I created a post a while ago about inspirational artists. Almost right away I realized it was a terrible idea, because everybody on here listens to a ton of stuff every day, and there's no way I'm going to listen to every artist that everybody posts about. So, how about this. Can you post one song by one artist that you think is worth everybody hearing?

I'd suggest listening to Fortune Days by the Glitch Mob. It's just a genius song, and that's all I can say about it. It has to be one of my favorite electronic songs as of right now.

Bop by Brandt Brauer Frick, either version. I prefer the version from their first album You Make Me Real, but the version for Mr. Machine is also good.

This feel-good tune by the Go! Team (the band that did Little Big Planet's theme Get It Together) is one of my all-time favorites. The Wrath of Marcie has a few simple chord progressions, noisy drums, and some catchy hooks (plus completely unintelligible lyrics) that reach out to me in weird, pop-influenced ways.

This is really, really tough. I think I'll go with "Book of Saturday" by King Crimson. If I recall, it opened my ears.

21st Century Schitzoid Man is the only King Crimson song you need to hear.

Also, this is mine:


Jonsi & Alex - Indian Summer

I hope nobody minds if I post again. Just, go check out Guitar Sound by Ronald Jenkees. Here's an awesome video of him playing the song live:

I think everyone should listen to "Moscu esta helado" by Esplendor Geometrico. The bassline in the song is fucking sick. It might be in spansih, but this song is killer, and done with very little gear, which is awesome/impressive.

I discovered the Canadian duo Lime a few years back and they've been a big influence to me.

I love the track "I Don't Wanna Loose You" from Lime's 1984 album Sensual Sensation.
The audio quality is pretty poor on YT but you can get the idea.
