Notable Music

[Cayla]

I've been thinking there are such great songs out there, with the majority of them being hardly discovered and put on the radio. Those 20 songs for a couple months at a time are repeated, hated, and loved. I think this forum has enough room for a 'diamond in the rough' thread. Share your 'diamonds in the rough'!

I am a fan of pop music so my choices may not be 'hipster' enough and have potential to become one of the next radio repeats, but anyway...

I'm generally into mainstream-ism music also, so I can definitely empathise.

At the moment, I'm loving everything on The Great Gatsby's soundtrack, particularly Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey and Gotye's Hearts A Mess.

Hollow Talk by Choir of Young Believers was the theme tune to a Swedish crime drama called The Bridge. It's a slow burn of a tune, but I love it.

Doncamatic is a fairly poppy offering from Gorillaz, but it didn't exactly scale charts on its release. I really like it also.

Hm... well, I would say that my type of music is very... all over the place. Recently my brother has gotten me into some sub-genres of electronica music, which is some sort of sub-genre of a sub-genre or something. One of my favorites is Melody Circus by Savant. Another notably less instrumental song is Can't Control Myself by Krewella (Candyland Remix). He told me that electronic music should not in any circumstance be compared to "that animalistic, button masher dubstep."

Also, I really love Stutter by Marianas Trench, Kayla. One of my all-time favorite bands. I also like Fallout (the music video is pretty darn cool, imo [that is to say, the explosions, not the raunchy stuff]) and B Team.

I own all of Panic! At The Disco's albums, and pretty much love every song on them. They're not exactly hipstery enough to be considered "diamonds in the rough," but they've only had a few songs on the radio. My favorites on their newest album, Vices and Virtues, are Turn Off the Lights and Hurricane. The meaning behind them is really cool. Kaleidoscope Eyes is also amazing.

All-American Rejects are by no means unknown, but I thought it was pretty much obligation to mention that every song on Move Along is amazing.

I really like that Doncamatic song, simey (or Laura, heh)! Thanks for pointing it out.


EDIT: I know I've linked to like 239842985798 songs already, but Happy as the Sun by Tyrone Wells is really a great song. He needs more recognition.
