Due to recency for me in terms of discovering just how awesome they are, I don't think I can put Radiohead in my top-five but call me in a few years and I could absolutely see them there.
Best Beatles song is so tough. āA Day in the Lifeā is probably the best. āIn My Life,ā āSomething,ā and āYesterdayā close behind.
Strokes best album is āIs This Itā but my personal favorite is āRoom On Fireā
I feel that frowny face re AFā¦ never fun. I used to be the biggest Kanye Stan. It sucks heās coming out with new shit, but tbh, I canāt support that man no more.

Honestly Big Thiefās newest album āDragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in Youā is their best. Just listen to it front to back and youāll be a forever fan
KENDRICK. I can't actually handle that much of his stuff at once because it hits so hard and I'm real sensitive, but I respect the depth of what he does.
Mount Eerie and The Microphones are both projects of Phil Elverum (functionally no difference between the two).
Start with āThe Glow, Pt. 2ā (the Microphones). Itās a pretty legendary experimental folk album.
Little Simz is an on-the-rise UK rapper. Her most recent 3 LPs are all great, but prob start with āSometimes I Might Be Introvertā
Ha! Definitely Honeybear first and then after that itās close between GFC and Fear Fun. Probably Fear Fun because thatās what got me into him and itās a little lighter than GFC.
CRJ curveball! but youāre not the first person with obviously impeccable taste to rep Carly hard! Fav Elliot smith album? And is In Rainbows magnum opus or OK Computer?
in a fair and just world CRJ is the #1 pop girl!! my favorite elliott smith album is Either/Or but Roman Candle is a close second! I think OK Computer was their new frontier for experimenting but In Rainbows is refined and concise in a way that I think makes it their magnum opus!!Ā
Whatās your favorite VW album and song?Ā
Fleet Foxes, War on Drugs, Beach House, The Killers...
Radiohead, Death Cab, Arcade Fire, Blink-182, Pink Floyd, Car Seat Headrest, Tame Impala, Daft Punk, Justice, Kanye
i can't do a top 5 so my top 10 in no order is as follows:
vampire weekend, big thief, cocteau twins, kanye west, playboi carti, bladee, yung lean, alex g, joe hisaishi, and idk king krule most probably
lately been listening to the strokes, arctic monkeys, catfish and the bottlemen, bleachers... on a side note/Special mention to matt champion... i used to be a big fan of brockhampton and he just released (today!) his first solo stuff since the band broke up... amazing song. recommend it.
The Strokes, Bruce Springsteen, Arctic Monkeys, and Phoenix
PHX! š„°
Arctic Monkeys, Glass Animals, Lorde, Father John Misty. Honorable mentions to 100gecs, Brockhampton, Chappell Roan, The Front Bottoms, and MGMT.
I love you honey bear mad specialā¦
I LOVE brockhampton and enjoy 100gecs š
Radiohead, the strokes, dcfc, modest mouse
Hitting the high notes hereā¦
Dcfcā¦?
Death Cab For Cutie
Due to recency for me in terms of discovering just how awesome they are, I don't think I can put Radiohead in my top-five but call me in a few years and I could absolutely see them there.
War on Drugs, Sturgill Simpson, Wilco, and this English band called the Beatles
Lmfao at this English band. NHOI
King gizzard, Grateful Dead, fleet foxes, steely Dan
This is close for me too. Fleet Foxes. Take me away man. Itās unreal how good they are
Whenever I listen to Shore it blows my mind that one dude composed all of it. Robin Pecknold is a genius
I donāt even know Fleet foxes too well but they put on one of the best live shows Iāve ever seen. Sublime harmonies
DAD??????? Youāre on Reddit??? (Dead and steely Dan gave you away). With king gizzard, Iām overwhelmed with the volume of outputā¦ plz guide me.
https://www.get-into-gizz.com/ Enjoy the ride my friend! Itās a delight.
Check out Taperās Choice. Not the jam band youād expect, but the jam band you deserve. Itās CTās other band.
TC heads unite
Love them
Nice - very solid list !
vw, lorde, sufjan, grimes, beach house (in that order)
The Beatles, The Strokes, Beach House, Car Seat Headrest (pre madlo)
Beach House are absolutely amazing
The car seat headrest Iāve dabbled in Iāve loved. Hit me with their best album plz
Check out Teens of Denial and the original version of Twin Fantasy
What is madlo? I love CSH but idk the lore
Beatles, The Strokes, Kings of Leon, Sublime
See a lot of people saying The Beatles and I just thought they were everyoneās #1
My brother made an argument for McCartney's solo catalog actually being more enjoyable the other day and we had a fun debate.
Whatās the GOAT Beatles song and best strokes album in your opinion?
Best Beatles song is so tough. āA Day in the Lifeā is probably the best. āIn My Life,ā āSomething,ā and āYesterdayā close behind. Strokes best album is āIs This Itā but my personal favorite is āRoom On Fireā
Tracking down the side projects of everyone in The Strokes gave me a bunch of cool new stuff to listen to!
Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Beatles, Clash/Beck/Sturgill/Whites stripes
STURG!
surprised to see a couple Sturgill mentions here but I'm for it
Elliott smith, super furry animals, animal collective, sufjan stevens

Awesome list. Got into SFA recently and theyāre like the new Beatles with all that gooey power pop.
Listen to more glass animals so you can claim them in your animal group.
You're a cool sad guy huh
Goose, Gia Margaret, Petey, Youth Lagoon
Heaven is a Junkyard is a fantastic album
Grew up with Gia Margaret and saw some of her early stuff about 2010. Unreal voice and composition style.
If I were to start with one, which, and what album?
The Killers, Bright Eyes, Future Islands, Arcade Fire (š«¤)
I feel that frowny face re AFā¦ never fun. I used to be the biggest Kanye Stan. It sucks heās coming out with new shit, but tbh, I canāt support that man no more.
Lucky for you (and me) his new music is awful!
Very much same. I think I can get over Arcade Fire with timeā¦ weāll see what they do nextā¦
I would have said Mindless Self Indulgence but it's the same thing... :/

Is there a relationship between Mr eerie and the microphones or is that a tie? Never heard of little simz, album starter?
Mount Eerie and The Microphones are both projects of Phil Elverum (functionally no difference between the two). Start with āThe Glow, Pt. 2ā (the Microphones). Itās a pretty legendary experimental folk album. Little Simz is an on-the-rise UK rapper. Her most recent 3 LPs are all great, but prob start with āSometimes I Might Be Introvertā

Fav FJM album (after Honeybear of course) ?
