@kyleforrester87 Rock & electronic is fine. WTF is prog rap? Or is that what folk are calling experimental hip-hop these days?

@KALofKRYPTON haha I had to check it was a genre too, I don't really think it is. To be honest these labels confuse me a bit, but I am more of a post rock kinda guy. As for electronic I'll go for most genres.

@kyleforrester87 I don't mid a bit of experimental hip hop. Always feels closer the roots of the form than most other rap genres these days.

Does anyone have suggestions good goth rock (or other genres with a goth spin I suppose ), I’m interred in trying it out, but I’m not sure where to start.

@Jaz007

Probably best to start with Sisters Of Mercy... You've probably heard something by them along the way.

@KALofKRYPTON Thanks, I just got some songs off of their greatest hits album. I'll let you know what I think.

Temple of Love and This Corrosion are pretty much all you need to listen to

@Kidfried A very belated reply but my album of the year so far is Jon Hopkins - Singularity.

I love a bit of electronic music but am a bit fussy when it comes to that genre but I've listened to this album so much (and loads of the previous album Immunity as well after only discovering him this year). Four Tet's album from last year was also fantastic.

@Thrillho Have you tried Kavinski? His Outrun album is a delight.

Some gothic rock stuff I can recommend:

  • The Cure, just listen to their album Seventeen Seconds. It's the cornerstone album in the genre.
  • The new MGMT album (Little Dark Age, 2018) actually is a great gateway album for gothic rock. Sure, it is poppy, but the gothic vibe is undeniable as well.
  • Two other favs of mine: "Siouxsie and the Banshees - Juju" and "Bauhaus - Mask".

Warpaint! They got a psychedelic rock / dreampop vibe going on, which I really like. I've been following them for a couple of years now and watching these girls jam never gets old.

Here is a Yours Truly live session from 2011. Their newer work is great too but their album "The Fool" got me into them and was defining for their sound. Enjoy!

Have been doing some travel lately and so although my gaming time suffered, I listened to a lot of music. I like many kinds of music but especially have been in the mood for classic rock lately.

I submit these 5 songs that you simply can’t turn off when the come on the radio:

Lynyrd Skynyrd - “Freebird”
Boston - “More Than A Feeling”
Scorpions- “Rock You Like a Hurricane”
Cheap Trick - “I Want You to Want Me”
Rush - “Limelight”

So, on the 16th this month I'll be going to The Bomb Factory in Dallas to see the Japanese band Scandal. It's a four piece girl band that's made themes for Fullmetal Alchemist and Bleach. They kinda sound like your usual pop rock, but they've had consistent quality over the years and are probably my second favorite Japanese band (only behind Asian Kung-Fu Generation).

Here's two songs, Shunkan Sentimental and Image. The former was their song for Fullmetal Alchemist and the latter is one of my personal favorites.

@DerMeister Have fun. I don't know the band, but watching music live is the best thing anyway, and the songs sound pretty cool.

For some strange reason I find myself having this band stuck in my head for the last week. I wonder why:

Recently I've been listening a lot to the 2017 St. Vincent album, Masseduction. The album has been described as a more 'alternative' Taylor Swift record, mostly because it has the same producer as 1989, I think.

Don't care about these kind of comparisons too much, but it's very clear that the album is way more poppy and radio friendly than her previous rock albums.

What are you lot listening too rn?

I'm old school and still like physical releases and am currently waiting on the delivery of;

re:member - Olafur Arnalds

All That Must Be - George FitzGerald

Kin (Original Soundtrack) - Mogwai

Dance Music - Mastersystem

Three predominantly instrumental artists and then one by a band I've not listened to. The latter is bittersweet as the band contains Scott Hutchison, the lead singer of Frightened Rabbit (one of my favourite bands), who committed suicide earlier this year so it's weird that I'll never hear it live...

@WanderingBullet - They updated and said it wasn't from Kingdom Hearts but Glass Sky from Tokyo Ghoul. I need to listen to that track soon. I really like what I've heard from the new Eminem album, it gave me chills as it reminded me a lot of the old Em.
