Music Suggestions
Hi everyone, here's another thread you all can ignore.
As most of you know, I grew up rather... sheltered, and I'm finding that has harmed my knowledge of good music. I have no idea how to find music since I'm not aware of the names of artists, singers or songs. SO. I'd love your suggestions of singers, artists, particular song favorites, and every genre is welcome. Yes, even rock.
What do you all listen to anyway? o_0 #thisshouldbeinteresting

I'm rather fond of Nightwish, but being as that's symphonic metal, it might be a bit...much.
OneRepublic is good; a lot of their stuff is pretty chill, and the lyrics are almost always clean. Some of Taylor Swift's songs are nice, too, in that "rom-com cutesie-fluff" sort of way. I like Daughtry; they're hard rock, and a lot of their songs are really catchy and the lyrics are great. If you're looking for instrumental music, Two Steps From Hell and Audiomachine have some epic orchestral scores, and John Williams has composed some great movie soundtracks.

it's not about 'deserve'. it's about what you believe. and i believe in love
I like OneRepublic also! its a very good choice. Another good one is Image Dragon. I love them! One of my other favorites is Coldplay. You have probably already heard of them. I like LOTS of songs. I mean I never really like ALL of someone's songs. I have quite the verity. I mean i like Taylor Swifts songs, Moroon5 and Justin Timberlake. Yup lots of different ones!
Ooh! What a pleasing topic, dear Countess.
I also like Imagine Dragons and One Republic. Both of which create modern light rock, and generally, I find write clean music. On occasions when I want something more exciting, I might listen to Lorde, Birde, or Laurel. Three individual indie artists. The style of music is quite different than what is currently popular...yet it is nice sounding.
Twenty One Pilots might be my favourite band. Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun are followers of Jesus, and many of their songs allude to Christ himself though they've never specifically labelled their music as Christian. I believe, the reason being, they desire to reach a larger, more diverse audience of broken people. Their music is a combination of rap and punk, sometimes indie. Since I've begun talking about rap, I also suggest Beautiful Eulogy, Oregon based worship group who produces Christian rap, praise and worship, and hip hop. Their music is lovely, and their messages poetic.
For instrumental, I suggest Sleeping At Last.

THIS IS MY THREAD. I am so ready. I don't know if any of you are ready for this long post, though.
I'm sure you're overwhelmed with twenty one pilots suggestions, so I won't bother going to into it, but they really are quite good. And very clean!
I loooove all sorts of music! I'm a huge indie/alternative fan, though I'll listen to anything. I'll be honest though: I don't really care about the content of my music language wise, so some of these artists may have some explicit songs. Oh, and if you're looking for ways to find music, I would 100000000000000% recommend Spotify. I've found so many good artists through their Discover section. Also, follow me. Ayraykay <3 I've marked what bands I believe are pretty clean, just in case.
Since I'm pretty sure I'm one of the only indie people on the SS, I will overload you with alternative music to make up for no one else doing it! xD
Artist Suggestions! These are bands that I've been loving/have loved where most every song I think is good. I tried to describe the genre too xD
-Bad Suns (AHHH i love them. Upbeat alternative/rock music, very little cursing, wonderful humans.)
-The neighbourhood (kind of a rainy sad day type of music, depending on the song it can be clean or explicit. But oh my gosh they're so good, I've seen them in concert four times. I'm obsessed.)
-Bastille! (Alternative I guess? You might have heard their song Good Grief or Pompeii on the radio, but all of their albums are wonderful and clean.)
-Imagine Dragons (Same as Bastille, but you've probably heard Radioactive. Clean.)
-The Civil Wars (they have since disbanded, but their music was so good! I don't even know how to describe them, I would just listen, haha. Clean, I believe.)
-Day Wave. <3 Some of my favorite summertime music. Clean.
-Glass Animals (If you like music with a LOT of production, they're the band for you. Listen to their new song Youth and you'll know what I mean. Cleanish, I believe.)
-Jack Johnson (I grew up on his album In Between Dreams. It's soft guitar music, few instruments, and him singing. It's very calming and that album is absolutely wonderful, in my humble opinion. Clean.)
-The Kooks (garage band alternative rock. Their album Inside In Inside Out is by far their best, I grew up on that too. Clean, or at least that album is)
-Paramore (Rock. The band members are Christian as well, so their songs are clean)
-SNCKPCK (The cutest ukelele music you'll ever hear. The singer is adorable and his songs aren't the best musically, but they're cute and make me happy. Clean)
-Two Door Cinema Club (Electronicy Alternative and catchy as heck. Tourist History is one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time. Clean)
-White Lights (a unknown artist I found on Soundcloud, but his music is on Spotify. It's just...interesting. I don't know what genre it would be though. Not clean, but it does depend on the song. My favorite is Sleepyhead, which is clean.)
Okay and just because I love music: some songs off of my December playlists I'm enjoying.
Degrees of Light - Taylor Mcferring (oh my gosh I looooooove this. No words, just...ugh I don't know how to describe some of the music I listen to xD It's not electronic and it's not alternative so I guess just indie. Clean, obvs.)
Guillotine - Jon Bellion (he's opening for 21 p and I love this song! Clean.)
Guru -Coast Modern (catchy as heck. Clean.)
Sleep Apnea - Beach Fossils (clean, I think)
just cuz you cant - pronoun (Explicit but it's just one word)
Redbone -Childish Gambino (I looove Childish Gambino but he's mostly done explicit rap in the past. This is much different and internesting and it's something I didn't think I would like, but it is a certified Audrey K jam. Explicit.)
Fire Escape - The Gloomies (Alternative and Clean and Catchy. My favs.)
I would recommend making a Spotify account (the basic version is free!) and looking up everyone's suggestions! Spotify shows the most popular songs of an artist so that would be a good place to start to see if you like it. You can explore by genre, mood, etc, and I guarentee you'll find something you like. I couldn't recommend it any more.
Anyways, sorry for the long post but hey, new music!

