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. (:

    Vundabar is one my favorite indie bands. I love their new stuff, but I’d give the album Gawk a try first.

    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.

      They are so good, and I do think underappreciated. I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ is one of the very few songs that I will always listen with the video on.

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.

    One song that recently has been putting me into a very good mood every time I put it on is “Read my mind” by the Killers.
