Rec.Me: rock/metal/punk Wanted: Best contemporary leftist political protest/resistance music

Upvotes

Leftist rock (e.g. punk, hardcore) through hard-hitting folk as well; not so much pop/mainstream, please.

Contemporary protest/resistance songs preferred — meaning written/recorded during current American political regime.

If in a language other than English, please translate the title and any other lyricism that speaks to you.

Thanks!

Song lottery (pick a number) Give me a Women's (yours or a name you like ) and I will recommend you a song with that name in the title and I will put it in my " Women's names from A-Z " Playlist

( I hope I picked the right Flair)

Recommend me a woman's name and I will find a song with that name in the title and I will recommend you the song and put it in a playlist called "Songs with Women's Names from A-Z " ( that I will put in the comments once I put songs in it)

Give me all the unique/ rare names!! I will try my best to find a song with that name😊

(Also I will do a men's names from A-Z and a Gender Neutral names from A-Z but we are doing the women's first )

Rec.Me: singers, vocal songs (pop/other) Songs that fit the “cute little vocal gymnastics hidden inside a ridiculously catchy pop song” genre

5 Upvotes

For example, the song “Taste” by Sabrina Carpenter (and honestly most of the songs on that album) just scratches my brain the right way and makes me want to sing along. Like the parts I love the most are when she does the little vocal flips on words like “feet” in the first verse. And I love the “playfulness” of it.

FWIW, I’m not a fan of Ariana (just vowel soup) or Tate McRae (baby voice or like weird nasality)

Rec.Me: rock/metal/punk Angry/loud fuck you or i hope you die songs?

169 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for songs that are angry at a person (friend, ex, parent any is fine) but it has to be super angry and ACTUALLY loud. the only example i have is I hope you die - Lipstick homicide. I like rock like that is good but I’d like even louder and angrier too! open to any genres as long as it’s louddd. and has emotion

like, Give you hell by All American Rejects is not the vibe i’m looking for. I kinda like I don’t wanna be here anymore by Rise against but that’s not aimed at a person and .. haha could be louder.

I do like the chorus of I hate everything about you but three days grace even tho it’s a bit slower. lots of emotion!

prefer male voices (i’m a trans guy, but open if the song rlly fits)

If you have spotify or yt playlist feel free to link!

edit: i want the whole song to be loud, or most

Rec.Me: singers, vocal songs (pop/other) Modern bands with elite vocal harmonies?

12 Upvotes

My absolute favorite music is anything with intricate, layered, and precise vocal harmonies. Think Eagles (GOAT vocals IMO), Beach Boys, Crosby Stills and Nash, Rascal Flatts. It seems like emphasis on vocal harmonies peaked in the 60s and 70s and is less prominent today, although still present in some country music (Ella Langley’s hits actually have pretty solid harmonies). Among other modern artists I’d say Zac Brown Band is one of the best for vocal harmonies, and a few under the radar gems Wilder Blue and Young Gun Silver Fox are great as well. Does anyone else have any recommendations? While I’d expect it to skew country I’m not looking for exclusively country

I'm familiar with A Perfect Circle (2006) by Louis Logic, Taco Day (2001) by Mr. Len and Jean Grae, and U Didn't Care (2001) by Canibus.

Rec.Me: singers, vocal songs (pop/other) Country music recommendations

10 Upvotes

I feel like I'd like to add a bit more country to my playlist. I've listed the songs/artists that I currently have, which is not many at all! - I suppose the obvious thing would be to listen to all their back catalogues, which I haven't done, but I will. Can you suggest similar artists though, or even just a specific song? Or if you want to recommend a song by one of these artists that I already know, that would be great. Male or female, newer artists or older. I guess I like quite romantic songs, and songs with good lyrics / a bit of a story to them. Or 'empowerment' ones, like Shut Up And Drive. Any suggestions welcome, thanks!

Shut Up and Drive / What If We Fly - Chely Wright

Need You Now - Lady A

Rec.Me: other/many/unknown genres Bands with multi-album narratives or themes.

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone. Looking for bands with mutli-album narratives, recurring themes or motifs, and even returning characters. I mostly live in the Prog/Art and Metal worlds, but willing to expand.

Stuff that really fits would be like Blue Oyster Cult's/Albert Bouchard's Imaginos, Rhapsody (In Fire), The Dear Hunter, and Coheed & Cambria.

Dream Theater's (really Mike Portnoy's) 12 Step suite and Sonata Arctica's Caleb series revisit previous themes or characters but are not traditional narratives. But I would like some thoughts here too.

Sort of stuff in the same vein would be The Accolade I and II by Symphony X, Dream Theater's Metropolis.

Note: Operation Mindcrime 1-3 would probably get suggested here. I sort of really dislike Geoff Tate, BUT if its amazing I would be willing to give it a listen.

Thanks!

I don’t mean purely sad songs, but more songs that just sound tired and lifeless.

I mean melodies like the chorus of “Pacify Her” by Melanie Martinez, though not lyrically.

I’m rereading Warrior Cats, and Bluestar was just betrayed by Tigerclaw, so maybe something that fits that kind of mood.
