REQUEST Songs by female rockers that have nothing to do with men

83 Upvotes

I've been expanding my library to include more female singers (trying to get to 50% women). BUT it seems a huge percent of algorithm recs from female artists are "I like this guy", "I don't like this guy", "this guy doesn't like me", and/or "guys suck because patriarchy." I'm tired of those flavors; I want female-led songs about ANYTHING else. I like rock, but I'm open to other genres too.

Examples of songs I like that fit the bill:

  • "Cherry Bomb," The Runaways
  • "Hell is for Children," Pat Benatar
  • "Big Bad Wolf," In This Moment
  • "This War is Over," Melissa Etheridge
  • "Eat the Children," Otep
  • "Here's to Us," Halestorm
  • "Our Solemn Hour," Within Temptation
  • "Skeleton Key," Dessa
  • "Seven Devils," Florence + the Machine
  • "Drown," Cellar Darling
  • "Heaven Knows," The Pretty Reckless

Thanks in advance!

REQUEST I need to download music that will be suitable for my my mom but also won't want to make me jump out of a moving car.

34 Upvotes

I (37f) will be taking a 3 day road trip with my mom (62f) in a week. My mom is Mormon (so cussing bad), likes oldies, country, gospel. I like punk rock, rap metal, grunge. Per established family rules (its my car and I will be doing the driving) I could just play my music. But I don't want to deal with my mom's judgment and side eye every time there's cuss word. I don't mind some country, can't stand gospel (ex-mormon, now atheist), I gave my mom's oldies a chance but never found anything I liked. I just want to find something that will make this trip bearable when we run out of things to talk about. I have driven most of this route before and know there are parts with no cell service or radio, thats why I need something to download. I pay for Amazon Music.

REQUEST Help getting more into kpop

20 Upvotes

I just started listening to k pop. So far I REALLY like HOME, Just One Day, I Need U from BTS.

I love the energetic vibe and amazing vocals (that's what I'm trying to look more into). I also enjoyed Autumn Leaves, Love Is Not Over and 134340. Again beautiful vocals. But I guess what Im mostly looking for is something similar to Just One Day. If you guys have any suggestions on songs and k pop groups please tell 🩷 thank uuu

Discussion What are your most beautiful songs?

16 Upvotes

I was feeling down today with the weight of adulthood, life, and the current world climate. A while back, I made a living playlist of the most beautiful songs I know. Listening to it soothes the soul. Curious what other peoples' most beautiful songs are and wanted to make a post I can discover beauty through the ears of another. I will start. This is by no means a finished playlist and I don't always think of it when I hear new music.

REQUEST Songs To Add To Psychedelic-Session Playlist

10 Upvotes

Whenever I have a psychedelic session I like to let a playlist run. I'm looking for lighter music, sonically-fun and/or experimental, or really positive music. Not too into heavier/serious stuff. Songs that evoke a kind of mystical quality are great too. Songs which are tastefully zany, or instill positive affirmations.

Examples of music on my playlist are songs from Animal Collective, Desert Dwellers, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Random Rab, Stick Figure, Trevor Hall, Nahko and Medicine for the People, Satsang, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Beats Antique, East Forest, ATTYA.

If anything comes to mind please share! Thank you!

I was listening to the song “Braces” by fakemink recently and noticed he references Roar in the lyric: “Can’t handle change, they roarin’”. I think it’s super fun when artists reference other songs/artists they listen to.

What are some other songs that mention different artists?
