm for reference of what my taste is like, don’t let that stop you from recommending me things you think I won’t like though I’m trying to expand my horizons.
I also like listening to small artists, I write a series of artist features all about people less than a million Spotify listeners so if you have any recommendations for that lmk.
Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE if you wanna expand into psychedelia
- Public enemy - it takes a nation of millions to hold us back
- de la soul - 3 feet high and rising
- the weeknd - dawn fm
- jurassic 5 - power in numbers
- the coup - genocide and juice
- amy winehouse - frank
I’s recommend SLIFT’s album UMMON. It’s an interesting mix of psychedelic-prog rock/metal.
Their other albums are also pretty solid, but Ummon is their best IMO.
The Chronicles of Israfel - Starborn
Deltron 3030.
Hes the rapper for the gorillaz but also has/had a solo career before/during/after the gorillaz as del the funkee homosapien.
The album is a sci-fi futurism concept hip hop album.
Stessie - Home
Ride - Nowhere
Clube da Esquina 2
illmatic
P.U.L.S.E.
Upgrade that Dark Side of the Moon.
Which PULSE?
Didn’t notice The Streets in your top 100. It’s kind of in line with Gorillaz. My fave album of theirs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Grand_Don’t_Come_for_Free
Apex - Unleash the Archers.
Any by Radiohead. They are all different.
Our musical tastes seem almost perfectly aligned, so I’ll try and throw out a few curve balls:
- AJR - pretty corny, but fuck if almost every song ain’t a bop.
- The Districts - A Flourish and a Spoil
- Mansions - Dig Up the Dead
- Stop Light Observations - oRANGE.
- Disco Elysium Soundtrack has been my go to of late when I don’t want lyrics cluttering my head.
Kinda older at this point, but I still love Cadence Weapon’s “Breaking Kayfabe.” In 2009 he was named Edmonton’s Poet Laureate.
Because you like Handsome Boy Modelling School I’d give Lovage - Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By a spin.
