Edit: THANK YOU ALL! I am taking all recommendations into consideration and will be giving them a listen sometime. I was a little overwhelmed hence my lack of response, but I greatly appreciate what you’ve written. (-:

Yes, this is a “suggest me songs” post. Only because I don’t know which other community is more appropriate.

I’m looking to revamp my main playlist and clean out songs I don’t revisit all that often. I was hoping you all could suggest some songs OR albums based on my current taste. The other reason I make this post is because I fear I’ll go my entire life without hearing fantastically underrated albums, and I know lemmists to have taste.

That being said, here are some of my favourite artists and albums:

Lana Del Rey
Marina and the Diamonds
The Bravery
“Disintegration” by The Cure
Foreign Air
Saint Motel
“How to be a Human Being” by Glass Animals
Garbage
Madonna, especially the albums prior to the 00s
Palaye Royale
Vendredi sur Mer

I am additionally looking for artists similar to Crystal Castles, Com Truise, and Cults. Anything indie / electro / disco / jazz / poprock / pop-punk is welcome. Honestly, y’all don’t even have to take into consideration what I’ve just listed. Just give me the best you’ve got! Cheers. (:

Such good suggestions already. I am going to go in another direction - I like all the stuff you do, here are some artists from different genres not in your list, that I think you would like:

Durand Jones and the Indications

Leon Bridges

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

Fiona Apple, my kids are obsessed with her lately and it kind of opened my eyes to how good she really is.

And in the genres you do already love, Gossip (I am loving the new album) and Perfume Genius.
