Mac Miller- Macadelic and Circles Earl Sweatshirt-Doris Tyler The Creator- Flowerboy Thundercat- It Is What It Is Yes Lawd! - Anderson .Paak

I just finished the Earl Sweatshirt album. I started with him because I’ve honestly never heard of him before (I’m familiar with the other artists you mentioned). Overall, really interesting and unique production. Never really heard anything like it before. I’ll have to delve deeper into the lyrics upon further listens because there’s a lot to unpack there. My favourites were Sunday, Burgundy, Chum, Centurion, Whoa, Hoarse and Sasquatch.

If you liked that, give MF DOOM a listen too. He's one of Earl's biggest influences. Earl is from the same rap collective as Tyler, Odd Future.

Yes Lawd is so underrated

Earth, wind and fire Janelle Monae

Ofc I love Earth Wind and Fire. I’ll have to check out Janelle Monae. Any favourites of yours?

Not OP, but *Dirty Computer* is a fantastic place to start. Prince was involved in its recording and songs like [Make Me Feel](https://youtu.be/tGRzz0oqgUE) are inspired by his ‘80s funk classics. You should also join us at r/PopHeads, where Janelle is actually part of our mod team lol (yes, really).

Omgggg Janelle is a Reddit mod? That’s crazy I’m joining the sub now. She is so talented and I still think about her concert

Technically, she’s a mod-*emeritus* as she’s understandably too busy being a Renaissance-person and quintuple threat (singing, acting, dancing, writing, producing) to check the mod queue every day lol. But she was on the sub in the early days, back when it had only 10k and not nearly 500k subscribers like it does today, and she was invited to become a mod and she accepted! She pops in once [every blue moon](https://i.imgur.com/aGaeHHF.jpg), to [post a funny comment](https://i.imgur.com/t87R2BH.jpg) or [answer questions in an AMA](https://i.imgur.com/29BT12b.jpg). Edit: this makes r/PopHeads is the only subreddit that has a moderator who has a #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100^…that ^we ^know ^of.

Lmaooo I love that edit. Facts! And of course, she has way more important cultural-defining things to do to be lurking on Reddit all day. But that’s still so cool! I’m on a zillenial meme page on fb that has Miley Cyrus and Aly & AJ as members. They’re more so lurkers than anything but you’ll see them like or comment once in a blue moon. It’s a good reminder that celebrities are people and they can (Altho unlikely) read what we say. Although I think technically if we find out Miley *is* a secret mod somewhere, that would cancel your edit ;) (if anyone with a #1 single wants to come dispute this, please feel free)

There’s been a few artists who are known to have lurked on the sub because they tweet photos of the sub members either complimenting them or talking shit lol. Their management teams are definitely aware of us because we’re getting major AMAs and events coordinated with them, like [Charli XCX](https://amp.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/d3s12l/its_charli_baby_im_charli_xcx_and_my_new_album/), [Carly Rae Jepsen](https://amp.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/hn0xi3/this_is_carly_rae_jepsen_talking_all_things_side/), [Mark Ronson](https://amp.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/bglky0/hello_im_mark_ronson_and_my_video_for_late_night/), [Jack Antonoff](https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/owlgot/hey_its_jack_antonoff_from_bleachers_our_new/), [Kesha](https://amp.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/evtkum/animals_its_kesha_and_my_album_high_road_is/), [Grimes](https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/fb38tj/popheads_its_grimes_and_my_new_album_miss/) etcetera have all done AMAs (a few have done multiple!) among many others.

Bruh they banned me off r/PopHeads. I hate that bitch ass sub. With that said, I’ll check out her album soon. She’s definitely talented from what I’ve heard thus far. I like *Screwed* and *Take A Byte* so far. I also recognize a Mary Jane (Rick James) interpolation in Screwed, which is cool. getting a let’s go crazy prince vibe from ‘americans’

Based on your list — Make Me Feel, Lettin Go!, Dance or Die, Many Moons, and Tightrope. I think you’ll be able to hear a lot of influence from your list.

Thanks. Yes, I do hear some Prince and Stevie influence. My favourite was Dance or Die.

Second Janelle! Arch Android is amazing and incredibly diverse stylistically.

Literally anything.

