Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!
See this post on recs on how to post!
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.

Where to find ren:
@jarulf @alternativenation I saw Tank Girl (1995) in theatres with my girlfriend at the time.
Glory Box features in a small scene.

She bought the album the next day, and it blew us away.
I am so deeply in love with this album, itβs my #2 personally most influential album.
@Anrky @alternativenation I'm listening to Glory Box this minute! I never saw Tank Girl, but clearly I have to now.
Dummy really is a glorious album.
Portishead is amazing and even bands long dead can bring joy as long as we have access to their work!
@ren Absolutely. Portishead was the only Triphop band I listened to until relatively recently, but they have led me on to #MazzyStar and #MassiveAttack.
What I usually listened to was classics like #BobDylan, #SimonAndGarfunkel, #TheBand etc. Also lots and lots of #REM and #ToriAmos (who made me discover #KateBush)
But hey, I love #JohannSebastianBach and #Allegri too. π
that's an amazing list of artists! Love me some REM and Amos.
