A place to ask for music suggestions and help others discover something new.

Please read the rules before posting:

  1. Be Polite
  2. No Spam
  3. There are two types of contributions we expect in this community. Requesting suggestions and giving suggestions. Please make requests in posts and give suggestions on comments.
  4. Please keep your suggestions relevant to the request. You may also share with our community in our weekly pinned “Recommendations” post.
  5. If your suggestion is your own music or playlist please mark your post as self promo

Hopefully this will insure that your suggestion gets seen by the right people and everyone’s searches will hopefully be more fruitful.

If you can, try to stay away from trending/Top 100 songs. Most of us are probably aware of them.

Playlist of love songs for my wife

As the title says, I'm creating a playlist of songs for Christmas that will let my wife of 15 years know how much I truly love her. I already have songs like "Love of a Lifetime" by Firehouse and "I Knew I Loved You" by Savage Garden on there, along with some of the more well known love songs, but I'm open to suggestions.

What songs make you feel like you’re in a movie while walking the streets of New York City (or any city really)?

NYC is just iconic. My favorites are “The Only Living Boy in New York” by Simon and Garfunkel, alongg with “Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters” by Elton John (and Bernie Taupin of course).

I am Brazilian and I listen from a lot of music from my country, if you are interested, AMA

I know that there is a decent amount of people from different countries that are interested in Brazilian music, but they usually listen to the generic stuff (because it is not easy to get to the gold as a foreigner). And there is also a lot of experimental music in Brazil. So if you are interested, I am here to give you suggestions

I would love to know your opinion on the suggestions, also

Looking for heavy classical music (bonus points for featuring an organ)

Like the title says - I've seen the heavy classical youtube playlists, and now I'd like to find some songs that heavily feature organ as well (see Castlevania boss theme). Basically as close to metal as you can get without electric guitars (although I'll take suggestions with guitar too!!)

Classical or contemporary music is fine, any instruments allowed, as well as vocals.

Songs similar to Edelweiss (Sound of Music)

My baby is really soothed by the song Edelweiss from Sound of Music. I think it is the vocals (male and female), 3/4 time signature, acoustic guitar, major key... any songs similar in vibe I could play him? Youtube suggestions just suggest the rest of the Sound of Music Soundtrack but that isn't what I am looking for.

Something similar to early black sabbath

I know sabbath is unique in their sound but i want something as dark sounding as the stuff on like master of reality. If it helps with suggestions, i adore early soundgarden especially with tracks like beyond the wheel. I want something not too high tempo but absolutely apocalyptic sounding. Thanks

Dancey Indie-Rock/Indie-Pop Songs

I'm looking for songs, ideally indie, with a strong dance feel and a bass heavy arrangement with present guitars. The vibe wouldn't be too hyped so it's less EDM and dance-punk, I'd prefer there to be a hint of chill.

Song Examples:

  • Instant Crush by Daft Punk, Julian Casablancas;
  • Bodys by Car Seat Headrest;
  • wachito rico by Boy Pablo;
  • Welcome to Japan by the Strokes.

Thank you!

To have or to be successful

I need songs that doesn't make the ego grow and it's about struggling to have success-passion in life but the person has specific mental issues and amaze everyone and someone being feeling like u are better than any one (Not ego growing way) and just being all this inspiration, legendary one in life , going foreward.

and pls again ; No spotify, Only Youtube, No religious song.