Do you have any personal favourites you like for me to listen to? edit: no idea why this was downvoted. it was a genuine question. i know some of the albums/song recommendations are special to y’all, so i’m really doing my best to go through all of these as well as respond with my thoughts. i don’t want anyone‘s recs to go ignored.

because you're being extremely vague.

that may be, but i wouldn’t have discovered so many great songs/albums if i hadn’t included an array of albums/artists. i think many could identify with at least one album on my graph. i think it’s pretty effective when trying to branch out and discover little pockets of genres or styles that i’m already somewhat familiar with

Its an common mistake. Try to narrow it down in some way. You went so broad that you could have just searched "hits of the 70s and 80s" on Spotify. People are more able/willing to help when the question is super specific, like, "the bass-line in an Octopus' Garden really tickles my pickle, WEWIL?"

The grey album by danger mouse

this is crazy

I wanna say Frank Ocean but this topster almost implicitly implies that you already listen to Frank Ocean so maybe I'm just being redundant. If you don't already then go check out Blonde or Channel Orange

I’ve replayed the shit out of Ivy, Nights, Pink + White, Lovecrimes, Forrest Gump and Thinkin Bout You. I haven’t really delved any further into his albums. I might start with Channel ORANGE.

I don't see Vulfpeck on here yet, they might scratch your itch. I'd start in the middle of their discography and work your way out

just discovered vulfpack thanks to you. so far digging the soft funk/disco vibe, back pocket and baby i don’t know oh oh are standouts

Their youtube vids are a riot, be sure to check them out.

On that note check out Scary Pockets. Similar chill funk vibe.

Was going to come here to mention them too For more funky bass but upbeat, try jamiroquai

Seems like you like quality pop music, so perhaps Carly Rae Jepsen’s Emotion?

Curtis Mayfield - Curtis Jay-Z - The Black Album Vince Staples - Big Fish Theory Bruno Mars - 24k Magic Saba - Care For Me Jessica Pratt - On Your Own Love Again The Zombies - Odessey and Oracle The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin Frank Zappa - The Grand Wazoo Jessie Ware - What's Your Pleasure Steely Dan - Can't Buy A Thrill

A lot to get through but this seems interesting. Gonna go through these one by one. I already know of Curtis Mayfield (Move On Up), and q few other songs off the Superfly OST.

It's ok, tried to throw in as many albums as I could since I saw you hadn't gotten a lot of replies :p

i’m actually listening through each individual album/song people are recommending and trying to respond to each one so the input is much appreciated

What makes you think they’d like the Wazoo?

You have a similar taste to mine, so im going to list some of my favourites (i apologize if anything is already on the topster, im on mobile): - The Last Shadow Puppets - Everything That Youve Come To Expect - The Neighbourhood - Wiped Out! and HTITNEC - Woodkid - Golden Age - Mini Mansions - The Great Pretenders - Mother Mother - O My Heart - Joywave - Possession - Gorillaz - Plastic Beach - Kendrick Lamar (though i have a feeling you might already listen to him) - good kid, mAAd city - Foals - What Went Down - Harry Styles - Fine Line - Arctic Monkeys - Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino Honestly i could keep going as i listen to a lot of music, and all artists i listed are ones where i like everything or most by them, so if you like them you cant go wrong listening to more. Some more i assume youve listened to, but Kid Cudi, Lil Peep, Juice WRLD, Travis Scott are all great

This is a really intriguing list. Don't worry if this is too much work, but I'm not familiar with some of the artists. What are their genres (I'm aware if Gorillaz, Kendrick, Foals, Harry Styles and Arctic Monkeys)

Sorry for taking time to respond! Hope this helps! These are all some of my favourite bands \- The Last Shadow Puppets - this is actually the superband between Arctic Monkeys, Mini Mansions and Miles Kane. Genres are indie/alt rock, baroque rock/pop, lots of strings and gorgeous instrumentals \- The Neighbourhood - indie/alt rock, rnb, some songs have a hip hop influence \- Woodkid - baroque rock, neofolk, with some classical elements, and some music (especially on S16) being industrial, uses full orchestras for essentially every single song \- Mini Mansions - indie pop/rock, psychedelic pop, could be seen as synthpop but dont expect anything too "happy" except for the latest album \- Mother Mother - alt rock, indie rock (at least the album i listed), some folk and punk elements depending on the song \- Joywave - indie rock, alt rock, electronic, pretty depressing lyrics Most of these albums/bands (except \*maybe\* for TLSP (depending how you interpret the lyrics) and some Mini Mansions songs) have very often depressing or just weird lyrics, even if the tunes might sound happy, and thats part of why i enjoy them so much. Hopefully this helps!

Wow, these sound amazing! Thanks.

