Edit: THANK YOU ALL! I am taking all recommendations into consideration and will be giving them a listen sometime. I was a little overwhelmed hence my lack of response, but I greatly appreciate what you’ve written. (-:
Yes, this is a “suggest me songs” post. Only because I don’t know which other community is more appropriate.
I’m looking to revamp my main playlist and clean out songs I don’t revisit all that often. I was hoping you all could suggest some songs OR albums based on my current taste. The other reason I make this post is because I fear I’ll go my entire life without hearing fantastically underrated albums, and I know lemmists to have taste.
That being said, here are some of my favourite artists and albums:
- Lana Del Rey
- Marina and the Diamonds
- The Bravery
- “Disintegration” by The Cure
- Foreign Air
- Saint Motel
- “How to be a Human Being” by Glass Animals
- Garbage
- Madonna, especially the albums prior to the 00s
- Palaye Royale
- Vendredi sur Mer
I am additionally looking for artists similar to Crystal Castles, Com Truise, and Cults. Anything indie / electro / disco / jazz / poprock / pop-punk is welcome. Honestly, y’all don’t even have to take into consideration what I’ve just listed. Just give me the best you’ve got! Cheers. (:

I’d recomment checking listen brainz’ tools, like this one https://listenbrainz.org/explore/music-neighborhood/ which shows relative artists. Or make an account there (beware; it publicly shows your listents with an accuracy of a minute, not just a day). It nice becase you can also find people with similar tastes.
Have fun exploring!

Do you like … St. Vincent The National Neutral Milk Hotel Dinosaur Jr. Spoon Wilco Echo and the Bunnymen Some of that’s pretty old, but so am I.
Your taste is a lot different than mine, but check out “Free” by Florence + the Machine and see if you like it.
We have some similar tastes. I think you’ll like:
Borns
Florence and the Machine
Lorde’s 2021 album Solar Power
Spoon
Billy Raffoul
Hozier
Bishop Briggs
I guess whether or not they’re underrated depends on where you are, because IME Americans usually don’t know who they are but Europeans do, even though they’re an American band; but anyway Scissor Sisters is great if you haven’t checked them out. Their last album (Magic Hour) is their weakest IMO, but it still has some good songs.
I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ is pretty representative of their upbeat songs, and Return to Oz for their slower songs.
They are so good, and I do think underappreciated. I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ is one of the very few songs that I will always listen with the video on.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

You could try “Used to the darkness” by Des Rocs. If you like it I’ll see if I have other songs.

One song that recently has been putting me into a very good mood every time I put it on is “Read my mind” by the Killers.

Oh I have a few playlists you may like to poke through. Feel free to also save these, I don’t mind sharing.
Indie Sadgirl Vibes (moody folk/indie/pop)
Kodak Daydreams (chill shoegaze/dreampop)

I prefer to recommend artists over songs or albums. Based on what you mentioned, I think you’d like Sevdaliza, The Pretty Reckless, Visions of Trees, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Elita, The Polish Ambassador, Collide
Should probably put some MGMT on there.
