    I hate it when I find a song I really like but it’s a collab between 2 artists and neither of them have anything else that sounds similar

      I’m even more mad when it’s a single song from 1 artist that is just different from their usual. Nothing else they do is similar and you’ll never get more hahah. It makes the song special but still.

      Dora Jar - Did I Get It Wrong, comes to mind.

        Back in the 1900s, I bought the Smash Mouth CD simply because I liked Walking On The Sun.

        That was a mistake.

        There is danger the other way as well. You hear a song, and you like it, but it turns out everything the artist does is so samey that there was no reason at all to listen to any of the rest of the album or discography. 90s me can think of Live’s Throwing Copper and the collected works of Hootie & the Blowfish, and 2010s me remembers Mumford & Sons.

          So true. All 3 of those are great examples too. I can barely pick out a song from any of them, but you won’t need to lol.

      I loved every song featuring Remi Wolf but just could not get into her music…then like a year later it clicked and now I fuckin love Remi Wolf. I think I was too focused on the specific things I liked about her in the features and and missed out on what else she had to offer

        If you haven’t listened to her live at Electric Lady album i highly recommend. The band she has is absolutely killer.

          Please forgive me for listing these but right now we’ve got:

          • Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
          • Electric Landlady by Butthole Surfers
          • Electric Lady by Remi Wolf

          I await more references.

            Well Electric Lady is the name of the studio that live album was recorded at, which is a studio in NYC that Jimi commissioned, so those two at least are related.

          Dude that’s the EXACT set that did it for me lol

          I had listened to her studio stuff and it just wasn’t hitting…but after hearing the live set, I went back and loved it all. I’m kicking myself for not seeing her live
