All his music is a fun wholesome bop really. He was a Eurovision contestant during covid so his second entry after the shutdown was a love song to his wife for their 10 year anniversary.
Ah man. Always so relevant. Ancient but ever present present.
Listening to this version I think the mastering could be better. The intro is killer and haunting, but the bass is blown out at 1:37. You have to be careful with this song and NOFX always knew that if you listen to the original album version. Its got a point to make and if you take it too lightly you can't make the point. Like I'd really like to hear this without the audience noise and maybe not a full orchestra, just the bass and brass section. The winds and percussion (especially the xylophone) are too light-hearted.
I actually prefer this version over the album version. Sure, the sound could be improved here and there. But it's punkrock in the end. Doesn't need to be perfect.
Yep all women. They've been my gateway into the genre. I've not gotten into it much because I like being able to understand vocals with minimal effort, but I feel like the vocalist in Crypta does a pretty good job at being articulate and it's raised my tolerance enough for me to explore some other bands.
Thanks for the post btw, I've been enjoying some new artists and great classics so far :D

To answer your question, this is wholly dependent on your taste. 'Cool music' is subjective, so i don't want to recommend you anything I listen to. As another comment said, you can look to this thread to see what you may like.
Personally I use Spotify, and I know that the fediverse is generally averse to corporate music streaming platforms—especially them—but those guys never fail to recommend me a song i will like. A lot of my playlist is curated from their recommendations, so I'd also say you can start there.
Algorithms will occasionally turn up cool stuff but the best way is chatting with other folks who enjoy music. The algorithm of Spotify or yt music is often an easier place to find more music like what you already know you like. The more stuff you like, the more likely it is you'll find stuff in common with other people and you can ask them for reccomendations based on what you enjoy :)
But just hearing what other people are really into is a great way to broaden your horizons and hear a bunch of different kinds of cool stuff you wouldn't have found otherwise. I sometimes also like to look up the music that folks show in c/unixporn screenshots or that people mention in YouTube videos :) (oh, and sometimes you'll hear something good as part of the music for a video, movie scoring, etc, thats always cool too)
Hmm. I don't think I've ever tried to decide on a favorite song. I'll have a ponder.
I've been playing this often recently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY6RbPaTNUc 5MIINUST x Puuluup - (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi | Estonia Official Video 🇪🇪
Nor do I! It's something like "we don't know anything about those drugs" but they do and they're hiding from the police. Or something, based on the YouTube comments.
Can't say I have a all-time favourite but my favourite right now is Watch Your Mouth by The Backseat Lovers. I heard it in a cafe yesterday and got hooked on the band.
Not bad. I will say that I've come to like much punchier rock music than the classic rock flavour. I could've seen myself enjoying this much more back in my ACDC phase—which wasn't that long ago tbh
The one that pops up in my head is https://.youtube.com/watch?v=5C2LJE2SYfE. And i very much like the meaning "buy strawberries instead of war machines". I wish some high ranking israelies would value this song more (i know that the band was at popular there a decade ago)
(sorry for over explaining, im just anxious but want to share and dont mean harm)
I believe I would've been able to better value this song had i understood its content—I believe that's Hebrew? Unable to interpret the lyrics, i unfortunately have to rate this what i would usually rate songs of this flavour:
I usually like the music more than lyrics, but most of my favorites are lyricals, and this has best of lytrics and the music. there is flute, guitar, indian classic and western stuff all mixed. It is my daily alarm.
I can't have a favorite, but man we wore out the newest Fontaines DC album. On that record, the last song is "Favorite". I love it but also love that only a few months after it came out, this guy did an amazing cover of the song, my husband asks me to play this whenever he hears me listening to the original. So- my favorite song called Favorite is:
This was a fantastic listen. Very well done song and fantastic singing from the performer. Just to really appreciate this one, i went ahead and listened to the original, and i must say this version is much better.
I had to check to see if this was an anime OP lol. Fantastic song. I've always liked this style of... I don't know what genre this is, so I'll just say Japanese music.
Hard to pick a single one, so here are a few:
Destiny Potato - Addict
David Maxim Micic - Where is Now?
Dream Theater - Learning to Live (the version from Live Scenes from New York)
Dimmu Borgir - Kings of the Carnival Creation
..I hope you're not short on time. It's all about the buildup.
Ok ok. I picked Addict and Learning to live. I'll start with Addict and sheeesh i wasn't expecting it to slap that hard. I love me some Djent and this satiated my taste buds pretty well.
10/10
Learning to live was also fantastic. A bit long but was melodious all through.
Nah, I'd label it extreme progressive metal but not djent. This album is all in standard tuning on standard-range guitars.
For a really clean djent example, Periphery released MAKE TOTAL DESTROY around the same time that Ne Obliviscaris released Portal of I. The word "djent" actually comes from the sound of playing staccato on the lowest string of a downtuned or extended-range guitar, e.g. 1:09 of MAKE TOTAL DESTROY (although the whole song is djent as fuck 🤘😈🤘). On this track, the lowest string is 8 semitones below standard. Colloquially, the guitarist is "almost playing bass".
NeO was probably aware of djent at the time of release, but my understanding is that the compositions on Portal of I (1) are more black metal influenced, i.e. NeO is a "prog-ification" of black metal, and (2) predate the online djent movement. NeO's next album actually did venture a little bit into djent territory since it was recorded with extended range guitars in that instrument's standard tuning.
Holy shit that song is metal aff!! I didn't know that's what djent specifically referred to and I've been listening to a lot of Gojira and Meshuggah for months. Thanks for that tidbit.
Bad bunny is always a treat to listen to. This particular song makes me feel like i should be in the club. The constant beat switches also add to that giving it that DJ vibe.
Theme Song for The Secret of Monkey Island (Using the Roland MT-32 which was an external and semi professional music synth device for those that aren't familiar)
And to show what the difference is and why I find it amazing here is a comparison with just a few seconds of the song on each of a bunch of different sound devices. This was possible with live synth at home in 1990 or actually earlier but this is one of the best examples.
Like many people I'm not sure I actually have a real favorite but this is what came to mind first along with several songs from the Chrono Trigger soundtrack. Chrono Trigger is also one of the shining examples of taking a limited older sound device and wringing every last drop of capability out of it. So clearly an obsession of mine with music is created under technical limitations.
I would put something from the Kirite album form him but it is basically not available anywhere for streaming at least not in English searchable websites. I did find a torrent for it along with hundreds of other songs of his but didn't want to go that far in sharing on this sort of thread.
I'll add that I probably should have just posted a Chrono Trigger track in the first place since while I'm unsure of my favorite music the game itself has been my personal number one game for a couple decades now.
It's actually from 2022. I'd call it somewhat new age folk as I know they have an electric violin. Thanks for checking out the song! Love the idea for this post.

