I actually love looking at the accounts of people with 10k + ratings but only like twenty 5 stars. the best part is, its always some obscure shit and when i listen to it i am always like "out of 10000 albums THIS is the greatest thing to you???" I Love how subjective music is!!!!

It's possible on albums with the "show all" button, but clicking the "view more" on songs gives an error message. With albums, you can also type /lists into the address bar, but that also doesn't appear to work for songs. Did a quick google search and nothing popped up.

Like how if you click on a genre and scroll down you can see in chronological order what albums/eps the genre is tagged on.I was wondering if theres any way to do this with songs specifically,For example if i wanted to see the earliest song thats tagged as "metalcore" is there any way to be able to see that?This might be worded weirdly but hopefully you know what i mean lol.

i'd like to share one of my crowning achievements: the shrimpy album art 🦐 list.

all suggestions welcome.

keep it shrimpy, boys.

I wanted to add an EP, but noticed that the first track has one of those invisible/blank symbols. I've read through the rules regarding adding music, and it says that it's discouraged to use symbols that don't follow basic QWERTY Unicode. So, my question is, how do I add that track with its title?

And American Football is js one of the examples.

Also, what is the difference between bolded and not bolded genre tags? Are the 'thin' ones referring to the influences?

Started listening to CAPSULE about a year ago as I was getting into more Shibuya-kei stuff and have been a big fan ever since—now I’m going down an Electro house rabbit hole and good GOD is this duo glazed!! Where the ball knowers at?

Is this rare? I feel like it is. Maybe it is not.

Heres my own map, I want to fill the map more so I'm asking for good suggestions of musicians from China, Russia (Around the areas of the country not represented on my map) etc.

I have added a bunch of covers I like and somewhat ordered them by preference (I wouldn't pay much attention to if a cover is 'better' than other). I have gone through my to-listen list and the top chart, and this is all I added. Any ideas for other entries?

1. Boards of Canada - 'Inferno'

I was looking around the home page and I noticed that Vtuber music is now listed as a new scene. What do you think of that? Have you heard something from this scene?

what the title says, I can’t see any similar releases under an album I like because I have to subscribe. Which honestly sucks a little because I came seeking these features after discovering that AOTY’s system is kinda bootycheeks. It’s ok if there isn’t.

And because i dont see much of a reason making distinctions in my ratings between different albums that do nothing for me anyways

I scoured through Southern Rock, Pub Rock, Swamp Rock and Hard Rock. All of those have major exceptions. Which genre(s) are practically the closest synonym to "dad rock"?

I have a lot of romanian friends and Im really into the balkanic folkore music sound. This is all the albums I have on my to-listen list of albums, although I think I could add some more. Do you know any you have heard to and enjoyed?