An owl and a squirrel are sitting in a tree, watching a farmer go by. The owl turns to the squirrel and says nothing, because owls can't talk. The owl then eats the squirrel because it is a bird of prey.

Linkin Park and Starset. Breaking Benjamin. Hollywood Undead (Lion and Outside, mostly.) t.A.T.u. Christina Perri. Jupiter. Kansas. Three Doors Down. If you dare.
*Points at Helios*
I like most of those. If you feel like you want to listen to something hard that isn't mindless, I'd say Disturbed. Most of their songs are clean. Not all. Sound of Silence is an amazing song, and its totally clean. I'd like to point you to Starset to. Sabaton is a cool band also. They do sing mainly about war so yeah I don't think that would fit with you. Within Temptation is another one of my favorite bands, and they are totally clean. And so it goes on.

I'm the other indie person on the band along with Audrey, so I'll be suggesting similarish stuff, also will probably have some explicit stuff (with warnings).
From Indian Lakes - Everything Feels Better Now and Absent Sounds are two really solid electronic indie rock albums, highly recommended, clean.
COIN - All of their music is really fun indie pop rock, another one of my faves.
Jon Bellion - electronic rap music, I believe he is a Christian, but he does have some explicit songs.
Chance the Rapper - another rapper who's a Christian but has some explicit stuff, but his music is super great.
Spark Alaska - They only have one album, but it's really good acoustic indie stuff, clean except for a few minor swears.
Jack and Eliza - They just put out their first album, really cool indie rock with some definite 60's and Beach Boys influences, pretty sure it's clean too.
Rusty Clanton - More indie acoustic stuff.
I tried to avoid just restating what Audrey said, but I also recommend a lot of her stuff, especially Childish Gambino's new stuff.

I don't listen to much music, but I'll give some of the suggestions here a try. I can confirm that Two Steps from Hell is fantastic, though.

Ooh, I'm totally going to go listen to your suggestions, Wakko! I actually haven't really heard any of Chance's stuff, I didn't know he was Christian tbh. But thanks for suggesting music for me too, even by accident haha!
Edit: I totally recommend COIN though (I missed them opening for Bad Suns because they were at an 18 and up club TWO DAYS BEFORE I TURNED EIGHTEEN (i'm sorry i'm still bitter but ugh and bad suns were playing their new album too and i've only seen them twice with their old album okay i'll stop) )
Also, I haven't heard a bad thing about From Indian Lakes, personally I've never listened but a lot of friends of mine are huge fans and say they're great!

I actually was supposed to see Bad Suns + From Indian Lakes too, but it didn't work out for me either. :/ Then I was gonna see COIN instead and that didn't work either. :////
