Nice to see everyone join!~ My top genres are rock and country, but I do enjoy a little of everything thanks to satellite radio! This includes pop, hip-hop, jazz, and indie. My playlist seems to be pretty varied right now, adding songs as I discover them.

My current favorite song is Dirt by Florida Georgia Line, it's a wonderful song that warms up your heart every time it's listened, because it reminds me of what I'm about to leave behind next year: the small town world!



Oh, and guys, you are more than welcome to post youtube videos of music! There's no rule about that! ;P

Favorite Music Genres: Aside from Rap, I like almost every genre we have out there! Though, one that stands out to me in particular is Folk Metal.
Your Current Favorite Song: There are many, but off top of my head, one would likely have to be Whisper by A Fine Frenzy. I've ran into it while watching an episode of House MD couple of months ago, and loved it; looked it up online, downloaded, and have played it more than fifty times in total since then. Singer's voice is very sweet, calming, and the lyrics are quite well-thought, if you ask me! I'm not sure how known these guys might possibly be at the moment, but I'm definitely a fan, and will be one for a long, long time.

Aside from that, I'm also pretty fond of Colony by In Flames; its opening never ceases to impress. Due to similar reasons, I also like Crawl Through Knives by the same band.

About how I find new songs, I hear a lot of music on youtube so I can find artists related to what I listen (this can be really useful), and sometimes I read some articles on specialized websites... I don't really listen radio because in France, radio broadcast only the sames genres.

To start off, how do you guys discover music? What are ways that you find new music to add to your playlists?
Nowadays, I tend to stumble into them randomly. If I find some song by a particular artist on, say, Spotify, and wind up liking, I will begin digging into their albums and take things from there. If it's some site like YouTube, I'd check out related videos option, which usually tends to link towards songs I haven't heard of before, and I believe this to be a great method of music discovery.

From time to time, I also find myself asking friends and acquaintances for suggestions, and thankfully, it doesn't cease to do the trick.

Meganium November 27th, 2014 4:50 PM

Most of the time, I discover my new music in my workplace! xD My store manager has this wonderful playlist of music that I haven't heard of before, yet they were released in the past, or were part of previous albums of popular artists like Britney Spears or Selena Gomez. It gets hard to get the name and the artist because I'm always on the floor and sometimes I have to pester my manager to tell me who sang the song that was playing at the moment haha.

Usually Slacker, Pandora, and Spotify are my main music discoverers, but there's also satellite radio, that plays new music right before it hits radios. :D

Also, I just made the userlist...let me know if I'm missing anyone <3

Hiatus November 27th, 2014 9:32 PM

This reminds me, I also tend to run into new music every once in a while on the radio while driving and whatnot. Though, I rarely wind up turning on the device, as forget that it even exists, unfortunately, so I should probably put more effort into remembering; things could get sort of bothersome if nobody's there with you in the car, and radio could definitely help lighten up the mood, whether it be in a big way or small.

Sonata November 28th, 2014 12:08 PM

There's this artist I like who nobody really knows, he's not real big but he has some really good songs.

Actually yes, but it was only one instance. The song, "Beyond the Sea," sounded a bit like Frank Sinatra, who I LOVE. <3 But, it was actually a fellow named Bobby Darin. Apparently, that's a common confusion. :( I still feel a bit bad about that.

This has happened to me multiple times, and it's killing me that I can't remember specifically what song(s) it was. Closest thing I can think of is a song resembling an artist. I already knew Cool Kids was Echosmith, but I could've sworn Taylor Swift sang that song. Oddly enough none of their other stuff sounds like T. Swift.

Hiatus November 30th, 2014 11:47 PM

Like above, this has happened to me plenty of times, too. Off top of my head, one music would have to be International Love by Pitbull. It happened to be on the radio in my car when I'd first heard this song, and when it was on Chris Brown's part, I immediately thought it was Lady Gaga (because, well, this does seem to be her style, haha), and was quite surprised to hear Pit mention Brown's name somewhere down the song. I don't believe I've heard any of Chris' music before, so it was completely new to me, but he did seem to put together his lines pretty nicely; all-together, I definitely liked the song.

A lot of times when I'm listening to rap if there isn't something distinguishing about them or if I don't know the song beforehand I think it's all the same person. Like a couple of times I've mistaken Snowgoons for a handful of other artists.

There are quite a few instances in recent years that I can say I was guilty of this. Titanium by Sia featuring David Guetta was one that I (and I bet quite a few others) surely thought was done by Rihanna, and Demons by Imagine Dragons was one that sounded like Coldplay my first few times hearing it.

Hope this is sufficient!

He died on a helicopter accident on 27th of august, In 1990.

Wait... Stevie, underrated? What is this blasphemy?!?!!?!

