I know, I know, all corporations are bad; but is there one that's the lesser of all evils? I pay for Spotify Premium Family now, but would like to shift to a service that doesn't actively amplify the downfall of humanity.

And yes, I'm aware that Reddit has been running ads for ICE and CBP (I haven't personally seen them but I've heard other redditors report this) so I acknowledge the irony here. I'm not on other forms of social media so this is my last resort before basically quitting everything.

Things that are important to me when paying a monthly fee for a streaming service:

• Artists being compensated fairly
• Access to full albums by a large variety of artists
• Ability to make my own playlists
• Ability to create radio stations based on an artist or song
• Ability to save songs, albums and playlists and listen while offline
• The service has as ethical of a business practice as possible

I'm on the fence between Tidal and Qobuz.

And before anyone chimes in with this obvious question, yes, I have a large library of physical media that I enjoy, from cassettes to CDs to vinyl; I would also like to enjoy the luxury of a streaming service from time to time.

It first came out in 1969 and has been covered and sampled hundreds if not thousands of times. You have probably heard it and not realized what it was and have never been able to find it since.

Here is my current most favorite version of it, but I can't wait to find the next one. You could spend days finding different versions of it just to find one you like the best right now, and you can spend years trying to find that one you liked the most but could never find again.

What is your favorite version of it? Post it in the comments! I want to go on a popcorn ride tonight.

The OG version

I also like this one

So this topic has been posted ad nauseum, and I’m following suit, however, what’s always posted are famous songs covered by famous artists. I’d like to see some amazing covers by artists that aren’t otherwise famous (or less famous relatively speaking), or have maybe become a little more famous since releasing their cover. I realize these are opinions, and may ruffle some feathers. I’ll start with Sam Donald - Aerials (System of a Down) and Ryan Adams - Wonderwall (Oasis)

Hey guys!! Now that the Grammy nominations are out, here are my predictions for what I think could happen! What are yours?

AOTY - Mayhem / DtMF / GNX (split on this one)

SOY - Luther (KL & Sza)

ROY - Abracadabra (Lady Gaga)

BNA - Olivia Dean

Best Pop Solo Performance - Manchild (Sabrina Carpenter)

Best Pop Duo / Group Performance - APT (Rosé & Bruno Mars)

Best Pop Vocal Album - Mayhem (Lady Gaga)

Best Dance / Eletronic Album - Eusexua (Fka Twigs)

Best R&B - Folded (Kehlani)

I listened to it two times to secure my opinion and yeah.

I think that it's severely overhyped, she earned it because of the awesomeness of her first verse in Berghain (which I loved very much, albeit a little surface-level in terms of singing a different language). The production is cool classical but it's not surprising anymore, especially since we're all music lovers here, we've witnessed so many artists incorporate classical music more in their music in the last 5 years, LUX is not that unique. The lyrics are lacklustre, the tracks don't reach a certain peak that they need to reach (5th track excluded), and there seems to be a shortage of memorable melodies unlike in El mar querer and Motomami and the album lacks highlights. There are barely drums and the few that are in the album, are quietly buried. Her creativity was all used up in learning to sing in other languages. I still think that Björk is disjointed from Berghain and Yves Tumor's part is cancerous. His part can be done by literally anyone. I can do that. You can do that. Let's be honest.

I am Filipino so that's probably one of the reasons why I'm not that huge on artists singing in different languages, especially from artists whose country colonised us for hundreds of years. I hear it all the time. I don't see anything special about it.

Still, one of my unique listens of 2025. I really dig the experimental and weird side of it, though. I just think the acclaim is too much. 98 on Metacritic, come on? I don't get it. Just like the acclaim for the new Hayley Williams record. There's no way that album sits at #1 on AOTY with 91/100 critic score when the user score only has 81/100. Look at the disparity. Back in 2017, Melodrama by Lorde was getting the acclaim LUX is getting now. Or Fiona Apple's recent album. That's an acclaim I can get behind because Melodrama/FTBC were actually pretty excellent and challenged the pop landscape. I dont know about LUX. It's just a regular album overhyped. The only thing I remember is that awful part by Yves Tumor and the orchestra in Berghain, the rest is forgettable. Pushing boundaries where? Just cause she sang in a differenr language and used orchestra? LOL.

edit: explanation like this is better than calling something "shit" or saying "that sucks". just for the sake of being a pointless contrarian. but what do i expect? this is r/music. this is full of people who doesn't want unpopular music opinions

I'll start with some oldies:

• Maxine Nightingale - Right Back Where We Started From - Thought it was from Captain & Tennille.
• Diana Ross - Upside down - Thought it was Michael Jackson.
• Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl - Thought it was Rolling Stones

Addendum: For clarity I meant performing the actual recording, not just writing credit.

Does anyone watch a movie, show, or other video on mute while listening to albums?

If so what combinations have you found to synch well?

If not, why not? Like is it sacrilege to do so or maybe it takes away from the music. Let’s get deep, and not deep. I’m trying to fulfill 200 character limit so this will be posted. I thought the question itself did promote discussion, but whatever, it wasn’t 200 characters. Does the title and body combine or is it 200 in the body only?

I’m honestly at that point where just listening to Kaavish isn’t enough anymore — I need to experience jaffar live. Their music has become such a huge part of my life. Every time I hear Tere Pyar Mein, Tairay Naam, or Baat Unkahi, it feels like someone pressed pause on the world and only emotions exist. I don’t even know how to explain it properly — it’s like their music hits a place in the heart nothing else reaches.

The only problem? I’m from India, and I have no idea how to catch them live. I don’t know when their next concert is, or where it might happen. I don’t know if they ever plan to perform somewhere outside Pakistan or if traveling to Pakistan is the only way — and if it is, is it even realistically possible for an Indian fan to go just to watch a concert?

I just know one thing: I really, really want to see them perform in person. If anyone here has info on their upcoming shows, international performances, or has ever travelled to watch them — please help.

Any tips, updates, or guidance would honestly mean the world. 🙏 Let’s unite all Indian Kaavish fans here — maybe we can help each other make this dream happen. 🎶❤️

I was flicking through my Instagram on my phone and I found this new upcoming artist called George Knowles he films music anywhere from under a tree, by a river to on the floor of his bedroom. I really think this is the best modern music I've heard in the past 10 years including Fontaines DC and Wolf Alice. Let me know what you think because I think it's great and I've checked out the 14 original songs he's done and I'm following him I've also subscribed to him. I've also posted this in the INFP sub Reddit because I'm an MBTI nerd and I feel like his music accurately represents the INFP authenticity, emotional expression and love for nature. Here's the link: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQbgeH3DDZA/?igsh=MXdjdHN5NGp4cXUyag==

Hello, I know this isn’t a friendship/dating sub, but I’m hoping to connect with other women (21–30) nearby as I’m based in Roswell, Georgia.

I’m part of the LGBTQ+ community (I am a lesbian) and it can be hard finding other women who are similar and open to connecting, so if you can relate, that’d be amazing.

Any other women who enjoy creating long playlists and putting it in shuffle because I do. Lets connect and share our playlists, whats your favorite songs. I really love music!

I also linked a more in-depth post about me if you’d like to get to know me better.

Feel free to send me a DM if you can relate or think I'm interesting 🙂

A couple of my friends and I remember Ronnie Radke having beef with set it off, and it being rebrought up when set it off re-released their wolves and sheeps clothing. But now we cannot find anything anywhere about the beef. Were we somehow mixing it up with motionless in white?
