Question What music are you looking for or listening to this week? (31/08/2026)

3 Upvotes

This is where you can post all requests and recommendations.

If you're looking for a recommendation give a description/music link/artist so that other people will know what you want.

Example: "I want to hear an artist that sounds like Royal Blood" (you can get more specific but usually enough) - and then hopefully someone will respond with recommendations X, Y, and Z.

You can also leave a top level comment recommending an artist/project/scene that you think others might like if they like X, Y, and Z.

The more descriptive you guys are, the easier it is to help you find what you want. Just stating an artist's name isn't that helpful since you might only like one specific aspect of that artist's music.

Someone reported this post last week for playlists - note that you can have playlists in the comments/ here, the rules are for posts in the sub itself.

Review Panic! At The Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies (2006)

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I wrote a retrospective on the 20th anniversary of Panic! At The Disco’s debut single, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies."

In the piece, I dive into the musical throughline from Queen and Smashing Pumpkins to Blink, Fall Out Boy, and MCR that set the stage for Panic! to drop this cabaret-rock bomb on us in 2005. I also break down the bizarre structure of the song itself, like the Tom and Jerry pizzicato intro, the hilarious misheard lyrics ("poisoned rationality"), and how the second verse literally just repeats itself before escalating into pure chorus chaos.

Even if their later pop pivot wasn't for everyone, capturing this level of cultural lightning in a bottle on a first attempt is still a wild phenomenon.

Check out the full article here if you're interested: https://samwunderle.substack.com/p/20-years-later-panic-at-the-disco?r=58m1j&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer

Hi,

I just put out a video retrospective delving into the history of The Last Note of Freedom, which Whitesnake's David Coverdale performed for the Tom Cruise movie Days of Thunder.

Check it out if you're interested, it's quite a story actually, featuring the likes of Hans Zimmer, Billy Idol and Trevor Horn as well.

Subreddit

Wiki

Rock Music

r/rock

Rock Music. Not a sub for polls, top/ best lists etc, and we're not bloody google - This is a sub for the *music*. Please read the sub rules!

Members Active

170.1k

Sidebar

1) No AI, Private/ Unknown Covers or Remixes

AI - Just no. PR/UC - If it's a well-known band remixing/ re-recording their own stuff, or covering someone else, then we'll allow it - but (for example) single-instrument covers are a no-no. Also includes AI (cover or not), or artwork that's basically a 'painting' of a photo or a cover of a famous artists' style. Repeat offenders will be banned.

2) No Playlists/ I-like-X posts

I-Like-X - try actually posting something by the band, you can have the discussion you want in the comments (or comment in the weekly sticky post, which is, after all, what it's for). No posts with playlist stating "this is a playlist of the best music in the world" then it being a playlist of the music you like. In fact, no playlists generally - we've tried it before, the sub filled up with crap.

3) Use Correct Formatting

Band Name - Song or Album Name (Year) - [Optional additional tag or info]. English Only. English Only. No flair = no post, Incorrect Flair = removal.

4) Image/ Video Posts must be worthwhile. No memes that nobody will understand, or Low Effort Posts In General.

Do not simply post an image with no context. Memes that make no sense or are so niche that nobody will get them are subject to an instant ban. Discussion posts must actually be thought out and generate discussion. AI efforts do our heads in, so none of that either.

5) Self-Promotion Must Be Balanced and in Good Taste

This applies to artists, engineers, producers, writers, reviewers, podcasters, etc. Don't spam the same band, website or podcast more than once a day. Post the whole song, or at least most of it - worry about teasers when you've gotten somewhere. Be transparent. Engage with the community. And most of all, take criticism well. Lastly, please engage in the community in ways other than just posting your own material/ thesis questions.

6) Adequate Sources

When posting music, links that require a sign-up to play will be removed. When posting news or information, post the original source, not the shitty virus infected obscure blog that just copied and pasted it. When commenting in discussion and making claims, cite your sources.

7) Feedback

This is not a safe space. Artists should be prepared for honest and critical feedback, whether positive or negative. If you cannot handle criticism, don't post here.

Also - nobody is interested in your SHOCK at finding out that Clapton (for example) said something racist 30+ years before you were born just because you want to virtue signal. Rock is full of horror shows, get over it. Go find an echo-chamber elsewhere, we're not interested in educating you and you WILL be banned for stamping-that-foot.

8) Reposts

No reposting of tracks that have been posted within the last 30 days. No mass-posting of single artists. Use the search function to determine if your post meets this criteria.

9) Must Be Rock or Acceptable Rock Subgenres

We know it when we hear it. This is an all-inclusive space for most forms of rock. Acceptable genres include (but are not limited to) hard rock, classic rock, grunge/post-grunge, punk/post-punk/pop-punk, hardcore/post-hardcore, traditional heavy metal, post-rock, nu-metal, industrial rock/metal, indie rock, folk rock, and some groove metal and metalcore, and some symphonic metal. Death metal, black metal, grind/crust, grindcore, deathcore, heavier metalcore, Serbian Turbofolk etc. are NOT allowed here.

10) No "Recommendations/Suggestions" Posts, No Song ID Posts, and No "Top/Best" Lists or Discussions. Violations will result in a temporary ban; repeat offenders will be permabanned.

You COULD actually post some of the tracks from these albums/ artists instead of making a lazy top/ best list. Since, y'know, that's what this sub is supposed to be about - for recommendations or song identifications, there is a stickied thread in the sub in which you can ask for recs or help.

11) No "Rock Is/Isn't Dead","Rock Needs To Make A Comeback!", or "Is Rock Making a Comeback?" Posts

It's a tired subject that gets brought up constantly and doesn't really contribute anything to the sub...other than paving the way for other rule violations, arguments, etc. Let it go and find something else worth discussing.

12) No Birthday/ Anniversary posts - if you want to celebrate one of these, post a track by the artist/s and add the information in the comments - otherwise, your post will be removed. This is the ROCK subreddit not Facebook :-)
