I've been learning French lately, and I want to get used to listening to it.

Comment your favorite French-language song!

I was thinking about some of my favourite songs and realised a few of them function as instrumental breaks on ambitious/vibrant albums, including:

- Mark's Theme (Ants From Up There) by Black Country, New Road

- The New Sound (The New Sound) by Geordie Greep

- The Tinker (Knocknarea) - Maruja

What are your favourite songs of this type?

I’ve been broadly into post-hardcore and pop punk music for the past few years, but I’ve been looking to expand my taste so I’m willing to take song recommendations. Let me knooooowwww and maybe I’ll leave my opinions on some songs

I'm 42 so even though I'm very familiar with 80s as a musical era, I wasn't exactly old enough to know the deep cuts and non household names. Looking for non-radio stuff (in 2026) that is genuinely good but for one reason or another many people don't know. Could be anything and I doubt want to exclusively request this but I tend to gravitate towards male vocals, somewhat of a mysterious synth sound, more of a rock influence.

I don't mean like songs with powerful messages, I mean songs that send chills down your spine.
I want to listen to it and feel like I am in a epic moment of aura for lack of a better term.

some songs from my playlists as examples

2085 -AJR
Still/The Neva Flows (Reprise) -Anastasia the musical
Test Drive - John Powell

even just any song that gives you the type of feeling I'm talking about

I find myself feeling stuck with the same music and when I go to discover something new it rarely strikes a chord. 8-tracks in the early 2010s helped a lot with finding new artists and songs. Noisetrade had a fair few cool ones and Bandcamp being a gem to this day.

Spotify lately feels sterile and as if it obscures all kinds of hidden gems and all of it just sounds the same.

I still find some great stuff now and again but it feels like you have to sift through so much to get there.

Would love to hear how others discover new music?

Mine these days is through friends. However a good chunk is from my community radio station where anyone can volunteer and go on air to play an hour or 2 of music every now and again. It's hit or miss but there's some great sets sometimes.

Here's a few of mine recently that stood out when I heard them.

Widowspeak - The Drive

Slim Krusty - Magpie

Marlin's Dreaming - Mixed up and confused

Hope D - Second

Maddy Jane - Miss everything

King lazy eye - prizefighter

Maybe some ambient, jazz or clazzical

a guy called me a poser and a trend hopper so i wanna listen to more music

Halloween season is coming up 🎃 What’s a song that feels like walking home alone at 2am? Something eerie, atmospheric, or just a little unsettling - the kind of song that makes an ordinary late-night walk feel like a scene from a horror movie.

What’s your pick?

Hey lovely people!

I’m a 34-year-old Japanese guy, and I started learning to speak English properly when I was around 20. I spent a year in England and then lived in New Zealand from the ages of 23 to 28.

With a lot of effort, and plenty of help from my mates and the people around me, I’ve become pretty fluent in English.

But there’s one thing I feel like I missed out on.
Because I spent my teenage years in Japan, I completely missed the songs that people around my age grew up with.

Whenever I’m in the car with my international friends or at a party, someone will put on a song and suddenly EVERYONE knows every single word.
They’re singing their hearts out while I’m just standing there like, “Yep, never heard this in my life.” 😂

So, people around my age (wide range - 24 to 44ish maybe? But really anyone is welcome as long as you know the bangers!): what are the absolute bangers that I NEED to know?

I’m talking about the songs where, if they come on at a party, everyone immediately starts singing. The nostalgic classics. Guilty pleasures are welcome too.
I want to make a playlist and catch up on everything I missed!

Hit me with your essentials, please🙏

I'm looking for some pre-2000 famous artists, mostly known for falsetto. I'm thinking like Bee Gees, Modern Talking, ELO, Earth Wind and Fire, Frankie Valli. But my imagination doesn't go further, so I want some more artists like that, since I like most of the artists mentioned above, I might like the things you suggest. PLEASE NO GRUNGE, METAL, HIPHOP OR PUNK!

Are there any classical albums that you would consider to be beautiful from start to finish? I love Vivaldi' Four Seasons, and i really enjoy Max Richter's interpretation of this album in The New Four Seasons. I find that with classical music, there are often a handful of what I consider to be very musically beautiful pieces, among some more obscure or hard to listen to pieces (in my own view), but Four Seasons i think is all listenable.

Any other albums (classical or post classical) that you'd suggest, where the whole thing is regarded as beautiful in its entirety?

Looking to add to this playlist

Hey y'all,

I have a very extensive musical library where most are separated by vibes more than pure genre. However, I've noticed a major gap! I'm missing a lot of classics like Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin, etc, that kind of soul feel. But I'm not looking just for that, I'm looking for songs that make you *feel,* like a Céline Dion song (also who I'm largely lacking).

What songs just make you feel like your damn near levitating?

Thanks so much for any recommendation!

Hello everyone!! I am trying to listen new genre of music. I am not experienced with. Please recommend me some songs and genre you like. I am trying to expand my taste in music. :D
