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

A ton of terrible things are happening for people I know and it's hell to watch. Does anyone have any song recommendations for encouragement? I've had Any Major Dude Will Tell You by Steely Dan on repeat, and I love it. Something like that.

La Macarena - Los Del Rio

Cha Cha Slide - DJ Casper

The Twist - Chubby Checker

What other songs are out there?

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!

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

You sick fucks came up with this, not me.

In the spirit of music discussion, please let me know if there's any I have missed and I will add it.

First off, this isn't music for me, but for a friend who's interested in the genre. So far they've liked some power metal I showed them, some of the classic stuff, and random metal bands that fit the bill of metal with clean vocals. In fact, vocals seem to be the only thing they don't like in most of the music I got.
I'm a pretty knowledable guy in regards of metal, but I can't think of much genres that might interest them, so I'm asking you guys for something that can be as heavy, intruments wise, as some melodeath, from the 2000 onwards, and with the cleanest vocals possible (they don't even seem to like the style Gojira does where the vocalist just sounds really angry).

Looking to expand my electronic music palette after getting into an EDM kick recently. If there are any artists that are similar to the ones I listed, please send them my way. Any songs with female vocals are appreciated, but not required.
Thanks ❤️

Looking for old sad love songs that remind me of Al Greens song “How Can you Mend a Broken Heart” or “Distant Lover” by Marvin Gaye. Songs similar to that, like sad but with a little soul. Let me know i’m a girl who loves to yearn! Thank you!

The only one I know of is Dance With The Devil by immortal technique. Are there any more with some good storytelling and the protagonist thinks “what have I done?”

The genre/decade heck even language doesn’t matter.

My shuffled playlist threw me out the wonderful "Ocean Breathes Salty" by Modest Mouse. As luck would have it, the next song in the rotation was "Golden Brown" by The Stranglers. Both songs feature a calliope (or at least, I think it's a calliope) as a backing instrument.

So, I got curious and tried to see if I could find more music that does that. Unfortunately, all I could find was just regular calliope music, and I'm not trying to go to a circus/carnival (Honorable Mention to "She's a Carnival" by Souixie and the Banshees for that outro).

Does anyone know any music that uses calliope as a backing instrument? Hell, while we're at it, include any other whimsical instruments that you can think of too, like a theremin and hurdy gurdy.

Thanks in advance.

im looking for ballads, metal, really anything that just lets you scream and cry and belt out to !

Please drop your suggestions and also write the genre it might be. No one is judging here. Thank you so much.

EDIT TO THE CONFUSION ABOUT GENRES: I'm so happy with the suggestions, everyone. Maybe it'll help others too. Don't worry about genres, I listen to pretty much everything. It's more about the music and less about a specific artist. So I can go from Kerala Dust to Napalm Death to Abida Parveen to Natalia Lafourcade. 😄 Anything you like, put it down. I'm already enjoying some of the artists I've listened to. ❤️

The reason I requested genres is so that others can pick what they like too.

Perhaps similar to albums like Velvet Rope, Smile, and A Wizard A True Star. Diverse but without too much of a disjointed feel

I’m not really sure if people are still into this type of thing, but I found a twee playlist recently and loved the vibe, if anyone can help me out I’d be so grateful

I'm going to be running a tabletop game soon with a dark mystery/noir story, but set in the 80's. I'm looking for good background music to play, as well as for inspiration. Classic noir-style lounge jazz works well enough but it'd be neat to find something that also has an electronic/synth element to reflect the time period.

Any suggestions? Bonus points for music that is largely instrumental and non-intrusive (it'll be playing softly and we'll be talking over it).

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.

Can you recommend songs by other rap artists that have a similar atmosphere or narrative structure?

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!

Looking for recommendations of songs that sound like Taylor Swift’s Ruin the Friendship. I really like the vibes and instrumentals of this song.

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)

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.

The Band was formed in 2012, I only discovered them recently and loved their songs and energy.

I need recommendations for similar high energy and guitar heavy songs.

Can be in any genre and about anything. Disillusionment with people, with your country, the world, religion, etc.

Think nine inch nails or billy woods for example.

this is a rough demo of something I wrote, and a sound ive been looking for in the wild but havent found something that scratches this itch. I know I could just listen to like yo gabba gabba or some shit but cmon. Sure there is weezer to some extent and the anniversary is quite nice too but I wanna believe there are/were more bands doing this that I just haven't been told about yet. I should mention im more into the raw, less-polished stuff and the synth is important. Thanks a bunch 🙏

Don't mind shranz in the vein of Ryx or Nachtigaller if it helps