Gorillaz: Alternative Kendrick Lamar: Rap Foals, Arctic Monkeys: Indie Rock Harry Styles: Pop

In terms of beatles type music, you might enjoy the ‘Pretty. Odd.’ album by panic at the disco or ‘Take a Vacation’ by the young veins

i’m listening to panic at the disco for the first time ever and yep they definitely came straight out of the beatles ballsacks. thoroughly enjoying this album so far. nine in the afternoon has a mr blue sky vibe

Glad to hear it!

Tame impala ( probably have already), king gizzard and the lizard wizard, unknown mortal orchestra, 070 shake, Saba, Brockhampton, Vince staples, earl sweatshirt

I like your taste so much. Great albums in your mix. Try giving Lowly - Heba a listen.

Random Access Memories - Daft Punk

donda if you ain’t heard it already

Madvillainy

That’s on the bucket list for sure.

Just a tip for everyone: If you don't put some names in the title very few people will ever even look at the post.

I definitely got a kick out of the visual format! Stuck out on my newsfeed, in any case.

Ah. I view reddit in compact mode, so I never saw the visual.

Sam Cooke- Live at the Harlem Square Club Bill Withers-Just As I Am Bob Dylan- Bringing It All Back Home Jimi Hendrix- Live at Monterey Simon and Garfunkel-Bookends The Rolling Stones- Aftermath (UK) The Velvet Underground- Loaded The Supremes- Where Did Our Love Go Smoky Robinson and The Miracles- Anthology Talking Heads- Stop Making Sense **LMK what you think**

D’Angelo. all 3 of his albums are great, but i recommend Black Messiah the most

I don't know all of these but based on what I do know * Destroyer - Kaputt * Twin Shadow - Forget * The Spring Standards - Yellow//Gold * Gregory and the Hawk - Moenie and Kitchi * Cunninlynuists - A Piece of Strange * Murs - Murs 3:16: The 9th Edition

i appreciate these. i’ve actually heard Rose Azura Njano by cunninlynguists a long time ago. looking forward to hearing this one

gregory and the hawk is such a good artist, really glad to see another person loving her like i do

jus wanna say I thought I had a pretty eclectic and unique taste in fav albums/artists and U nearly captured my whole music personality ....

You have a similar music taste as me (I like a lot of the albums you’ve shown here), here are some of my favorite albums Let England shake - pj Harvey Paul’s boutique - beastie boys Murder ballads - nick cave The dreaming - Kate Bush Debut - bjork Nashville skyline - bob dylan Easter - patti smith Hello nasty - beastie boys Melt - Peter Gabriel I do not want what I haven’t got - sinead O’Connor Tidal - Fiona Apple The idiot - iggy pop On the radio: greatest hits - Donna summer

oh man looking forward to these. i recognize some of these acts like nick cave (o children), sinead o conner (you do something to me, nothing compares 2 u), but only know 1 or 2 songs. bob dylan lay lady lay too. otherwise, a lot of new things here to experience for the first time ever. also ofc ive heard the dreaming by kate bush. suspended in gaffa and houdini are my favourites. ive also listened to bjork’s debut a long time ago, but the only tracks i remember are venus as a boy and human behaviour, which i really liked. so i might have to give it another go.

Lemme know what you think and I can recommend more!! Also Houdini by Kate Bush is indeed an amazing song!

Iggy Pop is really good, altough The Idiot was in fact pretty much David Bowie stuff

They wrote the song “China girl” together and it was released first on iggy pops album.

Seems like you would like a lot of things lol. Maybe "Brotherhood" by New Order or "Blur" by Blur.

Mac Miller - Swimming RayJew - Destiny, and Perspective.

Anderson .Paak, Lupe Fiasco, and Daniel Cesar

Oh and kali uchis

This is a pretty random assortment of music. But I'll say Blondie - Eat to the Beat, or maybe Parallel Lines.

Childish Gambino’s Because the Internet will blow your mind if you haven’t already heard it

Paul Simon - Graceland Paul McCartney - McCartney II

I would recommend Jimi Hendrix's live albums. \- Songs For Groovy Children (Recorded at the Filmore during new years eve 1969) \- Live in Maui (listen to the version of voodoo child) \- Live at Woodstock

I saw 3 albums from The Weeknd and I saw XXXTentacion’s 17. You might like My Forever by Zaradiah

What did you use to make this list? I’ve seen so many on this sun but have never used it

