Mousecore's Thread of Musical Merriment

I've hit a rut with my consumption of music. Once upon a time I used to avidly collect records and keep up with albums the moment they were released, but now I just shuffle through the same playlists and ignore Spotify's frustratingly boring recommendations. So rather than let a soulless corporate algorithm try and find new shit for me, I wanted to turn to the great people of Cystia. What are your favorite albums? Can be in the moment, can be an all-time favorite for you. I'm not picky about genre whatsoever (and yes I actually mean that and won't sputter some "b-but not country and rap!" bs) so whatever you're into, I'd like to hear it. Hell I might even use this thread to review these albums as I go along.

DSotM is a classic. I like American Idiot as well but I don't think I've actually listened to a full Billy Joel album before, huh. Might be one of my next listens. Channel Orange is my favorite Frank Ocean album though. Pyramids is peak Frank (and now will forever make me think of Shadow of a God-King whenever I listen to it, thanks Fluxion). You got taste big dawg.

Thanks mouse!

I know it's kind of a weird blend between classic rock, r and b, and alt/punk but I came across each of these albums during different periods of my life, and they all really spoke to me lol.

Glad you like DSotM, American Idiot, and Channel Orange, check out Billy Joel as well! Just the way you are, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, and Vienna are quite good, and they're really nice easy listening music. Christopher Cross and Chicago are also good for that Billy Joel soft/mellow rock style that I really enjoy listening to when I'm trying to relax.

Lady Lamb's Ripely Pine. Scratches my brain in a way I can't explain. Sort of Folk/Rock combo if you're into that. It's not for everyone.

Sombr's I Barely Know Her is a bit reliant on tropes in music, but good for brainless catchy breakup songs.

ABBA's Gold. No explanation needed, it's ABBA.

Yeah, I like a lot of music, so really there's a lot of diversity in my enjoyment of music and I often try out new artists. Lady Lamb is a favorite, though. Been to four of her concerts, they're always fun.

If I were to list off all the albums I like, we'd be here forever, lol. I'll give some artists I like listening to instead.

  • Karu does good epic orchestral remixes
  • "Weird Al" Yankovic is always fun to listen to.
  • Joe Hisaishi for any orchestral/instrumental. He does a lot of music for Studio Ghibli as well.
  • Pentatonix has done a lot of a cappella pop remixes. It's mainly Christmas music, last I checked.
  • Peter Hollens also does a cappella, but in a wide variety.
  • Nickel Creek does bluegrass. They also have an album named Nickel Creek that has a lot of good songs.

I really like BÖC "Fire of Unknown Origin" and "Secret Treaties," "Versus" by Emarosa, "Disintegration" by The Cure, "Return of Saturn" by No Doubt, "Humbug" by the Arctic Monkeys, "Social Cues" and "Unpeeled" by Cage the Elephant, and all of Pierce the Veil's discography.
Also the music Prokofiev wrote for Romeo and Juliet.
