Some pretty amazing songs ( to my liking) have popped up in the below threads, I was missing an important genre in my likes:

 

Alternative! Well, more like, Indie, folk, progressive, southern and anything not "mainstream" rock per se.

 

https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1042547-fast-paced-classical-music-recommendations/

https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1003904-post-hardcore-recomendations/

https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/885310-vocal-trance-recommendations/

 

So I'll have my go:

 

Of monsters and men - Little talks

 

 

Paul Banks - The Base.

 

 

Edit: cr4p work filter blocks youtube

 

 

 

Yeah, I know there are musical services out there like last fm, but this a more "personalized" neowin version :D

Any specific song?

Hmm let's see.

 

For Motion City, check out: 

1.  L.G. FUAD

2. This Is For Real

3. The Future Freaks Me Out

 

For Jack's Mannequin, check out:

1. The entire Everything In Transit album.  It's pretty awesome from beginning to end.  The Mixed Tape, La La Lie, and Dark Blue are my favs from that one.

2. Swim

3. Spinning

4. His previous band was Something Corporate and their song "If You C Jordan" is really good.

 

As something else sort of unique, check out "Pierce The Veil".  I'd say they're pretty post-hardcore.  I never really liked bands with the high voices like that, but the song "King For A Day" is one of the most catchy songs I've heard in a while.  Them and Brand New played at a music festival I went to this past weekend, and both played phenomenal sets.

Also Deaf Havana, their old stuff is more post-hardcore but lately they've been turning a lot more to alt-rock!

If you like Metal, give Sylosis a listen to.

 

I prefer their first album Conclusion of an Age.

 

Just seen them last week with Trivium, and they were amazing, unfortunately they were in an accident, and had to drop off the tour. :(

Randomly remembered this thread earlier and thought I'd pop back and give you some more suggestions and see if we can revive it a bit! These are a little on the "heavy" side but they're not post-hardcore so thought they'd fit in here since I suppose you could still class them as alt :P

 

One of my favourite bands right now, they are insane!

This is my favourite music video, ever.

      I always thought the moon gets a lot of impact because there’s no atmosphere, so surely building a moon base is only going to end in disaster?

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.

      It's so stupid that you have to "enroll" in these extended updates.