Anyone who knows ANYTHING about rock music knows he is top two guitarists/musicians to ever grace this Earth. The only person I would say is better than him would be Jimi Hendrix.

But to address the topic of bands that are underrated, I would have to say that Alesana is pretty underrated, for the quality of their music. They're in my list of top 5 favorite bands of all time and they don't really play huge shows. The show I saw them at recently, I'd say there were max of 150 people there. They really don't get the recognition they deserve imo.

Meganium December 9th, 2014 9:57 AM

When it comes to underrated artists, I consider unsigned artists (musicians that haven't signed in any record labels or anywhere), underrated...because I do feel that they have so much potential to make it in the musical world but it's hard for them to get themselves "heard" or get on mainstream. Pentatonix used to be on my list of underrated artists, but they're finally making themselves heard due to their outrageously successful Christmas album that was released this year. Here's one I really really love: ZACPOOR. I discovered him through a Facebook game I played a crapload of years ago, and he's still one of my favorites. He's written good music for various artists, but for himself he never really made it big.

Hiatus December 9th, 2014 8:23 PM

I consider artists to be underrated when they aren't... necessarily out there, if you know what I mean. Some gain popularity and rise to stardom in a blink of an eye, while others stay where they are without any movement on the latter; it's kind of unfortunate. Off top of my head, one artist that comes to mind is A Fine Frenzy. I've discovered them while watching an episode of House MD (they've used their song throughout the ending), and I wound up loving it. Music's called Whisper, I believe, and the girl who sings seemed to have had a lovely voice. I began searching for more of their songs afterward, and have instantly become a fan.

Pendraflare December 10th, 2014 5:52 PM

I'm not very good at thinking of musical acts that I consider "underrated", but if there was some act that people saw as not too great but I could find stuff to like about, I might be able to talk about them as such. And yes, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix are anything but underrated, they're well known but were cut short.

In other news, the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 came out yesterday...i'll have to do some take on that later, haha.

Mainstream fans only like Imagine Dragons because Radioactive or It's Time appeared on the charts, and that's it. The rest of their music is underrated. People need to dive a little deeper to discover them.

A lot of people and this is me too sometimes find 1 or 2 songs they like from an artist lsiten to them and then theyre done they dont go any farther i found them with radioactive but the other 2 i like as well and theres a couple others im blanking on i think people just need to look into their songs more it doesnt always have to be popular to be a good song :)

Pendraflare December 13th, 2014 6:56 PM

Ah yes, Radioactive was one of THE biggest songs of 2013 (#3 on the Year-End chart that year). Most of their singles from Night Visions were quite good, and while some of them kinda run off of overused concepts, they work because Dan Reynolds (lead singer) has a lot of passion and personality in his voice. From what I read, Radioactive held a record of having the longest stand in the Hot 100 (also making #57 on 2014's Year-End chart, too).

I think AM/FM radio - provided you're in range of a decent station - is good to listen to given the fact that you don't have to pay for it. But satellite radio is so much better and there's so much good music that you don't find on local stations.

I don't have much of a chance to listen to radio nowadays, except when i'm going to work or going out with my parents, but I know some of my folks have Pandora and look for radio stations. There are some that certain people might like, although I haven't looked for an online station or something I could tune to if I wanted.

To return to the old topic, I agree that you don't have to pay for AM/FM radio, but then you have the ads...something satellite radio doesn't have. The radio stations here in my area are just awful, you have 2 songs playing and BOOM 15 minutes of commercials/ads. They don't even play that much music anymore. Just ads. It's what tuned me off from the radio altogether. It also depends on the area in which you people live in. We don't have a lot of decent stations here. Big cities tend to have a much wider variety.

Since a lot of you have responded that you listen to music from your phone, I'll admit that I do the same as well. haha.

Meganium January 5th, 2015 1:17 PM

Although it's something I hardly use, but my mom does...she uses both iHeartRadio and TuneInRadio, to connect to radio stations from all over the world without dealing with any bsssszzzzzzzszsszszsxzsdfghjk kind of thing you hear when you get interference, albeit it can get laggy. But I was able to discover some country stations from outside my area. They are almost nothing here.

Anyways, I was able to think of another topic for here! When I was at best buy the other day (bought a Chromecast. oops) and I noticed that the music section of the store has been minimized to only one section. When a year ago or so there were just...more than that. It goes to show that the digital music industry like iTunes and Amazon are doing much success than physical CDs.

What does everyone think of this decline of music CD's and the majority of the music being available digitally? Do you still prefer CDs, digital music, or both? Why?

