I'm watching "The real reason algorithms are bad for art" by Digging the greats and can't remember the last time I asked real humans for recommendations for music. At one point, he is going around asking people of artists/albums that they recommend. I thought that was a cool idea. Then I thought, what if I asked lemmy/mastodon/ect and see what you all recommend?

Who is your favorite artist and what song/album would you recommend?

I'm looking to expand my horizons a bit.

I'll start.

There's a local band called the red coats. I think they only have one album. I can't find a Bandcamp link but their music is here should you like to hear them. My wife and I saw them live at tiny little shops.

A couple of my favorites, in no particular order...

Dessa - Mineshaft II Dessa writes some of the most evocative, lyrically dense songs I've ever heard.

The Gits - Guilt Within Your Head The Gits were a Seattle-based punk rock band that were poised to blow up big in the early 90s. Tragically, lead singer Mia Zapata was murdered just 4 days after they signed their first major contract.

Titus Andronicus - (I'm) Screwed A long-running and critically acclaimed hard rock band that's avoided finding mainstream success. One of the best live acts I've seen.

I'd like to add Whirlwind by The Gits to this list.

Years back I saw Dessa open for another show. Fell in love with Skeleton Key
