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. (:
Crystal Castles
Alice Glass (solo project)
Kap Bambino
CRIM3S
yyycry
CASHFORGOLD
White Ring
Ferngazer
IC3PEAK

Crossparty
Best of all, none of them have Ethan Kath as a member
Electronic suggestion:
it’s hard to see color [When You’re So Impossibly Far Away*] - Jaron
Been my absolute favorite since it released.
Your taste is a lot different than mine, but check out “Free” by Florence + the Machine and see if you like it.
We have some similar tastes. I think you’ll like:
Borns
Florence and the Machine
Lorde’s 2021 album Solar Power
Spoon
Billy Raffoul
Hozier

You could try “Used to the darkness” by Des Rocs. If you like it I’ll see if I have other songs.

I’d recomment checking listen brainz’ tools, like this one https://listenbrainz.org/explore/music-neighborhood/ which shows relative artists. Or make an account there (beware; it publicly shows your listents with an accuracy of a minute, not just a day). It nice becase you can also find people with similar tastes.
Have fun exploring!

I guess whether or not they’re underrated depends on where you are, because IME Americans usually don’t know who they are but Europeans do, even though they’re an American band; but anyway Scissor Sisters is great if you haven’t checked them out. Their last album (Magic Hour) is their weakest IMO, but it still has some good songs.
I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ is pretty representative of their upbeat songs, and Return to Oz for their slower songs.
They are so good, and I do think underappreciated. I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ is one of the very few songs that I will always listen with the video on.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Do you like … St. Vincent The National Neutral Milk Hotel Dinosaur Jr. Spoon Wilco Echo and the Bunnymen Some of that’s pretty old, but so am I.
You’re going to regret asking me this.

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.
Oh I have a few playlists you may like to poke through. Feel free to also save these, I don’t mind sharing.
Indie Sadgirl Vibes (moody folk/indie/pop)
Kodak Daydreams (chill shoegaze/dreampop)
I Hate Goth (~15hr goth/industrial/synthpop megamix)
I prefer to recommend artists over songs or albums. Based on what you mentioned, I think you’d like Sevdaliza, The Pretty Reckless, Visions of Trees, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Elita, The Polish Ambassador, Collide
You would probably enjoy Alexandra Savior, The Last Dinner Party, and Roisin Murphy.