IggyKoopa January 5th, 2015 6:10 PM

I like CD's. I like to have the music in some kind of physical form and I like to be able to play it on any device rather than just my computer and my iPod. I like actually being able to handle a disc rather that just tapping things on a screen to get it to play, and I like the general feeling that the disc I'm holding in my hand is the thing that I bought that has the music on it.

Pendraflare January 5th, 2015 6:39 PM

What does everyone think of this decline of music CD's and the majority of the music being available digitally? Do you still prefer CDs, digital music, or both? Why?
Nowadays I prefer digital downloads on iTunes, but if there's an album that I see in the stores and it strikes my interest right away, it's one i'll pick up. I did ask for - and get - Taylor Swift's 1989 album for Christmas a week and a half ago, and last Christmas (2013) I got Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP 2. The former was one I didn't really feel like spending my own money on but it did interest me, and the latter was one I hadn't thought about spending my money on but I did receive it.

Hiatus January 6th, 2015 9:22 PM

What does everyone think of this decline of music CD's and the majority of the music being available digitally? Do you still prefer CDs, digital music, or both? Why?
I believe one reason behind their decline is portability, so to speak.

When carrying music CDs, we're kind of limited to how much we could take and whatnot. For example, if we have a CD player, we would be required to use discs, but when going outside with them, we likely wouldn't have enough space to store CDs in our handbag, backpack, or anything else we might be having with us if there are other items in there. Not sure if I'm making much sense here, but I hope I am!

Digitally, however, we don't have to face issues like this. All we would have to worry about is how much memory we have in our device, but aside from that, it truly makes things a lot convenient. If we have some sort of radio software downloaded, such as either Spotify or Last.fm, then that's even better, as we wouldn't have to be dealing with memory space or anything of the like (we might need to be subscribed to some data plan for this while on phone, but this is not an issue if there's wi-fi available).

Meganium January 10th, 2015 11:37 AM

Oh yeah, that makes sense. CD players are becoming pretty obsolete (and they are slowly getting to the point that they're...considered ancient now), because now we have to rely on iPods, MP3's and any digital device. But then like, I also wanna keep my CD just in case I lose my digital stuff and I can just rip the CD in my computer to conserve my music.

As much as I do prefer my iTunes music, it's also nice to keep an album of music.

Pendraflare January 10th, 2015 6:03 PM

That is kind of true, I can get where you're coming from with that. We have a big collection of older CDs in the basement at my parents' house, and some in the TV room where I reside when i'm staying there. But still, usually it's more convenient to order things on iTunes whenever. (Not helped by the fact that CDs have those stupid sticker seals that you have to take off of them...)

Sonata January 10th, 2015 8:13 PM

I am definitely on digital's side. I do like to be able to physically see and touch my music collection, but then I really don't care, because if I was going to do that then I'd have to actually go out and buy all of my music. I don't know about you but I haven't won the lottery lately.

GiraKoth February 3rd, 2015 7:16 AM

Do you ever forgot about how good an album was?

Never had that sort of feeling, but I guess it can help you to rediscover an album?

Pendraflare February 3rd, 2015 7:37 AM

Oh hey, only now remembered this.

Do you ever forget about how good an album was?

Some records i'll give one full listen and mention if I like them or not, but i'm sure they'll have a handful of songs I probably won't remember after one listen. But since I haven't heard as much underground music recently, it's difficult for me to say.

Sonata February 3rd, 2015 6:38 PM

Do you ever forgot about how good an album was?

Eh, not really. If I like a full album I already have it downloaded and I listen to it often enough that I won't forget it.

Meganium February 4th, 2015 12:17 AM

There are some albums I would love to revisit, like Foster the People's first album. All of their songs in that album were super amazing and I would listen to that album non stop. Same goes for Pentatonix's latest Vol 3 album, as well as Luke Bryan's Crash My Party.

If I end up liking an artists whole album so much, there is doubt that I'll forget them. :P

Now that I'm here, there's something I wanted to ask...would anyone be interested in a DJing event? We can all meet in a plug.dj room and we can all listen (and discover) our own music. It'd be a...one night event for the club. Anyone interested? :D

Pendraflare February 4th, 2015 5:28 AM

Ah, i'm not good with remembering event dates, but that sounds like something worth experimenting with. (Although I probably wouldn't have anything new to offer since I basically listen to pop and other things in the Top 40... I really need to start listening to underground more often.)

Meganium February 4th, 2015 9:55 AM

We don't necessarily have to listen to the current music hits, unless members requested them! You are more than welcome to share your music to others, remember, in this club we do not judge based on music tastes. <3

I can't do this weekend, but I can do Sunday February 15th? Would that be okay? Gives me time to actually plan ahead.

Hiatus February 5th, 2015 4:30 AM

There are definitely a few old albums out there of some bands that I prefer over newer (I'm not sure how much sense that makes, but I hope we understand what I'm trying to get through!).

