For example, I first heard Suburban Legends - Polyester, so I went to check Suburban Legends and they were just a regular ska band.

What’s your “that song was great, I wish the band did more of that” song and band?

    I’ve never once heard a song and said “I need to listen to all the songs by this artist”

    but I think I would be concidered an EDM normie, so I just listen to what is concidered popular in the feeds.

    Being said, I have heard some songs that were dual offs at times, like there’s a bunch of dubstep composers who I think fall under that where they had a real good ones and the rest are meh

      When I first started getting into EDM, I’d hear a tune and be like, damn, I need more tunes by this artist, but found they would never click really. But then I would go to a show and hear tunes, or listen to mixes, and it would all really come alive then. I was big in that scene from probably 2009 to 2015, and I’ve reverted to more general love for music, though I haven’t stopped listening.

      Recently, I found a list of the 25 best EDM albums of 2025, obviously just one site’s collective opinions, but I ran through it, it was more than just dubstep (which was always what I leaned toward), and I ended up really digging so much of it, just from going through album by album.

      And that being said, there were some acts who would put out legit albums. Early Ganja White Night, with Addiction especially, and Hybrid Distillery, were such great albums, really told a story when you listened cover to cover. But they’re definitely not the norm. Zeds Dead’s most recent album was also top notch.
