Edit: THANK YOU ALL! I am taking all recommendations into consideration and will be giving them a listen sometime. I was a little overwhelmed hence my lack of response, but I greatly appreciate what you’ve written. (-:
Yes, this is a “suggest me songs” post. Only because I don’t know which other community is more appropriate.
I’m looking to revamp my main playlist and clean out songs I don’t revisit all that often. I was hoping you all could suggest some songs OR albums based on my current taste. The other reason I make this post is because I fear I’ll go my entire life without hearing fantastically underrated albums, and I know lemmists to have taste.
That being said, here are some of my favourite artists and albums:
- Lana Del Rey
- Marina and the Diamonds
- The Bravery
- “Disintegration” by The Cure
- Foreign Air
- Saint Motel
- “How to be a Human Being” by Glass Animals
- Garbage
- Madonna, especially the albums prior to the 00s
- Palaye Royale
- Vendredi sur Mer
I am additionally looking for artists similar to Crystal Castles, Com Truise, and Cults. Anything indie / electro / disco / jazz / poprock / pop-punk is welcome. Honestly, y’all don’t even have to take into consideration what I’ve just listed. Just give me the best you’ve got! Cheers. (:
Your taste is a lot different than mine, but check out “Free” by Florence + the Machine and see if you like it.

Rubblebucket, indie dance music from Vermont. Definitely go see them live next time they tour.
I guess whether or not they’re underrated depends on where you are, because IME Americans usually don’t know who they are but Europeans do, even though they’re an American band; but anyway Scissor Sisters is great if you haven’t checked them out. Their last album (Magic Hour) is their weakest IMO, but it still has some good songs.
I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ is pretty representative of their upbeat songs, and Return to Oz for their slower songs.
They are so good, and I do think underappreciated. I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ is one of the very few songs that I will always listen with the video on.

Electronic suggestion:
it’s hard to see color [When You’re So Impossibly Far Away*] - Jaron
Been my absolute favorite since it released.
You could try “Used to the darkness” by Des Rocs. If you like it I’ll see if I have other songs.

Sorry for the late reply! Yes, they absolutely do!
We have some similar tastes. I think you’ll like:

Florence and the Machine
Lorde’s 2021 album Solar Power
Spoon
Billy Raffoul

One song that recently has been putting me into a very good mood every time I put it on is “Read my mind” by the Killers.
You would probably enjoy Alexandra Savior, The Last Dinner Party, and Roisin Murphy.
