Another Uquiz by muah.

I assign you and obscure music genre I know nothing about

[apostle-therock-peter]

"welcome to america" by lecrae is the closest a mainstream christian musician can get to anarchist christian/socialist christian/communist christian without people noticing because they're just grooving to lecrae's masterful flows and the epic beats and "this couldn't happen to me" etc etc etc

i found some guy on spotify through one of his weebshit themed playlists and then i ravaged his profile and kept liking his shhit up. and then a few weeks later he made a playlist 'for that one person who keeps liking my playlists'. when i saw it i giggled and kicked me feet i was like hoo wee thats meeeee !! anyway this was one of the songs i took from him. i really like that guy his music taste is cool

@heckofabecca tagged me in a meme to just list five songs on regular play and tag ten of my favorite followers! Thanks, Becca :)

I thought I'd mix things up a bit and go with my Obscurify data, which says my top five songs are:

Who Wants To Live Forever | Queen

Nevertheless, She Persisted | Audiomachine

Pompeii MMXXIII | Hans Zimmer and Bastille

Frostpunk Theme | Piotr Musiał

Mass Effect Theme | Jack Wall, Sam Hulick

I'm not super surprised, because I think "Who Wants To Live Forever" is one of the most beautiful rock songs ever and certainly one of the most beautiful by Queen (my favorite band!) and it's forever linked in my mind to my most beloved canon Tolkien ship, Aegnor/Andreth.

And I often listen to instrumentals or at least "epic" style tracks when I'm stressed or want to write in something other than silence, so I spend a lot of my music-listening time with groups like Audiomachine, video game soundtracks or covers of themes, that kind of thing. The atmosphere of "Nevertheless, She Persisted" in particular is perfect for a specific story project, so I've listened to it most of all! If I excluded background tracks for writing to, though, and just went with songs with lyrics I actively listen to, the final list would be:

Who Wants To Live Forever | Queen

Black Velvet | Alannah Myles

Under Pressure | Queen and David Bowie

This Is Who You Are | Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Love | Lana del Rey

You can't just say words at me obscurify

[itsabee]

also a while back i asked what bands or singers or whatever (can't remember the specifics) the ycyd boys listened to and you said you'd answer in the morning but then you never answered

I was looking at my music and stuff I listen to and realized like. I don’t know enough to find stuff they would like. Brian and Tim like country, I only listen to Orville peck and some random blue grass. I’m sure Brian likes Orville and Tim has a crush on him (big masked man who’s sweet…..) but he’s not super into the music. Tim obviously likes the annoying dad rock, like he loves Pink Floyd, Queen, Radiohead, stone temple pilots, shit like that. I also think he’d like neutral milk hotel and Belle and Sebastian.

Now Toby. I don’t see Toby as a picky music guy. He will listen to anything. Cannibal corpse jusr for fun and because it makes Brian overstimulated and annoyed . Probablt likes hyper pop. Likes shitty bands like Xiu Xiu and listens to stupid bands that have stupid names like “elephant trunk rape fest” because he thinks it’s funny.

I also think Brian would like atmospheric music like the care taker that is so boring and nothing happens for like 10 minutes but it’s part of the ambiance and every song is 20 minutes .

It’s kind of weird like… how much emphasis is put on liking “obscure music” and “obscure genres”. Like idk that doesn’t make you cooler than anyone and I think calling other people basic for liking pop or other popular genres is honestly weird

[if-you-like-pina-colada-s]

Recommend me (through an ask) an obscure song (of any genre that is not popular, pls no pop songs) that you find well written and complex and are obsessed with because the instrumental is *chefs kiss*

[match-your-steps]

had the thought of making a pretentious "ohh, you wouldn't know them" playlist (as a joke) with all my MOST obscure music but then I realized that it would serve very little purpose because my music taste already leans heavily obscure for my surroundings...

[your-pal-dei]

in my experience mfs who say they "listen to anything" will not have heard of any artist with less than 20 million listeners on spotify
