Hardcore band cleans up their sound a bit and makes a more accessible album and I absolutely love it, tale as old as time (see also: the last two Turnstile albums). Huge shoegazey guitars, beautiful almost poppy chorus, then even bigger guitars and a whole bunch of screaming.
8.NV - Scowl - Tonight (I'm Afraid)

I think may be the band someone alluded to in a recent post that they were surprised hadn’t been picked yet.
On my list for later.

Spotify wrapup:
My listening age is 21 years older than my actual age.
So now you know why I don't participate much in new music threads.
Most listened-to song: Tenderness by General Public, thanks to @Yo Mama
Followed by Arthur Lee's Every Time I Look Up I'm Down or White Dog (I Don't Know What That Means!), Love's Andmoreagain, The Doobie Brothers' South City Midnight Lady (thanks Binky) and Naked Eyes' Promises, Promises.
Most listened-to album: Forever Changes by Love, which makes sense as they were my MAD 5 artist and I was its highest ranker in the albums countdown.
Followed by Bob Mould's Here We Go Crazy, The Doobies' The Captain and Me, Love's Out Here and Arthur Lee's Vindicator.
Top 5 artists:
Love (667 minutes, top 0.07% globally)
Bob Mould
The Doobie Brothers
Journey
Otis Redding
Aside from Mould, that's entirely MAD-influenced.

Round 8
The Palava - Lie To Me
The Palava is a York, England, five-piece Indie Rock band.
This banger came out in January and sank without a trace. I didn't discover it until July and forgot how good it was until I was looking over my Spotify Liked Songs list in preparing for this draft.

8.ee Benjamin Booker - "SAME KIND OF LONELY"

Here's my Spotify wrap up (at least some of it)
Top artists:
1. Viagra Boys
2. The Clash (thanks MAD!)
3. bby
4. Beastie Boys
5. Destroyer
Top Songs:
1. Man Made of Meat
2. Magnetic
3. Filthy Rich Nepo Baby
4. Can't Say No
5. Same Old Song
Four of these songs were released in January and were immediately on my 2025 annual playlist, which I play a lot.
Tastes like mine can't be defined, per Spotify. But they did it anyway.
1. Indie Rock
2. New Wave
3. Classic Rock
4. Hip Hop
5. Electronic
Seems pretty easy to define, as that's predominantly what I listen to.
I guess I'm not really mad that they put my listening age at one year older than I actually am. I'm just disappointed, and that's much worse.

Far be it from me to mansplain to Spotify about genres but I disagree with their definition of Bebop. Bebop was a very short lived movement and unfortunately didn't even make it to the advent of LP records. It was certainly dead long before Charlie Parker passed away in 1955. I listen to a lot of Jazz but not much of it comes from that era.

And whatever the hell this genre is.

WITCH reference above by landry got me going here. From a new album from one of my favorite 70s Zamrock bands — another song from them was a favorite by some in my MAD Afrobeat list.

I like the whole album. I liked their last one too. The critics like them. They have been on a number of the year-end lists. They haven't caught on with the masses though.

If Big Thief wasn’t the band referred to as being surprisingly still undrafted than perhaps it was this.

Album is better than any one song for me, but I’ll go for the lead single. Classical pop backed by the London Symphony Orchestra. Two single named ladies for Eephus for the price of one with Bjork making an appearance.