Off top of my head, one of these bands would be this metal band known as In Flames. When I was first introduced, I listened to some of their new music, which I did like. Due to growing fondness of them, I had began following the band more, and tried their older tracks; in comparison, they seemed to have been slightly more hyping, so to speak, and meaningful.

As for DJ event, I'd love to take part in one, but unfortunately, I'm not sure if I could make it if we have the event around February 15, as I'll be busy then. If it were sometime in early March, it like wouldn't have been a problem, haha. I hope rest of us have fun!

To the plug.dj event: yes. It should be a recurring thing, not just a one off if you ask me.

Meganium February 5th, 2015 10:40 PM

Of course, if anyone can't make it to the event on the 15th, we can always hold it off till March. By then I'll be settled in Houston. :D That's totally up to the rest of you guys, because I would looove to hold an event sometime~

& welcome, Wicked <3 Love your choices of Genre, especially 90's-00's pop. Been listening to a lot of the music recently on Pandora, and ahhh it takes me back to my high school days!

starseed galaxy auticorn February 21st, 2015 4:07 AM

Eh... I'm not very good with events either. Not to mention the fact that I'm only into metal now. I'm extremely picky about what I listen to. I just can't listen to anything else anymore other than what's on my nano. However, you guys feel free to do the event without me. :D

Do you ever forgot about how good an album was?

Well, I did forgot how amazing the GazettE's Toxic album was. It's been about four or five years since I've been into j-rock. Long story short: I ran into some fakes who tried to ruin my life. I'm only now getting it back thanks to my hero PelleK who is an absolutely amazing person as well as an even more amazing singer. <3

I forgot how good it is sometimes to put on the Away from the Sun album by 3 Doors Down and listen all the way through, but when I do, it's fantastic.

Have we talked about concerts? Let's talk about concerts. In a couple weeks I'm gonna go see Pentatonix in Houston, and I'm also thinking of seeing either Florida Georgia Line or Dierks Bentley at the Houston Rodeo. Has anyone ever been to a concert? If so, how many and who did you see?

Wicked3DS February 27th, 2015 8:01 PM

Last concert I went to was Thousand Foot Krutch almost exactly 2 years ago (Feb 2013) and they were amazing. They're one of my all time favorite bands and they were just as good live as they sound in the studio.

I've seen Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Bob Dylan.

Coldplay puts on a very very good show, all of the lights were amazing (and this was when they used xylobands, if anyone's familiar) and they really just sounded great. Red Hot Chili Peppers were fantastic, as well. It wasn't so theatrical, they were actually performing for part of the Dalai Lama's event here (he gave a long talk; wonderful afternoon all around), so it was a pretty different vibe. And then Bob Dylan was awesome to see because he's Bob Dylan, but it was unfortunately pretty clear that he's no longer in his prime. And the sound was just kind of off, the instruments really drowned out his voice. Disappointing, but I'm still glad I got the chance to go.

Hiatus February 28th, 2015 4:55 AM

Has anyone ever been to a concert? If so, how many and who did you see?
I've been to a couple of concerts before, yeah.

The most recent would be around two years back in 2013, when I'd went to one with a couple of my buddies; it had featured some metal band that I wasn't quite familiar with, but still decided to visit as I'm generally a fan of this genre. Songs they had performed were pretty good, actually.

In future, I'd like to visit a concert of either In Flames or Motorhead, as they're two of my all-time favorite bands. I'm not sure how easy it is to run into them over here in New York, but hey, at least one could still hope!

That would be fun. If we're doing this on a Monday or Saturday night, I personally would be able to attend (I don't have work the next morning, so hooray for that). Also, welcome to our music club, Tryndamere! We are definitely happy to have you. Oh, wow, a $200 headphone; that sounds expensive. I only have an ear-bud at the moment, which had cost me around $20; this is nothing in comparison, haha.

Spoiler:


My last.fm profile is in my profile, and that's the best way to get a definitive view of my music taste I guess. Or at least what I'm listening to. I listen to different kinds of music in phases. Right now I've been listening to one of my friends' Spotify playlist of music he's starred from the radio. It's a very unique playlist as far as taste.

Almost none of my friends have even heard of Lifehouse, idk if they're relatively unknown in the UK or if it's just my area lol

That being said, I'm liking Out of the Wasteland. Hurricane's a tune, as is Runaways. I'm not a fan of Stardust, though.

Wake up people! -cranks up the stereo-

Not sure if anyone has ever heard of the band Royal Blood, but Google Play had their album for only 99 cents, so I snatched that up. They play them on satellite radio a lot, so I know 3 of their songs (Out of the Black, Figure it Out, Little Monster) and they're all pretty good, so there was no way I wasn't going for that deal.
