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.

Picking a favorite artist is hard, but I recently got a CD for the For Squirrels album Example a few days ago. Absolutely in love with it, every single song on it. Especially the CD version of Mighty K.C., which feels like an extended version of what plays during the official music video on yt.

Can't say who's my favorite, but they're definitely up there.
