What's new

Last good song you listened to?

Wow now there are a lot of triggered dudes in this thread. I didn't say anything about whether obscure music was good or bad, lots of snowflake assumptions going on here. Yikes.
 
I don't love it, but I can't skip through it without finding many sounds that I do.

Gonna need more time on this one, but thanks for your contribution.
 
I've tried to like Amon Amarth, but they don't work for me for some reason.
Hope you have fun though!
Musically they are nothing special, melodic metal with growling vocals. They call themselves Viking metal lol. But they do put a great show live. Lots of pyro, props, etc.
 

After listening to a bit more of this it reminds me of some of my favorite 90s rap. To be honest it reminds me more of the Tupac song here, but I can't help myself posting Juicy as well.

I've got to give that guy credit. EDM was an unlistenable wasteland for a decade before Skrillex and deadmau5 showed the Euros how it was done. Speaking of the latter, even though it is ~ 3 years older than Summit, but I still think 'I Remember' sounds great.

 
So the past couple days I've been listening to the new (2022) Tears for Fears album. There's a pattern for me that bands that I've liked for years or growing up, somehow it's easy to neglect new music being released because my idea of who the band is becomes pretty cemented in whatever great albums I listened to while growing up. As a result of life and also the way things have changed in society over the past 20 years, I don't experience music in quite the same way as I did growing up. While listening to an entire album happens, the availability of that has drastically changed, so it's harder (for me) to consume something as an album rather than individual tracks. In conjunction with this, every album has skippable tracks and most albums aren't great from start to finish (even if there are still one or two tracks that aren't as great). I'm pretty picky (in terms of albums, I really only have a handful of them). So I'd say it's been at least 20 years where I've found something where I've said it's an amazing album. But color me surprised about this most recent TFF album. I'd put this up there with Songs From The Big Chair. I'm surprise there hasn't been much fanfare for this, but again that's, to some degree, dictated by how society consumes music.

Three tracks I'd highlight here:

This is a more upbeat and catchy one.

I thought it was funny how strong of a Beatles vibe it gives off even just 10 seconds in and then he mentions the Beatles within the first minute. Good song, though.

This is the real gem on the album.
