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.

      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.

    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.

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

    Linda Perhacs, e.g. “Hey, Who Really Cares?”

    The Joy Formidable, e.g. “The Ever-Changing Spectrum Of A Lie.”

    Bjork, e.g. “Bachelorette” or “Immature.” Really anything from Homogenic.

    This Town Needs Guns, e.g. “26 Is Dancier Than 4.”

    My Morning Jacket, e.g. “It Beats For You.”

    Of Montreal, e.g. “It’s Different For Girls.”

    The Moody Blues, e.g. “Your Wildest Dreams.” They had four decades of killer songs with no flawless album.

    Supertramp, e.g. “The Logical Song.”

    Animal Collective, e.g. “Did You See The Words.”

    Jimmy Eat World, e.g. “Believe In What You Want.” Clarity is the best album that ever got a band kicked off their label.

    We Were Promised Jetpacks, e.g. “Conductor.”

    Band Of Horses, e.g. “Blue Beard.”

    This is some of the stuff I’ve been listening to pretty consistently over the last year or so. I am excited to listen to everyone else’s suggestions because I need new tunes
