Edit: THANK YOU ALL! I am taking all recommendations into consideration and will be giving them a listen sometime. I was a little overwhelmed hence my lack of response, but I greatly appreciate what you’ve written. (-:

Yes, this is a “suggest me songs” post. Only because I don’t know which other community is more appropriate.

I’m looking to revamp my main playlist and clean out songs I don’t revisit all that often. I was hoping you all could suggest some songs OR albums based on my current taste. The other reason I make this post is because I fear I’ll go my entire life without hearing fantastically underrated albums, and I know lemmists to have taste.

That being said, here are some of my favourite artists and albums:

  • Lana Del Rey
  • Marina and the Diamonds
  • The Bravery
  • “Disintegration” by The Cure
  • Foreign Air
  • Saint Motel
  • “How to be a Human Being” by Glass Animals
  • Garbage
  • Madonna, especially the albums prior to the 00s
  • Palaye Royale
  • Vendredi sur Mer

I am additionally looking for artists similar to Crystal Castles, Com Truise, and Cults. Anything indie / electro / disco / jazz / poprock / pop-punk is welcome. Honestly, y’all don’t even have to take into consideration what I’ve just listed. Just give me the best you’ve got! Cheers. (:

    I guess whether or not they’re underrated depends on where you are, because IME Americans usually don’t know who they are but Europeans do, even though they’re an American band; but anyway Scissor Sisters is great if you haven’t checked them out. Their last album (Magic Hour) is their weakest IMO, but it still has some good songs.

    I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ is pretty representative of their upbeat songs, and Return to Oz for their slower songs.

    Such good suggestions already. I am going to go in another direction - I like all the stuff you do, here are some artists from different genres not in your list, that I think you would like:

    Durand Jones and the Indications

    Leon Bridges

    King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

    Fiona Apple, my kids are obsessed with her lately and it kind of opened my eyes to how good she really is.

    And in the genres you do already love, Gossip (I am loving the new album) and Perfume Genius.

    Oh I have a few playlists you may like to poke through. Feel free to also save these, I don’t mind sharing.

    Indie Sadgirl Vibes (moody folk/indie/pop)

    Kodak Daydreams (chill shoegaze/dreampop)

    I Hate Goth (~15hr goth/industrial/synthpop megamix)

    I prefer to recommend artists over songs or albums. Based on what you mentioned, I think you’d like Sevdaliza, The Pretty Reckless, Visions of Trees, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Elita, The Polish Ambassador, Collide

    I’d recomment checking listen brainz’ tools, like this one https://listenbrainz.org/explore/music-neighborhood/ which shows relative artists. Or make an account there (beware; it publicly shows your listents with an accuracy of a minute, not just a day). It nice becase you can also find people with similar tastes.

    Have fun exploring!
