Picking a favorite artist is hard, but I recently got a CD for the For Squirrels album Example a few days ago. Absolutely in love with it, every single song on it. Especially the CD version of Mighty K.C., which feels like an extended version of what plays during the official music video on yt.
Can't say who's my favorite, but they're definitely up there.
I don't know if I can pick a favorite artist, my tastes are too varied. There's a ton of good suggestions in this thread, so a couple album recommendations I have that I don't see are:
Mannheim Steamroller - Fresh Aire II
Rheostatics - Melville
Rammstein - Mutter - Spieluhr
Chopin - Nocturne in B flat minor, Op. 9 № 1
REM - Monster - Bang and Blame
Jon Lajoie - You Want Some of This? - Show Me Your Genitals
Pearl Jam - Yield - Push Me Pull Me
Lindemann - Frau und Mann - Knebel
Ария - Химера - Вампир
Gamma Ray - Power Plant - Empress
Kurban - İnsanlar - Yine
Crowded House - Together Alone - Nails in my Feet
If someone couldn't find at least one song on that list that they like, I'd be very surprised.
I've only ever heard one of those songs, but I like it (Bang and Blame)!
One of the few bands that have stuck with me for years, I give you Foreign Air. I recommend their album Hello Sunshine, most of them are bangers. My favourite songs include Your Touch and Hello Sunshine Pt 2.
Neko Case in either her solo career or with The New Pornographers. The voice of God with red hair. I would listen to Brill Bruisers by TNP or Middle Cyclone by Neko..
Blanco White, British artist with Spanish/Latin influence. 'The wind rose' from his EP is such a good song and I think it reflects his style still. https://open.spotify.com/track/2B2iGPBD6RBWJ11uxtb34t?si=GidmWC2uSoSiDvwbw8XmyQ&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A18WIUFEZRfWSRDhfnmO9NB
"Giordano's dream" (both parts) are an amazing listen too. https://open.spotify.com/album/0ZiiZQCm1aez7Kt77j78QG?si=5e5wSsbETP2dNLOLlMVxhg
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Dire Straights, On Every Street.
I was listening to old punk rock (from my own collection, not some algorithmic channel) and Kamala's Too Nice by Screeching Weasel came on, which was really amusing in the current American political landscape. https://youtu.be/EjlhlqcCTjM
If you like this one you'll probably like the whole My Brain Hurts album.
Beborn Beton – Truth (Album)
Too many genres, artists, decades to choose one, I'll pick one, hope you'll enjoy. Cassius - The sound of violence