feel free to peruse my grotesquely bloated "Current obsession - Japan" playlist: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1qp2kWRqMd77nsVXr2jG5um4DpMWNn5Y
Also Cody Fry (and the guitarist on that track, Cory Wong) is all around fantastic and worth a dive

Y'know what? I originally didn't like this and was probably gonna give it like a 4, but for some reason the tune is really catchy.
6/10 because this is gonna be stuck in my head for a week
ambitiousslab@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 213d
I quite like Three Rings by Grizzly Bear.
Also, good luck listening to everything :) I'll join you in listening to at least some of them, this is a nice random mixture of music to try!

Hard to pick a single one, so here are a few:
Destiny Potato - Addict
David Maxim Micic - Where is Now?
Dream Theater - Learning to Live (the version from Live Scenes from New York)
Dimmu Borgir - Kings of the Carnival Creation
..I hope you're not short on time. It's all about the buildup.

neidu3@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 213d
Impossible to choose. Pick any 2.
GrammarPolice@piefed.social · 1 pts · 213d
Ok ok. I picked Addict and Learning to live. I'll start with Addict and sheeesh i wasn't expecting it to slap that hard. I love me some Djent and this satiated my taste buds pretty well.
10/10
Learning to live was also fantastic. A bit long but was melodious all through.
7/10

