give them to me.
now that spotify is accessible via the quick menu on ps4 i'm finding myself listening to a lot more music while i game. i'm not asking for music recommendations i'm asking for gaming music recommendations. think that are good to listen to while playing a few hours of rocket leauge.
i created one playlist in particular that i'm looking to expand on. currently it contains:
Daft punk
deadmau5
tyco
it's not a genre i listen to a ton but it is a great genre for rocket league. so who am i missing?
kay kay thanks.
**all recommendations should be on the spotify.
well this thread crashed and burned a horrible death. how is it that we can have such active TV and movie threads but no one ever talks music. for me personally the media priority order is:
1. music
2. video games
3. tv shows
4. movies
5. books
anyways,.. even if i'm just talking to myself...
I know i'm quite LTTP but i've been listening to a lot of billie eilish lately. hadn't heard of her until bad guy got big and i kind of quickly dismissed it as "one hit wonder". bad guy is like,.. kind of an anomaly in her catalog but i got to say i really like her music.
Honestly i never even knew this thread existed till today. lol
Love me some music. I'm big on soundtracks, but my favorite genres to listen to are indie and indie folk. Top favorite artist is Lord Huron. And then really enjoy Caamp, Sons of the East, Goth Babe, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Oliver Tree, Bears Den, KALEO, Hippo Campus. Plenty more but those are my main listens.
Oh and Hozier and Wilderado

i went looking for one and the search capabilities of this site directed me to this thread i started in 2016. i retitled it and bumped it. originally i was just asking for recommendations but i figured rebranding it would be more fun than starting a new one.
of the music you listened to the only one i already listen to is hozier. i love them. <3
going to spend the afternoon letting some of those other artists play.
This is why lol
Music Appreciation Thread! (https://vizioneck.com/forum/index.php?topic=77.0)
that thread is pretty dead too. maybe that one is more "official" but it doesn't change the fact that we cant seem to keep a music conversation going like we can for tv or movies.
first up: Lord Huron's "long lost".
first up: Lord Huron's "long lost".
That album and strange trails are my two all time favorites. I think Strange Trails beats out Long Lost for me
I think music is a little harder to talk about.
There's lots of things to talk about with games. You have game shows like E3. You have delay announcements. We can talk about the games themselves.
We can certainly talk about music, but I also feel like music is more individualized than games. There are millions of songs out there. There are probably pockets of overlap. We probably all have heard Taylor Swift songs, but there's lots of other entire genres that no one else here might even be interested in.
I really like Japanese pop.
Chances are good I am probably the only one who has listened to these two songs.
Music is kind of different I feel like from movies or tv shows. I feel like I have way more specific moods for what kind of music I want to listen to at any given moment, than I do for games or TV shows.
I personally feel Lord Huron has one of the more unique sounds out there.

This x1000. Any given day i have so many different moods of what i want to listen to.

sorry but i'm going to have to move on. not for me. not saying it's bad music but i'm going to liken it to "wilco". i can appreciate it's "good" while also saying folk music that shares a boarder with country music is an area of the music map i'm not a fan of.
next up: Caamp's "Lavendar Days"

generally speaking i "listen to everything",.. pretty much every genre of music has something in it that i like. maybe i don't like every artist but there is probably at least 1 that i like.
mood is definitely an influence. it's definetly a different day that i listen to NIN or eminem than the days i listen to all 4 one or mirah. but i'm pretty much always listening to something. my guilty pleasure is running a bath with the lights turned off,.. candle light and some music playing.
pretty much all of my japonese pop i know is in context to anime. Here's my favorite:
...and who's taylor swift? should i be looking him up? does he have a single i should be aware of?

Yeah its definitely not a sound that tons of people are probably gonna like to listen to. I doubt Caamp will be for you either. By and By is my favorite of theirs.
Id say most i listed may not be for you, but gotta try them at least. I used to never listen to any of this type of music until maybe 5 years ago or so.

i liked caamp a lot more. maybe not enough to add him to my library but much more my speed.
skipped over a few recommendations that were described as folk. now i'm on Oliver Tree's "Cowboy Tears Drown the World in a Swimming Pool of Sorrow (Deluxe)"

now this i'm really into. already added this album to my library and will likely listen though a few albums before moving on.i wouldn't say it's the same but for me this scratches the same itch as built to spill for me. if you decided to look them up start with "keep it like a secret" or "there's nothing wrong with love". there sound evolved after that and not necessarily for the better.

