Not necessarily your favorite, but something you recently discovered or rediscovered.
Still Alive - Portal Soundtrack
A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman soundtrack.
I sent my kids nuts playing that soundtrack on rotation. lol.
Billy Idol - Rita Hayworth
and
Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time
I had she-bop in my head the other day.
I’ll start.
Recently discovered: Nightwish, Last ride of the day
Recently rediscovered as it just came up on my playlist: Mick Jagger, Sweet Thing
edit: Someone just introduced me to Vancanto covering Fear of the Dark. I didn’t think a cappella metal was possible.
Bells, bows, gifts, trees - Todrick Hall

I really liked The Wizard of Ahhs melody he did with Pentatonix.
I cant deal with him after seeing what a shitty person he was when he was on big brother. 🤮
Been playing some Cyberpunk 2077 and also finished the anime. I Really Want to Stay at Your House has been on repeat lately. Such a great synthpop tune.
insanely good song. who’s ready for tomorrow is a vibe too.
Epona - Eluveitie
and
ANSI.SYS - MASTER BOOT RECORD (also known as keygen church)

Played Fortnite Festival and discovered “The Search” by NF. What a banger!
I also love this song by him
I went thru many of his songs after discovering “The Search”. “When I grow up” is great … the subtle comedy in the kitchen scene is brilliant. He’s quite the lyrical genius!
I went to a performance by De Staat a few days ago, so I’ve been in the mood for their music
- De Staat - Witch Doctor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3V_QMItNOg
- De Staat - Kitty Kitty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWM9DC-31Xo
- De Staat - Get It Together (Vinticious Versions): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fukhh9PJQMc
Been on a big King Crimson kick lately and I just fucking loooove Three of a Perfect Pair. Holy stink it’s so good. https://youtu.be/QdMHy074kNc
That whole album is sooo good but this song is a definite favorite.
Northwest Passage - unleash the archers
-
A Long December (Counting Crows)
-
Soul Asylum’s cover of Rhinestone Cowboy.
The former is ever relevant, the latter is somehow both a total reimagining of the song and true to the original.
Yeah, I date myself with both of those. Yeah, I was probs in HS for both of them.
That, and Good Riddance / Time of your Life (Greenday). I understand it was supposed to be a sarcastic dig at a woman. But that’s not how audiences largely heard it, and it became the legit, totally unironic anthem of a certain generation that I am abs not a part of.
Also… There’s a completely random punk band no one but me has ever heard of (Ruth Ruth), and their album Laughing Gallery has been by my side at some of my lowest points over the years. Wish I could let 'em know the impact they had in making sure I pushed through some of the worst periods.

Mötorhead - Mötorhead
Found this in a Melodic Death Metal compilation video last week and can’t stop listening to it.
I have to question putting Orbit Culture on a melodeath compilation. While it worked out for you, unless the one who made the compilation is trying to give curveballs to the listener, it’s a weird addition.
Disco Ulysses - Vulfpeck
