Shard of Reading he/him Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 Sooo... This might make me sound really dorky, but I just got a record player and have been listening to a bunch of old albums. The ones that I've enjoyed include, (But are not limited to) Heaven Tonight (Cheap Trick) Sports (Huey Lewis and the News) The original Boston Album (It doesn't have a name) Glass Houses (Billy Joel) An Asia album The Chicago album that has 25 or 6 to 4 (They don't name their albums so I don't know what it's called) Who are You (The Who) Leftoverture (Kansas) 3
Robin Sedai she/her Posted December 1, 2021 Posted December 1, 2021 The Les Misérables tenth anniversary album in general, and "One Day More!" in specific. I love that song, it's one of my favourites.
jamesbondsmith He/him Posted December 17, 2021 Posted December 17, 2021 I've been a fan of mashups for years, but I discovered this channel a few weeks ago Black Sabbath and The Who - "Who? Are You Paranoid?" - YouTube. Bootie Mashup is also a great site.
Robin Sedai she/her Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 Just listened to Encanto (here's hoping I can see it soon) and it is insanely catchy. I love every single song, and they're taking turns sticking in my head.
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 Switching between Clamavi de Profundis's various songs, the Interstellar soundtrack (you know a soundtrack is good when it's 52% of the reason you cried in a movie), and The Lord of the Rings, while I read. Currently at the Battle of Helm's Deep, I think. 1

+Slowswift Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 @Use the Falchion Oh, that's right, you're how I found out about Band-Maid! Thanks for that. 1
Eluvianii he/him Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 I'd resurrect the other thread, but I might get in trouble if I decide to do that every 12 months. Besides, it seems kind of silly in retrospect when we already have this one, so here goes. The best 10 songs I found that came out in 2021: 1. In Hell We Live, Lament - Mili 2. Hadashi no Step - LiSA 3. One Last Kiss - Utada Hikaru 4. Manners - Band-Maid 5. Bulbel - Mili 6. "M" Revolution - Unlucky Morpheus 7. Surprise - LiSA 8. Fiction - Polkadot Stingray 9. Darken - Zutomayo 10. Messenger in Flames - Cepheid The best 10 songs I found in 2021 but that came out before: 1. Dokuhaku - Maaya Sakamoto 2. sustain++; - Mili (technically listened to this one last year, but it kind of fell into oblivion after the first time. This year I became obsessed with it) 3. Haru wa Yuku - Aimer 4. Summoning 101 - Mili (the fastest I've gone from 0 to a tear shower (just under 3 minutes)) 5. FATE - Band-Maid (all of World Domination really) 6. Komm Susser Todd - Arianne (same as sustain++; but all the way back in 2015) 7. Odore Ophelia - Feuille Morte/RD-Sounds (one of those names is the artist name. Couldn't figure out which. This song is obscure, it's not even on youtube anymore) 8. world.search(you); - Mili 9. Standstill - Poets of the Fall 10. Dear Alice - Arai Tasuku And the best 10 background themes from a soundtrack, which all happen to be from video games: 1. Spiral of Erebos - The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III 2. Dark Beast Ganon Battle (spoilers for final boss I guess) - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 3. Great Power - The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 4. Make Me Feel Sad - Dragon Quest V 5. Harmonious - Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights (composed by Mili) 6. Triumphant Return - Epilogue - Dragon Quest VII 7. Pledge of Demon - Yakuza 0 8. Twilight Green Passage - The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV 9. Bewitching Dance - Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate 10. Severe Blow - The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II Special mention here to Morimiya is Okay from Tokyo Xanadu. It was my number 10 but I wanted a CS2 theme just to round things up so it had to be sacrificed. This is also the year when I just had to accept that Mili is my current favorite band. It was evident before but the more I listen to, the more obvious it becomes. I really recommend it, they make some weird stuff in terms of the lyrics actually fitting into a melody sometimes, but it's great. They go from crude reality to sci-fi to fantasy to a mix of all three like it's nothing. You could make a compilation of their lyrics and sell it as a short story collection. It's also probably worth mentioning Vivid Undress as probably best discovery of a band? Spotify does a weird thing where if a playlist/album is over it just goes on playing whatever it thinks I might like. The thing was right, I listened to a few of their songs and they're storming great. Parareru wa (or something) particularly stayed with me. I love discovering bands like this, it's like an adventure. It happened almost at the end of the year so I'm excited to listen to all of their stuff. I'll also be checking out Band-Maid's early stuff because I feel like I abused too much of World Domination this year. 3

I like the idea of having a special place for the end-of-the-year lookbacks instead of just lumping it with the current music being listened to. It makes the songs feel more special that way. (And since last year's thread was still active in June, I wouldn't worry TOO much about necroing that one. Although I do agree, better safe than sorry) Regardless, there are a lot of songs on your lists that I haven't listened to or heard of, and I'm looking forward to hearing them this year! 1

Well, that is encouraging to hear. Yearly threads are certainly an idea, wouldn't be the first instance here. And right back at you, there's lots of artists in your list that I haven't even heard of. I might take a page from your book in the categories. This list was longer before I shrank it to 30, and the first year I did it it was supposed to be 10, but I just added new categories as an excuse to choose more songs. You clearly have that covered.
Zurvanight he/him Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) Apparently this song was super popular in Japan. These remixes by Hamburgaga of Shirakami Fubuki singing it are amazing. Edited January 2, 2022 by Zurvanite 1
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Been switching between Rachel Hardy and Colm McGuinness covers for the last couple of days. I really like both of their individual styles.
Robin Sedai she/her Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, by Agatha Christie, read by Hugh Fraser. Apparently I've been pronouncing Poirot wrong all this time. 1
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Africa, The Final Countdown, Don't Stop Believing, all songs that I associate primarily with vans, road trips, and friends, and also Bill Whelan's Reel Around the Sun, which is completely different, but it's also incredibly good. 1
Silverblade5 he/him Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 Enjoying the hell out of Sabaton's new album.
#1 Taln Fan he/him Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 Sabaton has a new alblum? *quickly stops current music* *listens to it* Ok this is a jam
Robin Sedai she/her Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Jar of Hearts, sung by Christina Perri. 1
Going_North_cal Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 At the current moment, or do I start listing songs? I will list 5 songs that are in my queue right now. High, The Chainsmokers Campus, Vampire Weekend Fireflies, Owl City Constellations, The Oh Hellos Castaway, Kroh and Halfy & Winks 1
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 I've listened to Something Just Like This kind of a lot recently. Which really explains my head right now, honestly. Also a lot of PelleK covers, but that's unrelated. 1
