So who’s your favourite band or artist? What’s your favourite song or album?
I’m keen to hear both who you’re currently listening to, as well as your all-time favourites and guilty pleasures.
What do you like about them? How did you get into their music? And significant stories or memories?

Norwegian indigenous electro pop group KEiiNO. My favourite song of theirs is Monument https://youtu.be/jQaiarjof2kI love the joy in their music and the interesting was they incorporate indigenous music traditions and the Saami language. I originally heard them at Eurovision but didn’t properly get into them until a while later.
Have a bunch of memories but a fave is that they were touring Australia in 2019 and had two near sold out shows in Melbourne. I saw a Facebook post about a third show. Seemed suspicious. Wasn’t on the bands website or other places I’d expect to see it listed, ticket price was weirdly low and a venue that didn’t seem to usually do live music was listed. Some friends and I were bored so decided to go see just in case it was real. It was actually real. A dozen fans and a dozen random bar patrons had a great time dancing along to their music and chatting with them between sets

@ajsadauskas @music@fedibb.ml @music@lemmy.ml Thanks for asking but this is such a hard question- it’s already challenging to do a top 10. One fave springing to mind is the Minutemen’s magnum opus, Double Nickels on the Dime, which out-punked everything in the US hardcore scene in the early 80s. Varied, clever, original, full of the joy of making tunes w your pals. Genre busting, in a way. Probably listened to this double LP over the years more than any other. Good times.

@ajsadauskas @music@fedibb.ml @music@lemmy.ml my favorite band is slightly stoopid from San Diego California, I stumbled upon there music at a Dave Mathew’s Concert in the parking lot lol . I got a promo cd with a few songs on and one stuck out from this band #slightlystoopid
@ajsadauskas @music@fedibb.ml @music@lemmy.ml My all time favorite song is Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd. I first heard it when returning from a hitch hiking trip through Eastern Europe at 16. I was trying to live my life spending as little money as possible back then as a screw you to capitalism, and my guilty pleasure was buying Pink Floyd vinyls in used record stores. The song still gives me chills decades later.
These days I listen a lot to SebastiAn, Knower, Justice, Vulfpeck, Carpenter Brut, Lorn.

Favorite band of all time is #Opeth , even though an ex got me into them decades ago, they’re still my favorite 🥲
Can’t pick a favorite song, but my favorite album is Blackwater Park. I know they’ve lost a lot of fans as their style has evolved, but I also really enjoy their more recent albums.
Fun fact: they formed right around the time I was born, so I went to their 20th anniversary USA tour when I was 20. Already feels like ages ago.
@ajsadauskas@aus.social @music@fedibb.ml @music@lemmy.ml i know this probably boring and pedestrian, but for a 70 y.o. My band is Pink Floyd and album of forever is Dark Side of the Moon. I own at least six copies, from LPs to SACDs. The album is a classic.

Phish. No particular album, because they’re not really that kind of band. But the first two shows I saw live are now available as official releases (7/16 and 7/17/98). As an kid who grew up steeped in classic rock, and had developed a taste for improvisation, those shows were (and still are) mind blowing.

@ajsadauskas @music@fedibb.ml @music@lemmy.ml my all time favourite band is Nickelback, favourite album is feed the machine. Currently I really enjoy listening to Stiftelsen as well as 5 Seconds of Summer 🌞

I just picked up “Aisles”, a cover EP by #AngelOlsen, and the debut album from #WetLeg on vinyl for the turntable I just pulled out of storage.
All time fave is #Genesis, especially the transition album “Duke”
