Recommend me a good album please?

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

I realised last year I was just listening to the same things over and over and really wanted to expand my horizons a bit.

Stuff I like is fairly mainstream but I also like Indie and Folk

Been listening to a lot of :

Taylor Swift, Lizzo, Billie Elish type thing

Only really not into heavy/death metal and punk, otherwise like all music

Other than that listen to anything, what album is your go to that you could listen to again and again?

It's so easily done, to get in a rut as I don't listen to the radio much these days and so just go back to faithfuls

Must be getting old

If you like Regina Spektor have a listen to Ben Folds.

I must admit there aren't many albums by single artists that I can listen to the whole way through, but any of Beth Orton's are definitely up there, others are:
Bonnie Prince Billy - I see a darkness
The Be Good Tanyas - Blue Horse
Dirty Vegas - Dirty Vegas
Everything But The Girl - Eden
Jesse Malin - fine art of self destruction
Lamb - What Sound
Neil Young - Unplugged
Richard Ashcroft - Alone with everybody
Tom McRae - Just like blood

I also never get bored of Queens of the Stone Age and Slipknot, but won't bother recommending any of their albums

Another shout for Rex Orange County

Also one of my favourite oldies is All About Eve - All About Eve

Wild Silence by the Wandering Hearts

. @Binting @ShesGotBetteDavisEyes

and basically everyone who likes a bit of female singer/songwriter

Give Amidst The Chaos and The Blessed Unrest by Sara Bareilles a go

Also

Stranger Songs : Inspired by Stranger Things by Ingrid Michaelson

Damien Rice O
Van Morrison Moondance
Nizlopi Half These Songs Are About You

@LegArmpits

🎶She's a Brick and I'm drowning slowly🎶

🎶Oh I am, I am, The Luckiest🎶

I probably know O off by heart, he hasn't done anything new in ages has he? @Geoffreythecat

Oh, and Alabama Shakes

Oh sorry OP, no I don't think he has. Have you ever listened to any Nizlopi stuff? They're known for their JCB song obviously, but some of their other stuff is beautiful.

I am old and don't like much mainstream music. I prefer listening to female vocalists (and singing along badly!)
Two of my favourite albums are
Imogen Heap - Speak for Yourself
and
The Cocteau Twins - Treasure

I'm currently loving Angel Olsen's new album All Mirrors.

I'm going to go through this thread tomorrow for new things to listen to, thank you for starting it!

The kick inside - Kate Bush

Check out Valerie June - beautiful folk/soul innovative songs

“Into the mystic” is probably my favourite song of all time (and mine n dh’s first dance at our wedding...sigh) - it’s on his Moondance album though not astral weeks so give it a listen if you haven’t already.

The Whippoorwill - Blackberry Smoke

Painkillers - Brian Fallon
Exist and Expire - Nieves

If you enjoy Britpop, would highly recommend Gaz Coombes solo albums. Different to Supergrass and awesome!

Halsey - Manic
Lydia Loveless - Indestructible Machine
HoneyHoney - 3
Suzanne Santo - Ruby Red
Elle King - Love Stuff
Gin Wigmore - Blood to Bone

Raising Sand - Robert Plant & Alison Krauss
David Gates - Songbook (lazy Sunday morning listening)

Absolutely anything by Thea Gilmore. I can listen to her for hours. Her new Album (Small World Turning) is amazing, but my favourite album of hers is probably Liejacker. Have a listen to this gorgeous song from it: . Some of her stuff's more upbeat though.

Freya Riding's new album is good as well, and I second the recommendation for Amy Wadge.

I came here to say Rumours but have been beaten to it :)

Moondance by Van Morrison

Songs or One Tree Less by Judie Tzuke. She's an incredible singer/sonwriter with avast back catalogue.

Blackie and The Rodeo Kings - B.A.R.K Cnadian root/folk/country trio who are fantastic

Janis ian, Sarah McLachlan, Jann Arden, The Dunwells

@Moonmelodies @FritataPatate
