Edit: THANK YOU ALL! I am taking all recommendations into consideration and will be giving them a listen sometime. I was a little overwhelmed hence my lack of response, but I greatly appreciate what you’ve written. (-:
Yes, this is a “suggest me songs” post. Only because I don’t know which other community is more appropriate.
I’m looking to revamp my main playlist and clean out songs I don’t revisit all that often. I was hoping you all could suggest some songs OR albums based on my current taste. The other reason I make this post is because I fear I’ll go my entire life without hearing fantastically underrated albums, and I know lemmists to have taste.
That being said, here are some of my favourite artists and albums:
- Lana Del Rey
- Marina and the Diamonds
- The Bravery
- “Disintegration” by The Cure
- Foreign Air
- Saint Motel
- “How to be a Human Being” by Glass Animals
- Garbage
- Madonna, especially the albums prior to the 00s
- Palaye Royale
- Vendredi sur Mer
I am additionally looking for artists similar to Crystal Castles, Com Truise, and Cults. Anything indie / electro / disco / jazz / poprock / pop-punk is welcome. Honestly, y’all don’t even have to take into consideration what I’ve just listed. Just give me the best you’ve got! Cheers. (:
Crystal Castles
Alice Glass (solo project)
Kap Bambino
CRIM3S
yyycry
CASHFORGOLD
White Ring
Ferngazer
IC3PEAK
Stay Healthy
Crossparty
Best of all, none of them have Ethan Kath as a member
Electronic suggestion:
it’s hard to see color [When You’re So Impossibly Far Away*] - Jaron
Been my absolute favorite since it released.
Your taste is a lot different than mine, but check out “Free” by Florence + the Machine and see if you like it.
You could try “Used to the darkness” by Des Rocs. If you like it I’ll see if I have other songs.
We have some similar tastes. I think you’ll like:
Borns
Florence and the Machine
Lorde’s 2021 album Solar Power
Spoon
Billy Raffoul
Hozier
Bishop Briggs
I guess whether or not they’re underrated depends on where you are, because IME Americans usually don’t know who they are but Europeans do, even though they’re an American band; but anyway Scissor Sisters is great if you haven’t checked them out. Their last album (Magic Hour) is their weakest IMO, but it still has some good songs.
I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ is pretty representative of their upbeat songs, and Return to Oz for their slower songs.
They are so good, and I do think underappreciated. I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ is one of the very few songs that I will always listen with the video on.

I’d recomment checking listen brainz’ tools, like this one https://listenbrainz.org/explore/music-neighborhood/ which shows relative artists. Or make an account there (beware; it publicly shows your listents with an accuracy of a minute, not just a day). It nice becase you can also find people with similar tastes.
Have fun exploring!

Jungle - Volcano (the whole album)
- Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas

Oh I have a few playlists you may like to poke through. Feel free to also save these, I don’t mind sharing.
Indie Sadgirl Vibes (moody folk/indie/pop)
Kodak Daydreams (chill shoegaze/dreampop)
I Hate Goth (~15hr goth/industrial/synthpop megamix)
I prefer to recommend artists over songs or albums. Based on what you mentioned, I think you’d like Sevdaliza, The Pretty Reckless, Visions of Trees, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Elita, The Polish Ambassador, Collide
Linda Perhacs, e.g. “Hey, Who Really Cares?”
The Joy Formidable, e.g. “The Ever-Changing Spectrum Of A Lie.”
Bjork, e.g. “Bachelorette” or “Immature.” Really anything from Homogenic.
This Town Needs Guns, e.g. “26 Is Dancier Than 4.”
My Morning Jacket, e.g. “It Beats For You.”
Of Montreal, e.g. “It’s Different For Girls.”
The Moody Blues, e.g. “Your Wildest Dreams.” They had four decades of killer songs with no flawless album.
Supertramp, e.g. “The Logical Song.”
Animal Collective, e.g. “Did You See The Words.”
Jimmy Eat World, e.g. “Believe In What You Want.” Clarity is the best album that ever got a band kicked off their label.
We Were Promised Jetpacks, e.g. “Conductor.”
Band Of Horses, e.g. “Blue Beard.”
Written by Wolves - Goddess Bad omens - death of peace of mind Nothing more