Nice. Yeah Oliver tree is great.
I'll check them out
okay, finished both oliver tree albums. good stuff.
up next,.. kaleo's a/b. icelandic blue rock,.. i'm excited to try this out. i'm expecting something close to Sigur Rós.
EDIT: okay, one song down my expectations were off. this sounds very much like american blues rock. perhaps i put too much weight into "icelandic". at the very least i thought it would be sung not in english.
Anyone like Nightcore edits?
Kind of like chipmunk edits.
nope.
added kaleo to my library. even though i liked it i'm still kind of disappointed it wasn't more "icelandic". ...whatever that means. i guess i just have Sigur Rós and Björk in my head as being "icelandic" and expected some sort of regionally influenced take on blues rock. it's still really good but it's very traditional too.
up next: Hippo Campus's Landmark.
pretty excited to find out these guys are from my home town! hope they're good.
I tried Built to Spill. I definitely see where they are similar to Oliver Tree. But i'm into it for sure. Keep it like a secret is good from what i've listened to. Its a very 90's style of music, but that was such a good era for music. I miss some of that.
Hippo Campus is up there with Lord Huron for me.

yeah, i think if i could express it:
1. certainly a bit of it is the sound. both are doing that like fake falsetto thing. both are rock bands or whatever.
2. but more of it is like,.. the sound is pretty bright and cheerful but the lyrics have a dark or self deprecating humor to them.
i've always liked it when a band and find that delicate contrast of cheerful but sad. for me the epitome of that is weezer's pinkerton. dear god, that album can span all the way from party to attempted-suicide... i don't care too much for where weezer has gone lately but dang if those first two albums are amazing.
my other favorite is real big fish's turn the radio off. such an amazing album. such a shame they never really nailed that particular sound down on their follow-up albums.
and yeah, i'm an 80's and 90's child. i'm not as bad as some about not embrassing new music but my library is very heavily skewed to that era.
Just thought of another you might like, as i'm listening to them right now.
Low Roar. They are featured heavily in Death Stranding.
This is one that I like.
My wife does not.

just finished that youtube embedd and hell yeah i like that!! going to check out the whole album now.
reminds me of one of my favorites: alt-j. i'm pretty sure these guys are reasonably well known but i dunno,.. maybe not. no idea what one would consider their "hit" song,.. they are the kind of band where you really should listen to the album not the songs because the songs bleed into each other. anyways, this is one of my favorites:
I've heard of Alt-J but haven't really listened to much of theirs. I'll have to check them out more.
Some artists, that i've just recently discovered, that I like but have only listened to some of their songs are Houndmouth, Manchester Orchestra, Bronze Radio Return, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise.
Also Local Natives is great as well. They were big on the first Life is Strange.
I also like Gregory Alan Isakov, but he's very folk so you may not like him.

I like the church song in death stranding too.

And the trailer song
going back to my own music.
i don't expect any of ya'll to like this. it's definitely "girl music" but love love love mirah.
The one Chinese song I listen to.
not a fan.
anyone out there into rap music?
this is probably going to sound racist (perhaps because it is) but as white guy that lives in a white neighborhood with pretty much all white friends and the ones that are not are typically Asian.....
...i find it hard to find good rap music.
i get most of my music via recommendations and there isn't anyone in my life to recommend anything. basically i just listen to eminem, kendrick lamar, and perhaps macklemore if you want to count him. i like the sound but i find i have the same problem with rap as i do with country music,.. a lot of it is too specific to a culture i can't relate to. i can sympathize to topics like knowing someone that has been gun down by a cop but i can't relate to it. it's hard to resonate to topics i'm soo far removed from. just like how i can't resonate with a country song about taking your horse to wherever...
anyone have any good recommendations for me?
Rap has devolved into one of the trashiest genres ever, imo. But dang the old days of rap in the early 90's and 2000's were so good. Lil Wayne, early Drake, early Eminem and plenty more put out consistent bangers. Now it's just terrible.
Early macklemore was great as well
Another Japanese song.
The first time I watched the music video in full, it crushed me.
https://www.npr.org/2023/03/10/1162568704/vinyl-outsells-cds-first-time-since-1987-recordsVinyl albums outsold CDs last year for the first time since 1987, according to the Recording Industry Association of America's year-end report released Thursday.
It marked the 16th consecutive year of growth in vinyl, with 41 million albums sold -- compared to 33 million CDs.
just wow.
maybe rockstar should have a special edition of the next GTA that ships in 3 DVDs...
That's pretty crazy. Has anything happened like this before? The streaming era has halted any progression in physical media and vinyl does offer a different sound to CD/streaming but this is mad.
Does anyone listen to lofi girl?
There's like a huge community for this one youtube channel

