Hozier’s Unreal Unearth
Fuiam Catha by Oi Polloi from 1999.
Despite the Gaelic name, only one song is in Gaelic. The rest is in English.
Pro-environmentalism, anti-fascist, Scottish anarcho-punk.
Fuiam Catha means Sound of Battle.
Alice In Chains - Dirt
There are two (in terms of “every song on them is my favourite”):
- Linkin Park - Reanimation
- Placebo - Sleeping With Ghosts
Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R and Like Clockwork… (top 2 for me right now)
Also:
AWOLNATION - Megalithic Symphony
Foster the People - Torches
Them Crooked Vultures - Self titled
Without knowing your music taste I’ll say some with more broad appeal:
Third Eye Blind - self-titled
Deftones - White Pony
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
Radiohead - Kid A
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs
A few off the top of my head:
Destiny Potato - Lun
Dream Theater - Scenes from a Memory
A Perfect Circle - Mer de Noms
Theatre of Tragedy - AegisAgainst Me - Reinventing Axl Rose
Bouncing Souls - Anchors Aweigh
Propagandhi - Supporting Caste
Touché Amore - Stage Four
Bomb The Music Industry - Vacation
The Cure - Paris
Paris is so good.
Pornography is also amazing.
One of my favorite has to be: Delain - April Rain (the album, not just the song)
Morphine - Good
Nujabes - Modal Soul
Leftover Crack - Fuck World Trade
The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute
Big KRIT - 4eva is a Mighty Long Time
No particular order but that’s probably my current top 5
Bruh you got left over crack but no choking victim?
Achtung Baby - U2
Here’s a big eclectic mix of
Transatlanticism by Deathcab for Cutie
Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet
Cubafrica by Manu Dibango
E MO TION: Side B by Carly Rae Jepsen
Home is Where Your Heart Was by Plej
Vampire Weekend by Vampire Weekend
Left and Leaving by The Weakerthans
Flood by They Might Be Giants
Octopath Traveler II OST by Yasunori Nishiki.
I’m not sure if you were looking only for bands or music with lyrics, but this is probably my favorite video game soundtrack of all time.
Samples:
Thanks for the samples! Those are good. That game also looks really interesting. I’ve only heard of octodad.
