You there! Yes, you! I want your help to find new songs and artists to listen to! I'm one of those people who proudly boasts they will listen to anything and I like to think I mean it too. From orchestral to musicals to hyperpop to heavy metal, I'll give anything a try!

I want to hear about your favorite songs and albums to give me something new to listen to at work!

If "everything" is a little too intimidating, I've always said I really enjoy "cinematic" music. If I can picture an AMV or epic movie scene in my head to it I'm near guaranteed to like it!

I'm also especially looking for new country, metal, and folk music to enjoy since I think there's a lack of that in my library at the moment

Haha, I'll have to put together a playlist of the Crane Wives and listen to it later

@Cyeayt Listened to 'Vulture' and I liked it! I kept expecting it to delve into metal, a lot of the first half of this song had an almost "tense" sort of feeling? Like it was always faking you out with a beat drop. I liked how it kinda blended a "indie-folk" sound with punk-like vocals. Not sure if that makes sense, but it's what it reminded me of lol. Either way, I enjoyed it!

As for 'Starburner,' I feel like I've heard of Steam Powered Giraffe before?? Not sure where since I don't recognize any of their songs lol. Anyways, on to the song itself: very fun! I love space-punk/space-vibe songs so so much (Starset my beloved <3) so this was a very enjoyable listen! My sibling recommended me a different "space opera" a while ago (The Bifrost Incident) and it was fun! An interesting mixture between podcasts, traditional songs, and musicals combined into something a little more experimental! All that to say, definitely saving The Vice Quadrant to listen to while I'm working tomorrow!

Thanks for the recs! :D

@crumchylettuce Oh man, Mayday Parade mention just slammed me back to my middle school self lol. Of all their albums, I've definitely heard more from "A Lesson in Romantics" than any of their others, but I haven't listened to the whole thing, I'll have to put some more of their songs on my lists!

I came across Poor Mans Poison after a few of their songs blew up online so I've only really heard their popular songs ("Feed the Machine" and "Hell's Comin' With Me") but I'll give "Providence" a listen through!

Thanks for the suggestions! :D

@Newtinmpls Ahh Malukah! I came across her for her Skyrim music, such a beautiful voice! I look forward to checking out those two songs! And Rasputin is certainly a classic and already in my liked songs lol

Never heard of S.J. Tucker before, but I listened to those two songs! "Cheshire Kitten" was fun! I love Alice in Wonderland and I always love seeing interpretations of it, this was certainly no exception. It was a catchy tune and the message of the song was fun! Saved! As for "KashKash" I liked it a lot. I liked how the repeating verses became more and more complex as the song went on, adding more voices and instruments to build towards the conclusion. It added a sense of... almost tension? to the song, as it physically built itself up and up, very well done. A simple concept but well-executed and a great listen

Thanks for the suggestions! :D
