I’m watching “The real reason algorithms are bad for art” by Digging the greats and can’t remember the last time I asked real humans for recommendations for music. At one point, he is going around asking people of artists/albums that they recommend. I thought that was a cool idea. Then I thought, what if I asked lemmy/mastodon/ect and see what you all recommend?

Who is your favorite artist and what song/album would you recommend?

I’m looking to expand my horizons a bit.

I’ll start.

There’s a local band called the red coats. I think they only have one album. I can’t find a Bandcamp link but their music is here should you like to hear them. My wife and I saw them live at tiny little shops.

    Older rock: Red hot chili peppers- Zephyr song, or, Dark Necessities.

    Goofy/fun: Ninja sex party (NSP)- Parent’s house

    The problem for me with suggesting music is that I really like all my music so I just want to recommend it all. There’s too many to suggest!

      Dark Necessities just came out a few years ago. Blood Sugar Sex Magic is still my favorite album from them, and that you can safely call older rock, although I’d categorize it more as funk.

        I have no idea how to categorize music, it seems everyone defines it by their own standards so I just wrote down something I felt generally categorized it.

        Those are my recommendations nonetheless
