Who is your favourite music artists and why?

[Xenophon]

I just rediscovered Sibelius' "Swan of Tuonela" last night. Magick mood music.

 

[Sabbatius]

I grew up listening to the Doors and The Cure.
I listened to The Sisters of Mercy throughout my High School and College years.
After that, I got into more World Music, Shoegazer and D&B.
Overall, I am picky.

 

[Saint]

Will Wood.
This man is my spirit animal, channeling my inner world and thoughts. Which can be considered as "concerning" at some point, but I find him a real genious as well, quite a phenomenon.

Allow me to cast to the wind a couple of lyrics parts with an URL attached to it, leading you to the song itself. I'll try to keep it short. I trust I'm not the only one who know this man and his pet rats.

I'm that first-person they talk about in all the books
I'm that perspective you cannot doubt, see how I look
Control the narrative reliably, baby, it's all about me
And I wrote the book about throwing the book
At those who don't do it by it
[...]
So now I'm holding myself hostage
Stockholm lust just looks like justice
And enough lefts don't make the right but two wrongs do
Oh man, Sun Tzu would love this
[...]
So, God forbid I'm seen just as an average human being
I mean, imagine if protagonists just died in the first scene
[...]
I loot plot armor from NPCs
Well, they are to me
Trite, tropes, traits, traumas, trinkets, and treats, it's all XP
Look in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's superego
The underdog you cheer for
Villains are everywhere, that's how I know that I'm the hero

I noticed that the sunshine is a gaslight
I'm hoping that this one might be my past life
My Lord, I know enough to get my facts right
and that's good enough for me
and everything and everyone will die soon
and we'll have nothing left for us to lie to
No matter what we seek you'll never find truth
and that's good enough for me

True believers, I said, old time religion
Give me that old time religion

Well, this disease is defined by its treatment, you people make me sick
Parlance of imbalanced, cambia's been challenged at best
AstraZeneca's just theoretical
Prints of your fingers in the Rorschach jigsaw, say you saw a treasure map
Straight-jacket and tie, psychiatric supply, while we tragically try to fit into a trap, but

Who'd want to be human anyway? (Ay, ay, ay, ay)
Who pilots all these crude machines?
Why'd you come into this world or come out that way?
Like freaks of nurture, well, isn't it funny?
(Well, not ha-ha funny, but y'know, funny...)
[...]
Too weird to love, too scared to die (ay, ay, ay, ay), too alien to take you home
Horrified at the sight of my reflection in your eyes, I don't belong there
Well, it's your conclusions that make mine delusions, so I make you sane
You can thank me later

Read your horoscopes, your palms and tarot cards
But either way your destination ain't very far
You could drown, or choke, or burn, or be hit by a car
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But something will eventually
[...]
In the fabric of time and in the vastness of space
A billion amounts to nothing in infinity's face
At most a couple generations will remember the ways in which
Your life never mattered
So, who cares if it's a waste?

Well, one day you'll be not even a faint memory, no
At most a ghost or falling leaf from your family tree
Your legacy's not yours to see, nor is your eulogy
And you'll never know what it all means

To save time from you having to scroll, I will not quote lyrics part no more, some beloved song I also love and listen a lot.

And a couple of my favourite short lines, just bare as they are so, technically I lied, I did quote, once again.

"Bad things happen to good people, Good things happen to me."
"It don’t look like survival b-b-buy now or die!”
"I don’t wanna die... but somebody’s got to go."
"The devil made me do it but I also kinda wanted to."
"What's so wrong about what's wrong with me"

Well... That's all about it. Pardon me for The Great wall of Yapna.

 

[Amadeus]

Alestorm. The songs, lyrics, how they have put together everything, the way how the songs go from beginning until the end, nice flow. Everything has been done so well. I fell in love with their music from the first moments when I heard them on YouTube, must have been more than a decade ago.

The Sisters Of Mercy are outstanding - but you must get the right master of their albums, or it can sound really flat.
For example, I just found out about a Rhino 3CD set ('remastered' by some muppet called Dave Schultz in LA) that sounds bloody atrocious. Lifeless mess - compared to the 2015 'Vision Thing Collection', which is very, very good - the latter edition swaggers in all the ways the Rhino edition is lacking. Their first album 'First & Last & Always' sounds out of phase on the original version, and again the 2015 24/96 'Collection' version has a swagger about it that is unmatched by all other versions. Same again with 'Floodland' in the 2015 'Collection' remaster.

 

[Shade]

Depends on the day but nearly everyday before a workout I listen to Dax - Blueprint 2 (remix) or his “self proclaimed” 3 4

If I’m reading I listen to Chopin, Beethoven or Vivaldi. Sometimes Pagini as well.

I also like to listened to “Burden” for his not giving a f- attitude like in the song “out on bond”


I’m a big fan of KoRn as they were my favorite band growing up so theres just so much nostalgia.

Pearl Jam and Kottonmouth Kings are two other big influences when I pulled all nighters for school,

Metallica holds a place in my heart, Queen, Tech N9ne, George Michaels… the list is endless

I can’t seem to stick with a single genre.

Ren has blown up in recent years (the UK/Welsh artist) I like his song bittersweet symphony and Troubles,

But this was my inspirational song for this morning

Definitely Chappell Roan, she creates bops that are very straightforward yet relatable!

 

[Djnenas]

Tool forever!!!!

 

[ramshackle]

too many to name, but lately i've been enjoying a couple in particular that feel relevant to this forum

seeming has a lot of estoterically-minded tracks, but the one i love the most is holy fire

i also really like yes artemis, which is a wonderful little neoplatonic anthem

aesop rock put out an entire concept album a few years back called the spirit world field guide and every single track is fun and often dripping with esoteric miscellany and stream of consciousness references to adjacent pop culture and history, sometimes in admittedly a bit campy ways

okay, one bonus track – daylight by eric bachmann. i played this a lot while doing some work focused on tiphareth a couple of years back
