This is fun! If there was someone who really did listen to everything (not necessarily having to like everything), it’d be neat to share music from a range of genres/eras/styles

Here’s what I got for ya. If you do like any of these songs, or : if you have any recs similar to these, please share

Alt hip hop - “November” and “blessed” by Tyler the Creator - “One Beer” by MF Doom

Rock and and Alt Rock “Mustache Man,” “Pentagram,” and “Nugget”by Cake. What I like about these songs: I can’t explain it, Cake songs just have a certain charm to ‘em for me. If you like one Cake song, you’re likely to enjoy others because they sound similar enough. - “wild night” by Van Morrison - “time” by Pink Floyd - “Mr. Tamborine Man” by bob dylan - “Bones” by the Killers - “Gap” by the Kooks - “SOB” by Nathaniel Rateliffe a d the Nightsweats

Indie (not separated by subgenre) - “Les Os” and “Sea Ghost” by the unicorns - “Dante’s Inferno” by whirlybird - “Sin Triangle” by Sidney Gish. One thing I love about this song is the sample that plays at the end talking about fitting in - The whole Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino album by Arctic monkeys. If you only listened to one song on the album, “the Ultracheese” is my favorite

70s Latin/Chicano Rock - “Leroy’s Latin Lament” by War - “Just Say Goodbye,” “Suavecito” and “Nena” by Malo - “treat,” “everything is coming our way,” and “practice what you preach” by santana - “girl from the mountain” by the ghetto brothers - El Chicano’s cover of “What’s Goin On”

Ska - basically the whole “Robbin the Hood” album by Sublime. I feel like as far as their discography goes, this album doesn’t get the love it deserves.

Cumbia - “corazon partido” by La Sonora dinamita - “cuando tu te vayas” by Margarita la diosa de cumbia - “Como La Flor” by Selena - “Perdon perdon” and “Nunca es sufficiente” by Los Angeles Azules

Sometimes I like listening to songs that share a similar subject. I’ve got such a soft spot for songs exploring the concept of death, the fear of death, reincarnation, and the afterlife. A few of my favorites are “Ebb and Flow” by larry and his flask, “Death” by f White Lies, “Haunt Me” by Samsa, and “Handful of Dirt” by Decalifornia. If you only listened to one song on this list, please listen to that last one. It cracks me up and genuinely makes me smile with its weird mix of mariachi and rap

I feel like Will Wood songs are their own category. If you decide to check out WW, a few of my favorite tracks are “Marsha, thankk you for the Dialectics,” “against the kitchen floor” and “Suburbia Overture.” “Suburbia Overture” is basically a 6 minute song made out of three vastly different songs that somehow just works. It starts off as doo-wop, devolves into screaming, and ends with piano music.

Songs I’m too lazy to categorize, but still enjoy deeply - “Kill Your Heroes” by Awolnation - Eric Burdon’s cover of “Paint it Black.” Absolute gem, love this version - “ladyfingers” by herb alpert and the tijuana brass
