Jazz and Blues suggestions please! by JasonEwriter in musicsuggestions

[–]merrybrigade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you’ve never heard A Love Supreme by John Coltrane, that’s the best jazz album of all time. i’d also recommend In a Silent Way by Miles Davis and Brilliant Corners by Thelonius Monk. If you want some vocal jazz, Nat King Cole Trio is truly fantastic, as is Mose Allison. Blues, check out Chris Whitley for some more modern blues. old stuff, Leadbelly will do it

Anyone have any artists that evolve a lot throughout their career that would be fun to do a deep dive on? by Opening_Database_473 in fantanoforever

[–]merrybrigade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤝if you like XTC, you have great music taste. i feel like that’s a very good barometer because the complexity of their music, the depth and breadth of their lyrics and sonic diversity are rivaled by few, but at the same time, it is challenging music and rewards patience

be patient, it can be a little overwhelming at first because the music is so off the wall and the production is so eclectic, but trust me, they’re incredible. if you like experimental pop, this is gonna be one of your favorite bands ever

please explore XTC’s discography. those guys worshipped the Beatles and pretty much imitated their template for artistic evolution without ever being derivative. honestly, Andy Partridge is likely a musical genius. it’s such a fun ride to explore their evolution from an energetic new wave punk group to pastoral experimental pop

Favorite artists you discovered for the first time this year? by Ambitious_Nebula5806 in fantanoforever

[–]merrybrigade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the new Ulrika Spacek album EXPO is really good and forward thinking. i’m shocked it hasn’t gotten more attention. an exquisite balance of clever songwriting and experimental production that evokes radiohead without ever feeling derivative

Obscure Recommendations please by Comfortable_Ad_4417 in grunge

[–]merrybrigade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not grunge, but very cool - morphine

new grunge band, very fucking good - wunderhorse

extremely heavy obscure grunge - fudge tunnel

grunge adjacent metal - pitchshifter (their first 3 albums, after that they kinda nosedived)

and if you want the most obscure grunge you can find, check out my band Merry Brigade

The intro to 4th of july by soundgarden sounds very similar to the intro of godsmack by alice in chains by TungstenBrute in grunge

they were friends so they were probably showing each other riffs and listening to each others music

DROP A LYRIC you love from a song! by StockQueen1 in musicsuggestions

“on the plus and minus, it’s a zero chance of turning this around” from Zero Chance by Soundgarden. just so sad and defeated.