Damn that's tough. I would say either Lola Montez by Volbeat or Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd
GrammarPolice@piefed.social · 2 pts · 212d
2 very good selections from you here, but inevitably, Pink Floyd has to come out on top.
9/10 for Comfortably Numb and 7/10 for Lola Montez

As Icicles Fall by Ne Obliviscaris
GrammarPolice@piefed.social · 2 pts · 213d
Long af, but totally worth it. Solid heavy metal (Djent?)
8/10
PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org · 2 pts · 213d
Nah, I'd label it extreme progressive metal but not djent. This album is all in standard tuning on standard-range guitars.
For a really clean djent example, Periphery released MAKE TOTAL DESTROY around the same time that Ne Obliviscaris released Portal of I. The word "djent" actually comes from the sound of playing staccato on the lowest string of a downtuned or extended-range guitar, e.g. 1:09 of MAKE TOTAL DESTROY (although the whole song is djent as fuck 🤘😈🤘). On this track, the lowest string is 8 semitones below standard. Colloquially, the guitarist is "almost playing bass".
NeO was probably aware of djent at the time of release, but my understanding is that the compositions on Portal of I (1) are more black metal influenced, i.e. NeO is a "prog-ification" of black metal, and (2) predate the online djent movement. NeO's next album actually did venture a little bit into djent territory since it was recorded with extended range guitars in that instrument's standard tuning.
GrammarPolice@piefed.social · 2 pts · 213d
Holy shit that song is metal aff!! I didn't know that's what djent specifically referred to and I've been listening to a lot of Gojira and Meshuggah for months. Thanks for that tidbit.

Bad bunny is always a treat to listen to. This particular song makes me feel like i should be in the club. The constant beat switches also add to that giving it that DJ vibe.
Solid 9/10

Theme Song for The Secret of Monkey Island (Using the Roland MT-32 which was an external and semi professional music synth device for those that aren't familiar)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3dB0qEcG20
And to show what the difference is and why I find it amazing here is a comparison with just a few seconds of the song on each of a bunch of different sound devices. This was possible with live synth at home in 1990 or actually earlier but this is one of the best examples.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a324ykKV-7Y
Like many people I'm not sure I actually have a real favorite but this is what came to mind first along with several songs from the Chrono Trigger soundtrack. Chrono Trigger is also one of the shining examples of taking a limited older sound device and wringing every last drop of capability out of it. So clearly an obsession of mine with music is created under technical limitations.
GrammarPolice@piefed.social · 1 pts · 213d
Not bad. I will say that it lacks a fair bit of variation for my palette.
5/10. If you had instead posted a crono trigger track though, you'd have received a 10/10. The best from that era.
Here's my favourite.
Thrawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 212d
Excellent track from CT. How about one extra since you like Mitsuda's work with Chrono Trigger.
This is from an orchestrated reimagining of some of the music of Xenogears. Not some fan project either, made by Mitsuda himself.
Xenogears Creid - 03 Balto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwnNVOl4fx
I would put something from the Kirite album form him but it is basically not available anywhere for streaming at least not in English searchable websites. I did find a torrent for it along with hundreds of other songs of his but didn't want to go that far in sharing on this sort of thread.
I'll add that I probably should have just posted a Chrono Trigger track in the first place since while I'm unsure of my favorite music the game itself has been my personal number one game for a couple decades now.
GrammarPolice@piefed.social · 1 pts · 212d
Video is unplayable :(. But you just reminded me that Zenogears is in my backlog and i should probably get to playing it.

This wasn't bad. Unfortunately I'm not really a fan of this type of country music. Very 60s—correct me if I'm wrong.
I'll give 5/10
Albbi@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 211d
It's actually from 2022. I'd call it somewhat new age folk as I know they have an electric violin. Thanks for checking out the song! Love the idea for this post.

I can‘t decide on a favourite song. Here is my favourite song of my favourite band: Fluisteraars - De Doornen
GrammarPolice@piefed.social · 2 pts · 213d
Wow this song is long. Too long i might say. It's some good metal, but it's a lot to take in, and it's constant metal, no rest breaks.
6/10 for me
safesyrup@feddit.org · 2 pts · 213d
I can totally understand. If I listen to the whole album it feels like two songs to me :)
Thank you for having a listen though :)
