If you don’t use Spotify, what’s your favorite artist and song right now?
They called me a vampire for listening to too much “emotional, atmospheric music.”
and you’re not going to SHARE what this emotional, atmospheric music was?
Apologies.
I believe the responsible parties are: Lorn, less.people, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, Death in Vegas, Shlohmo, Ramin Djawadi, and Gustavo Santaolalla.
Not really my jam but I tracked through a few tracks of each band. I will say threw things.
- The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble is a fire band name.
- Something about that song they have Embers feels nice.
- Their description overall was very apt.
Samhain Labs is my jam off that album. TKDE is something else, that’s for sure.
I suppose you’re right, just wasn’t expecting to earn ‘Vampire’ today. Looks like I’ll be watching Louis and Lestat this evening.
You and I might be music brethren. Think that about sums up my year in music.
My wife wrecked my algorithm. 🤣
My kid did mine too. My #3 song was “Everything is Awesome” from the Lego Movie.
Uh huh. Your kid. Sure. 🤣
If you could turn back time
If you could find a way
You’d take back cher.
My top artist was Tenacious D, and my top song was Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai.
He does not need a microphone. His voice is fucking POWERFUL!!!
Funnily enough, that was my most listened song from them! I got to see them do it live during the Spicy Meatball Tour, and his voice is fucking (fucking) POWERFUL!!!
That is epic! Jealous.
Most played artist: Yellowcard
Most played song: Sharks - Imagine Dragons
Every time someone says I should check out Imagine Dragons I just start to imagine dragons. Then I’ve got not time for music.
I feel like I need to revisit Yellowcard, one of their albums got heavy play in my early teenagehood.
They just went back on limited tour for 20th anniversary of Ocean Avenue and I got to finally see them in concert. It was amazing. They also said that they were thinking about coming out with some new stuff.
For the first time in many years I’ve no EDM in my top five…feels weird. And apparently, I like A Day to Remember a lot more than I thought.
What were your other top genres? Why do you think you’ve transitioned away from EDM? I feel like I’ve been slowly listening to EDM more over the years (and pop is always my staple), but this year R&B managed to sneak its way into my top five.
Why? Access probably. I get exposed to a lot of EDM from friends and I do really love it a lot. My favorite right now is Apashe.
On the flip side, I’m older. Radio is gone far as I’m concerned so my rock/metal taste have just kind of sat there until this year I got annoyed and for a while made a concerted effort to find new music I like. But now that list has sort of stagnated again. I just don’t have the time.
Radio sucked, and continues to suck. But it did act like a kind of filter for the previous generations. With it gone those few of us who are still interested in new music have a harder time.
King Gizz, Zappa, and TMBG are all favorites of mine!
Apparently you’d love it in Santa Cruz
Nice! You good good taste 👌
For me Delain is my top artist, and Surgery from The Vincent Black Shadow was my top song!
I have no idea how that is. But our usernames are…related. So, I felt compelled to respond.
edit: that Vincent Black Shadow song is pretty good
The Vincent Black Shadow is fantastic but they broke up way too early and only have two albums :(
I tried to find someone with a higher play time lol
Not easy to do. Breaking 100k minutes would be at the upper edge of my Spotify listening limit.
Reasonable! I usually need music to focus on work. I also have music going any time I’m driving, for sure. And sometimes I even have it going when I sleep–although, I don’t think I did a lot of night music in 2023. Definitely more 2022. I think my number was in the 180s last year, maybe because I’ve been watching more Youtube videos this year. I should cut Youtube out and go back to music–probably a healthier use of my time lol.
Just topped ya ;). I listen pretty much the whole day.
Killing it, lol. The Aviators must be furries haha
Man this looks like the bins when I worked at a record store in 2005.
Thumbs up for Circa!
My most listened band was Linkin Park, and my most listened song was Intergalactic - Beastie boys.
Nice very good ones!
Linkin Park too with Lost as the most played song.
My top artist is King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and the top song is Magenta Mountain by them.
I wonder if there’s any gizzhead here lol
Everyone’s a gizzhead even if they don’t know it yet
GILAAA! GILAAA! GILAAA! WOOOOOO
King Gizz was number 1 on my list this year too. Honestly, surprised how many I’m seeing in this thread lol
*Raises hand
Favorite new album though, probably afterthoughts by red vox
👏👏🤣🤣
I use YouTube Music. Here is my recap:
That’s cool that YouTube started doing a recap. It’s fun.
Upvote because you’re in Berkeley or Cambridge
