If you like film track composers, have you checked out Karel Svoboda ? He was a brilliant composer. Also, have you checked out Ennio Morricone ?

At first I was like "what kind of band has a song name that long to have to put into that many initials..." And had no idea what it was till I read the other post you replied to :laugh4:

 

Haha, yeah their name is really long, but I love them for it; they're such a solid band! Here's one of their songs

Haha I love their name! :D

It reminds me of I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It (The 1975 album) just because it's so long lol:D

And really like that song!

I don't know the first person, but I know and like Morricone's work very much. Thanks for the advice, I'll check Svoboda soon [emoji6]

I saw the picture of the video and immediately thought hey I know that one. The flute has been banished from my mind and I'm trying to keep it that way. [emoji1]

Here's the artists I think I'll get at least a fair bit of content from in the future, based off of a few songs I already have from them, or just since I do think I might like their style of music based on comparisons with artists I already like but actually either haven't checked them out or don't have anything from them yet:

• Tyler Shaw
  
• Vanessa Carlton
  
• Yiruma
  

Yeah, quite a massive list I've gotta go through I know! I wonder how many of them I'll actually fully get to check out... and this isn't all, there's a few other possible candidates that I've either forgotten about now or I think has a less probability of me liking all their stuff. I had to go through my full playlist to find all of these. Now I know when I want to know what artists to check out next I just gotta check this thread :D

...if it weren't for Lithum on SXM I probably wouldn't know a quarter of these. :p

 

Count in dream theater here, probably the best heavy band out there. If you like very long complex epi music that's heavy with not a lot of screaming these guys are for you

[42JTR]

Woa bringing this thread back to life!

Well here's my list, I tried to put them in order (but preferences change now and then, depending on mood etc.) so currently:

 

Coldplay

The Killers

Noel Gallagher

U2

Muse

 

Nothing But Thieves

White Lies

Kodaline

Editors

OneRepublic

Foals

Liam Gallagher

Snow Patrol

Depeche Mode

 

Morning Parade (they don't exist anymore....)

Arctic Monkeys

Bastille

Kings of Leon

Imagine Dragons

Two Door Cinema Club

Mumford and Sons

Dua Lipa

The Chainsmokers (yes it's true, I'm seeing them live in 2018 lol)

 

Hurts

Thomas Azier (Dutch --> Worth a listen!)

Oscar and the Wolf (Belgian, same story)

Bazart (Belgian, same story)

J. Bernardt (same as above)

Netsky

A-ha

Simply Red

Rationale

Seafret

Sohn

The Kooks

The Script

[cp3176]

The Chainsmokers (yes it's true, I'm seeing them live in 2018 lol)

 

Imo they're fairly underrated. Almost everyone seems to despise their new album and as bland and generic as it is I don't see how anyone could think that acts like Future, 21 Savage, DJ Khaled or Nicki Minaj are any better than them. The acts I listed have music with no melodic variation for the most part, heavy autotune, and no emotion or soul. At least the Chainsmokers are melodic, energetic, emotional, fun, and know how to produce music that actually sounds right and normal and not fake or cheap like the acts I listed and any other similar acts.

 

I'd consider yourself lucky. I'd definitely go see the Chainsmokers live. I don't see why more people don't like their new album than they do... Terribly low score on Metacritic when there's hundreds and possibly thousands out there that deserve a lower rating.

No, the Chainsmokers aren't perfect,, and their music can sound bland, generic, cheesy, sappy, low-effort, cheap, and trite at times, but they're far better than some we all know, and most mainstream artists aren't perfect anyway, including Coldplay.
