My favorites depend on my mood at the time. I’ll start with one: Old Crow Medicine Show, O.C.M.S.

I was just introduced to Viagra Boys on my recent birthday by the owner of a new Detroit style pizza place on my block. They remind me of Queens of the Stone Age, which happens to be a favorite band of both of us.

If you tuned into KDFC and listened live, you would hear a lot of my favorites.

Chappell Roan won best new artist tonight at the Grammys. She recently toured in Madison and her show sold out quickly.

Am I allowed to suggest songs? I hardly listen to full albums.

Also, may I suggest this

This is a great way to discover new music. (Use it on a computer.)

You can click random genres, type in artists you like and get a lot more suggestions. I love looking at it when I want new music.

edit: I know you want our top 10, but I thought I’d throw that link out there anyways.

@Forever_Free If you tell me what you like I’ll find something new. If I tell you what I like, you’ll recommend something similar. I’ll put my list at the end here in a day or so.

@Blackwater_Park My point was to be able to provide choices outside your listening norm once I understood what might be NEW to you. I was merely trying to honor the spirit of your request wholeheartedly.
I am enjoying all the other listing “outside my norm”.

Music is my love language.

My top ten fluctuate, there are a few that will always be there but 5 or so tend to move out in favor of something new.
In no particular order:

Porcupine Tree, Fear of a blank planet It just ticks all the boxes.
Goldfrapp, Felt mountain The atmosphere this creates is really something special
Pink Floyd, Darkside of the moon Of course this is on here, it will likely never leave.
IHLO, Union Doubt most people have heard of them, but it’s a new one on the list for me. It may not stay here long but it’s been one I keep on my turntable.
Agalloch, The Mantle Another that creates an atmosphere you can get lost in.
Massive Attack, Blue lines While Mezzanine is probably the better album, I keep coming back to this
Blue States, Man mountain Why? Not sure, just keep playing it.
Iron Maiden, Powerslave Yes, it’s their best and the anthem of my teens.
Kreator, Enemy of God This slot always has some album like this. Depends on my mood.
Devin Towndsend, Terria His whole catalog is good, it’s hard to choose.
Blood Incantation, Absolute Elsewhere Honorable mention because it’s my album of the year.
