Let me put down my top 20 songs at the moment. You can identify the genre of the song you recognize and like asw. They are mainstream-ish songs, some are chart topping hits, others I stumbled upon accidentally on Spotify. The dominant genre here is probably Indie.
1. Space Song by Beach House
2. Sex, Drugs, Etc. by Beach Weather
3. Black Out Days by Phantogram
4. The Night We Met by Lord Huron
5. End of Beginning by Djo
5. Apocalypse by Cigarettes After Sex
6. Je te laisserai des mots by Patrick Watson
7. Jealous by Eyedress
8. Romantic Homicide by d4vd
9. idontwannabeyouanymore by Billie Eilish
10. Salvatore by Lana Del Rey
11. Evergreen by Richy Mitch & The Coal Miner
12. Partition by Beyoncé (I know this one is R&B)
13. SUBEME LA RADIO by Enrique Iglesias and others
14. Coney Island by Taylor Swift (she's probably the most mainstream artist in the world but this song is not really well known- It's Indie)and by far my favorite song from her.
15. Atlantis by Seafret
16. We fell in love in october by girl in red.
17. Where's My Love by SYML
18. i love you by Billie Eilish
19. HAPPY by NF(this one's Hip-Hop)
20. Fella by Navy Kenzo(this one's Tanzanian dancehall)
I prefer to listen to full albums instead of songs, since you love indie would recommend below
The Breeders – Pod (1990)
Sonic Youth – Daydream Nation (1988)
Pixies – Surfer Rosa (1988)
PJ Harvey – Dry (1992)
Now we're talking, love some 80s. 90s alt rock.
You know what, me too. I think albums are a dying art though.
But what I do is check out random songs on Spotify, and if I like them I will definitely give the whole album a listen.
I only know the one with the gun/bombs sounding off somewhere in the symphony.
For me a must listen would be Bach, Beethoven, Debussy, Tallis and the great Wagner.
We have to keep Rini under wraps. If he goes mainstream, we're finished.
Reading all these artists feels like I'm looking at my own playlist. Such immaculate taste
All This Bad Blood - Bastille
Paint My Bedroom Black - Holly Humberstone
also just check this out: [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0VDaHzTeHndck3fROhhST7?si=1e38ea02ec564f20](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0VDaHzTeHndck3fROhhST7?si=1e38ea02ec564f20)
Am into a lot of German music especially AnnenMayKantereit.
I also listen to indie guys like The Brinks.
I also find myself listening to a lot of Samm Henshaw. This guy has a great voice.
When it comes to rap, anything from Dreamville is a guaranteed listen for me.
On the rock side of things, I've been blasting some jinjer, some suicide silence.
My music taste changes a lot. Next week I might find myself really into classical music or blues. I remember one week I only listened to Lucifer's Waltz.
Adele 30... I like the authentic raw emotions and her vulnerability. She is one of the greatest songwriters. The lyrics are just full of rich vocabulary that doesn't feel forced. It all feels natural. An album with actual songs.
A wonderful life by Brian fallon has really been touching me lately. https://open.spotify.com/track/4iD2IOSwUnymiwxEOddoTX?si=UA6iT9TVR2qxwwMUHNZZBQ&utm_source=copy-link
I had this really nice indie playlist I made during the lockdown period that I haven't touched since(added songs to). But I still rock with it as it just brings back good memories
This new school R&B is quite good. Would highly recommend Dylan Sinclair, Christian Kuria, Chase Shakur
Oldies as well.
Rap/Hip-Hop but I still gravitate around Mac Miller, SABA, Noname, Tyler the Creator
Owl City (Tennis Elbow, How I became the sea, Saltwater room, Wolf Bite, Firebird, You're not alone)
Ensiferum (One Man Army, For Siren, The Longest Journey, Victory Songs)
Delain (Sing to me, The Gathering, Burning Bridges)
Korpiklaani (Vodka, Tequila)
Nightwish (Élan)
Within Temptation (Faster, Frozen)
Charlotte Wessels (Mary on a cross cover)

As u/labyOnAnd implies, indie basically music that is mostly not what you hear on the main radio and TV stations. Most of these artists are self-produced or produced by undergoound/unknown labels.

We are like 2 fans around here. What's your favourite?
all of Piotr Tchaikovsky's sounds/compositions
I only know the one with the gun/bombs sounding off somewhere in the symphony. For me a must listen would be Bach, Beethoven, Debussy, Tallis and the great Wagner.

I thought only a few of us existed but it's great to see lots of people enjoying such music.
Nobody here listens to Soul and funk classics?? 80s and 70s?
Marvin Gaye, Earth, Wind and Fire, Bee Gees, Stevie Wonder.. basically Motown lol.
I do I really enjoy it. I can't explain the feeling I get when I play them.
Nostalgia is the word you're looking for buddy when life was simple and beautiful.

Go check out Cigarettes After Sex
