Examples of bands or singers with ”androgynous” or otherwise confusing vocals when it comes to gender? I remember thinking as a child that songs sung by Tracy Chapman were sung by a man. With SpiritBox that I’ve only been discovering this past week I kept changing my mind whether the vocals come from a high pitched singing man or from a woman. 😀 I haven’t read anything about this band nor I saw any music video or any promo photo of them so I was…

If you can only hear 3 musicians/bands for the rest of your life, who do you choose? Imagine that for the rest of your life you will only be able to hear 3 musicians, bands, music groups etc. I’d go for The Beatles, Post Malone and Ed Sheeran. On the one hand there is such a catalogue of absolutely timeless music available (Beatles), on the other hand there is a lot of music in the direction of hip hop and pop with Post Malone. …

Bands or Artists with Colors in Their Name I know there are probably many obvious ones I’m forgetting. Please help me add to this list. Black Sabbath White Stripes Simply Red Yellow Magic Orchestra Black Crowes Pink Green Day Brownsville Station? Pink Floyd The Average White Band Red Lorry Yellow Lorry Red Rider Agent Orange Big Black Cream Green Jello White Flag Tangerine Dream ​ ​ …

Bands that use more than one drummer at the same time? So I’m a huge Dispatch fan. For the longest time since they formed it was Chad on vocals /guitar, brad on backup vocals/drums, and pete on bass. At some point, pete left the band because he was dealing with depression. So they added another bassist and another drummer.(plus another banjoist but that’s not really relevant to this discussion) so e…

Bands with multiple main songwriters For years I’ve been fascinated with bands where 2 or more people serve as principal songwriters and their styles are distinct and characteristic. A very obvious and classic example – The Beatles, you can really tell McCartney songs apart from Lennon’s and Harrison’s. Each of them brings something different to the table, they may work together bu…

What are some artists/bands that are criminally underrated or unknown by most people? Terry Allen for me is the biggest example of this. Every single one of his albums are unique & sometimes humorous experiences and so many of his songs are just gems. From Flat Land Farmer on Lubbock On Everything, to Cocaine Cowboy & Whatever Happened To Jesus on Smoke The Dummy. To the hilarious Buck Naked on Human Remains. My favorite being …

What album is the “St Anger” of some otherwise great bands? “St Anger” is the much maligned 8th studio album by metal kings Metallica. Inner turmoil within the band, personal demons, and a rogue snare drum contributed to this being the most loathed of Metallicas releases, and rightfully so. What are some other examples of bands losing their direction and releasing a “shit sandwich?” submitted by /…

Modern rock artists or bands? Used to listen to all the old 80s rock songs but I’m interested with the rock scene today. Title basically. Who’re the recent names that have come up in rock in today’s era? I’d love some links to some of their best songs to see how it’s been carrying along submitted by /u/fareproductions332

What are some examples of bands/artists who’ve had 2 hit songs decades apart that sound totally different? I’m always fascinated when I hear 2 well-known songs that I’ve heard for years but only later realised they’re by the same band because they changed their sound so drastically over time. I often find it with rock/blues artists who started in the 60s/70s and then started incorporating more electronic/pop elements into the 80s, for example: Chica…

The coolest logos of bands? Name them here and if you wish describe why. They can be either cool from a purely design oriented point of view or impressive as they do strongly resonate with the style of the music. ​ My favourites are off the top of my head: The Rolling Stones logo. Not much to explain here I think, this mouth with sticking out tongue image has been forever etched into pop culture. Wheelchair Wheelchai…

Famous successful groups and bands that broke up due to member friction.. Question is oddly phrased due auto filter, but should add super successful groups who were at a peak or a successful moment in their careers and the friction got too much… My list so far: Lennon/McCartney The Police / Sting Gallagher Brothers Oasis Mustaine/Metallica Homme/Oliveri (QOTSA) Frye/Henley/all the Eagles Go-gos NWA New Order Cream C…

Are there any bands you got into too late to see live or they perform so infrequently that you can’t see them live? I recently really started digging through the catalogue and finding songs I like from the Presidents of the United States of America. I knew Lump already through Weird Al parodying it as Gump, but I never really got into them otherwise. Now that I have I really dig the sound and the vibe and I’ve seen some live performances of theirs on YouTube …

Black/shadowed vertical bands on manual shots but not automatic (led’s?) Hey all, so I’ve been asked to shoot for a minor event and am definitely a beginner who’s getting experience and definitely have so much to learn. So I went to the first day of the even early as I could to get lighting and stuff down before guests arrived, but noticed that there were black/shadowed vertical bands throughout all the images. So I…

How many “…And The…” bands/groups/artists can Reddit think of? The Spotify DJ recommended a great song I’ve never heard before. It was called Tyrants by Catfish and the Bottlemen and I thought it would be fun to compile a list of artists with the naming style “__and the__” What do ya got? submitted by /u/seizethatcheese

Most famous bands that were either not on MTV at all, or very infrequently? To those of you who grew up during those days, I was wondering what bands that turned out be quite well known in retrospect, happened to not be shown on MTV all too much during the 80s 90s and 2000s? Doesn’t have to be household name bands either. Just generally well known ones. To start, I imagine Iron Maiden would qualify for this discussion? …

Folky bands with lush harmonies a la Crosby, Stills, & Nash (and Young)? Looking to expand my taste with the soothing sounds of harmonies and folk/folk-rock. Stuff that helps you relax. Stuff that you can sing along to and feel like you’re adding to the harmony. Anything old and new welcome! submitted by /u/jaydubs95

Bands who released their best album after ten-year mark My husband and I have struggled to find a band who released their widely-agreed-upon best album after ten years of being together. We’ve tried to be careful to make sure it’s not our favorite album, but what is widely considered their best album. This leads me to think that the first ten years of a band tend to be their best years. Bands or arti…

Examples of bands that you cannot warm up to only because of the vocals? For me Lacuna Coil, I like many similar bands to them but the voice of that guy and his intrusion into way too many songs of them that seems absolutely redundant turns me off. ​ Another would be Summoning. I’m often in the mood for this kind of atmospheric metal music and their compositions are good but his voice/enunciation is just ugly for me….

Artists/bands who called it a day at the right time The title is self-explanatory. REM is a perfect example of a band who broke up because they felt they’d gone as far as they could. Don’t know about the other guys, but Michael Stipe is now a photographer. To some extent, Grace Slick as well. After Starship, she jumped ship, did a reunion album with Jefferson Airplane, and then left the music bus…
