This is super broad, but where do I start with Bossa Nova? Say I wanted a fifteen track mix to get a feel of the genre, what's a good starting point?

Yeah so since I first posted I listened to all of Daydream Nation a few times and it's rad and I'm gonna keep listening to Sonic Youth. My first exposure to the band was Bull in the Heather which I thought was awesome, so it's cool hearing a pretty drastically different sound from them. Basically, thanks, thread.

Bad Religion has been around for a long time. Where to start, where to skip?

Junpei posted:I've knocked out two of the Five By Ramen (Panic At The Disco and Fall Out Boy), but I've only ever heard singles from the other three (Gym Class Heroes: Stereo Hearts and Cupid's Chokehold/Breakfast In America, Cobra Starship: You Make Me Feel... and Good Girls Go Bad, and ...well, I forget if I've listened to anything by The Academy Is...). GCH only have three albums I’m aware of, and I think it’d be hard to argue that you’re missing masterpieces if you never listened to them at all. Their first album is an okay high-school-Roots-imitation-from-Upstate-New-York, though I’ve always had a high school soft spot for the song Taxi Driver, which is written to shoehorn as many emo band names into one song as possible. I never got into Cobra Starship other than the song they did for Snakes on a Plane with the singer from The Sounds. I had worn out on Gabe through Midtown, I’d give this albums a listen if they’re less him-circa-2005ish? Can’t help with The Academy Is..., I don’t think I know any of their songs. Fall Out Boy and Panic! were/are the best bands on Fueled by Raman of that era. Looking at their current roster (they still have Paramore?!? How?), check out The Front Bottoms, I guess?

I just heard Mastodon's "Toe to Toes". If I loved it, will I love the rest of Mastodon?

Epi Lepi posted:Where do I go with Paramore after Riot? There’s only three more albums after and the short EP before, and I think the subsequent ones are all worth listening to if you like Riot. If Riot is super your jam and you want more pop-punk polish, head to the next album (Brand New Eyes). The main criticism of that album would probably be that the sonic distance between one song and another is fairly minimal, with one or two acoustic songs thrown in. It’s definitely a fair point, but the songs are very well done for what they are. If you want their “heavier” (for Paramore/the genre, this isn’t an easycore album or anything), head to the self titled. That one has Ain’t It Fun on it, which is just A Great Song, nuts to anyone that says otherwise. They move slightly away from overpolished pop punk here, and had some lineup changes, so you hear them start branching out from the pop punk formula and in general the music starts getting more interesting. Jump to After Laughter if you want a pretty significant sonic change. It’s still poppy, less punky, and sounds to me like what No Doubt would have been writing if they started in 2010 instead of the mid-80s. This has my favorite Paramore song on it, Pool, but is fairly different than their previous work, and I’m pretty sure that showed in its popularity. I haven’t listened to Hayley’s solo album, Petals for Armor, so can’t tell you much about that, but I’m pretty sure it was critically well received. Overall, there’s probably less than 3 hours of total music here, and a lot of it is really well done. If you like Riot, listen to all of it.

Deftones? I feel like someone must have put together an effortpost at some point about them.

ExecuDork posted:I recently realised that Miley Cyrus is a very good singer. I really like her most recent work, but is there a better place to start? I’m very far from a consistent Miley listener, but going back to 2013s Bangerz is probably a good place to start? Miley is one of those artists that grew out of kid pop by leaning real hard in the opposite direction, so really early stuff is very tween-focused. Take a look at the backyard sessions on YouTube too, I’m guessing you can find a lot of live stuff like that she did that’ll be up your alley.

HenryJLittlefinger posted:MF DOOM - He didn't make a ton of albums, but they're all good. Madvillain is kind of a monumental abstract hip hop album. Madlib did all (?) the beats. If you liked Adult Swim in the early to mid 2000s, Danger Doom, which he did with Danger Mouse is great. Other notable non-solo albums are Czarface meets MF DOOM and JJ DOOM. Spotify and Youtube both have a handful of giant playlists of his guest spots. If DOOM flips your switch, dig back into KMD, which was before he became DOOM and was a teenager. Just going to add that Doom had another album under yet another alias (King Geedorah) called Take Me To Your Leader that will be up your alley if you end up liking Doom, OP.
