@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.

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.

@beemo For anything, or?

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.

@SilentE Interesting. I've actually watched that anime before but I can't it's theme songs, tbh. Thanks, btw.

I listened to a variety of genres in early 2000s from blues, jazz, rock, r&b, hip-hop, metal, rock, video games/movies osts even pop songs at the time. But I transitioned to anime OP/ED then to visual kei/jmetal

I listen to Jmetal mostly but for nostalgias sake, I listen to the music I used to listen to

Since Life is Strange 2 is coming out this week I'd thought I'd share my "alternative soundtrack" Spotify playlist for the first game and Before the Storm that I made. Let us know what you think.

Parcels, really digging them.

I almost feel out of place with my tendency to just listen to pop music. I've never been able to really get into another genre. Just give me some female singers singing high notes with beautiful vocals in ballad or catchy pop song form and I'm all good. Not at all into the "chill pop" popular nowadays, though.