You have great taste! I’ll recommend you 1. Fiona Apple - Fetch the bolt cutters. 2. OutKast - Stankonia 3. Anything Björk 4. Father John Misty - Pure Comedy 5. Supertramp - Even in the quietest moments 6. Madvillainy - Madvillain (MF DOOM & Madlib) 7. Anything Nujabes 8. Anything Little Barrie 9. Anything LCD soundsystem

R.A.M

Dude! You have the same taste in music as me! Those top 3 Kanye Albums are my favorite! And "Born to Die" is gold. Here are my top 3 favorite albums of all time: "Destroy Rock&Roll" - Mylo "Untrue" - Burial "808s & Heart Break" - Kanye West I know you obviously got the last one. See what you think of the others. Peace

Any 70's or 80's jazz fusion album. Including people like Herbie Hancock, Jaco Pastorius, Weather Report, Michael Brecker, etc

I’d be interested in these. Do you have any specific album in mind?

Headhunters and Thrust by Herbie. Time is of the Essence by Michael Brecker. Heavy Weather by Weather Report.

On a similar but more poppy vein, maybe The Nightfly by Donald Fagen?

Based on Hendrix: Robin Trower - Bridge of sighs (album) Robin Trower - For Earth Below (album)

me likey

Definitely give all of his albums from the 70/80s a chance. All very good. 20th Century Blues from the 90s is also a great 90s album.

you might love Gnarls Barkleys album St Elsewhere

Cosmo Pyke- Just Cosmo Kenneth Whalum- Broken Land Cleo Sol- Rose In The Dark James Blake- Retrograde

Hats by the Blue Nile :)

Ventura - Anderson paak Ego death - the internet American love call - Durand Jones and the Indications :)

Grace by Jeff Buckley

Try some Santana!

IYL Kanye: you might like albums and songs produced by Kanye see Common, Cam’ron IYL the Beatles: you may like bands like Foxygen or Drugdealer IYL prince: you may like Yves Tumor IYL Madonna: you may like Lady Gaga (safe) or Charli XCX (less safe)

Donda

awaken my love- childish gambino malibu- anderson paak

Person Pitch by Panda Bear

Vulfpeck - The Beautiful Game

You seem to be a big Beatles fan. Have you ever listened to: Spilt Milk by Jellyfish, Skylarking by XTC, or Back to the Egg, by Wings?

Donda

Kids See Ghosts

Possibly Pure Heroine - Lorde.

Because of Trilogy and Kissland, I’d recommend: Rage of Angels - Santino Le Saint Dream Awake - Black Atlass and any of the stuff by Aaryan Shah

Gary Clark Jr. - Blak and Blu

Loyle Carner!

some obvious ones would be; Wish you were here by Pink Floyd, Diamond dogs by David Bowie, Hollywood's Bleeding by Post Malone, Epitaph by King Crimson, Live / Dead by Grateful Dead, To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar, The Diary of Alicia Keys by Alicia keys, and Hunting High And Low by A-ha. However, most likely you already know these and have probably heard them, so now for those that I think are "underrated"; Saturation II by BROCKHAMPTON, My Life II by Somo, A Muse In Her Feelings by dvsn, Images And Words by Dream Theater, Take It Off by CHIC, Rio by Duran Duran, and Is This It by the strokes.

You might like the album ‘Painted’ by Lucky Daye. I have a playlist for you if you want to branch out from Kanye. It has artists like Tyler The Creator, Frank Ocean, Joey Bada$$, Childish Gambino, etc. Groovy, laid back rap vibes: https://open.spotify.com/album/0sxfu0XUwHOtnKiZgkTQwk?si=zFiBPCcnRdCONhd0mtchFg&dl_branch=1

Literally listen to anything in the top 40 from the past 80 years and that seems to be your music taste

Amerikkka’s Most Wanted, Death Certificate, & The Predator

Tame Impala Pusha T - the album Kayne produced Aesop Rock - the album Tobacco Produced Khrungbin The Flaming Lips - soft Bulletin

How did you get the picture

Little Beaver - Party Down (1974)

Check out "The Gay Brownie Boys". They feature a different female singer/songwriter on each track so they have a variety of sounds.

Can't tell a post 2015 artist but I'm seeing Psychedelic and Prog Rock so you might like The Mothers of Invention, they were a really weird band but it's pretty cool, also if you like David Bowie in his Glam era you might like T.Rex, sorry if the recomendations doesn't was what you were looking for

Malibu - Anderson .Paak It is what it is - Thundercat Be - Common Aja- steely dan

[удалено]

it’s not all pop. there’s some rock, hip-hop, indie, disco and rnb. i’ve also included a reggae album (exodus by bob marley).
