r/musicsuggestions

For character theme song purposes. I would like recommendations for songs about the pursuit of knowledge, morbid curiosity, and/or researching strange things.

Thank you in advance!

Skeleton zombies, burning malls, surfs up, battlevests, cheap beer and ciggs, like:

- Toxic Holocaust

- Municipal Waste

- Sodom

- Suicidal Tendencies

I like slow and "echoish" psychedelic rock with words something you could imagine hippies listing to of course i know the classics but I'm trying to expand my music knowledge in this genre. Thanks in advance and have a good one mates

Hi! I’m looking for some piano pieces that are like “Bundle of Joy” from the inside out soundtrack that feel calming to help me “wind down” from intense emotions (I have adhd….). Thank you!!

It might seem a little biased towards pop but I tried not to be and didn't feel like adding cliche stuff like Other Side Of The Moon. Which good ones do you think I missed?

I was listening to Shake, Shake, Shake by Bronze Radio Return and it got me thinking about songs that encourage you to shake, dance or move to the music. What songs come to your mind?

Tonight, I opened up to my boyfriend for the first time in a really long time. He asked me to, made me feel safe in doing so. And then he told me, “why do you have to be so difficult to fix”
So, I am looking for songs embodying that. Being difficult to fix, feeling like damaged goods. Thanks in advance.

These headsets are truly another level. I have been listening to some of my favourite artists and keep finding such fine details that were not audible on airpods/regular headsets. What are yalls favourite music to benchmark some headsets? The kinda songs that have a very unique dynamic range, or complex layered instruments that shine through a nice pair of headsets.

So far Ive done most of pink floyd nd radioheads discography, some frank ocean, opeth, kendrick lamar, king crimson, rush, and shpongle. Shoutout the everything in its right place gotta be my fav rn

I am in the hospital with my dad, playing DJ to his final hours in this world.

So far I have played:

Pink Floyd - Wish you were here
David Bowie - Greatest Hits
Enigma - Greatest Hits
Pink Floyd - Animals
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the moon
Radiohead - Ok Computer
The beatles - Abbey Road
Boards of Canada - The Camp Fire Headphase

Sat by his bed now would really appreciate more suggestions thank you <3

Kidney Failure - He's in his 70s

EDIT: Hi everyone, just an update - I've had very little sleep for days now, so coming up with music has been extremely mentally challenging between managing everything else. I've been playing so many of the amazing suggestions below, it's added days worth of music to see us through to the end. He's a real man of his time so I just know hitting that vibe he's been appreciating it all. Reddit has really come through and I am deeply grateful to you all. I've run out of steam to respond to everyone but I am still cycling through until the last breath.

People don't talk about palliative care enough honestly. There's a real cruelty to slowly dying, but at least he can go out in style.

slightly different angle than normal rec threads but still music related so hope it’s ok. over the last couple years i’ve had a few fav albums vanish or get different versions on spotify/yt music and it kinda killed the mood. i still use streaming for discovery but i’m thinking of backing up the playlists i really love to local files as a safety net. been trying out streamfox on my pc to convert certain playlists to flac/mp3 and keep the tags/art, then playing those through a local player. curious if anyone else here does this and if it changed how you build your playlists or find new stuff. do you keep a “forever” playlist that you also store locally or just accept the chaos and move on?

I am listening to Tommy Keene, and he is great, but his biggest song Places that Are Gone has 469 thousand streams

Another one I like is the Tall Dwarfs. Their biggest hit Nothing's Going to Happen has 356 thousand streams.
