Some of y'all may remember MTV's Alternative Nation or 120 Minutes, awesome programs & incredible ways to discover #music back in the 80s & 90s...

The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

I'm starting my morning off with some throwback rock with Ratboys "The Window". Despite the name of the band, it’s a woman-fronted slightly country-fried alternative band. It feels both fresh and familiar. Highly recommended.

Enjoying my Sunday morning coffee with Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation!

Thanks to Polydextrous@lemmy.world for reminding me of this awesome album!

The entirety of Hozier's Unreal Unearth album. Again. What can I say, I'm hooked.

Mars to Sirius my introduction to Gojira. Probably in the top 10 best metal bands of the 21st century.

Mötley Crüe Shout at the Devil. Their second and finest album. I doubt it would be appreciated here so I won’t link it.

[–] ren@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh dang. Thats unexpected