I don't listen to that channel but sometimes I put on random 10 hour lofi ish videos to help remove ghosting from my screen.
i'm not into youtube and thus i've never heard of it. been listening for a bit now and it's nice. probably not nice enough to make me come back. this seems like background music for when you don't want silence but you don't want to pay attention to it either. i have preferred music for that,.. mostly classical stuff like mozart. sometimes i listen to ATB which to be frank sounds a lot like this channel.
yeah i don't listen to music on youtube really at all. I love spotify's lofi beats and lofi cafe playlists though.
This was part of a video I saw on YouTube and I really liked some of the lines.
The lines that I liked are also part of a different longer song.
did you watch his Netflix COVID special? it's a true period piece.

I have not.
I have not.
it probably went on too long but it really brought back memories of lock down. it was pretty funny even if it went on a bit too long.

What's old is new.
But yeah, you get a different experience with vinyl. There's this hum that isn't really in a CD track.
As far as rap goes, Chris Rock put it best "And in the old days, it was easy to defend rap music. It was easy to defend it on an intellectual level. You could break it down, intellectually"
did you just find this? it's been playing on the radio pretty non-stop in my area for like 6 months maybe. i feel like i should hate this song and yet i don't.

Nah, I heard it some months ago for the first time.
Just was in the mood for it and thought I'd share.
Been in the mood for this song.
So I decided to back up a bunch of cds that were lying around the house (Mostly from my sister). I've been listening to what I backed up slowly as I either run or run/workout (also verifying the rip). I got to No Doubt on my last run. First album was good (Whatever it was). Got to their more well known album that I listened to often back in the day, the one that got them big. Holy hell do I miss the 90s. It was a good track. While there's still good music out of the 2000s and 2010s, it's more good pieces. Last good era of music was the 90s, in my humble opinion.
Does anyone have songs that they think are kind of annoying and yet still enjoy listening to?
Well anyway here's an example of that for me:
This one too a little bit:
*sees an Era thread about Dream Theater*
Oh is that the band that played that one song in Guitar Hero World Tour that I liked, from 15 years ago?
It was.
I only had guitar hero 2, 3, and 5.
In general I think I was more into rock band.
On account of Kenshi Yonezu's Kick Back becoming the first Japanese song to get certified Gold by RIAA (https://www.resetera.com/threads/kenshi-yonezus-kick-back-chainsaw-man-opening-first-japanese-language-song-certified-gold-by-riaa.781031/)
not a fan.
Anyone have any "fictional" songs they like?
Watching Scooby Doo with my son, and this was better than it should have been.
like the full house theme song?
It's also in game but I won't spoil that one.
I think this one counts but in game it sure functioned as regular music.
Just great killing mimics while this plays.
like the full house theme song?
I was meaning like a song that exists for a piece of media, that is done by a fictional artist.
Scooby-Doo has a fictional goth rock band called the Hex Girls (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hex_Girls)

This is a fun title.
okay, so then probably not really. other than spinal tap. such an amazing movie.
Probably the highest quality fake song ever made.
i really like that song. i love how "oldies" it is. i haven't heard any of his other stuff though since it hasn't been on the radio.
The other modern "oldies" i really like is raphael saadiq:
Speaking of old music, I'm a big Frank Sinatra fan.
I like Sinatra but I only listen to his Christmas songs.
Naruto has some great songs.
Naruto has some great songs.
Sounds fine but I've never watched Naruto so it just feels like a basic song to me.
Youtube is gonna start flooding me with tv and movie song covers since I watched this one too:
