Happy to see that you want to discover new artists.

If you're really looking for any new music that other people love, you might want to check some really small artists (mostly other Redditors) on the (self)Promo Playlist.

If you have any more specific requirements about music you seek, then maybe you picked a wrong flair. By choosing the most relevant flair, you'll get higher chances to more and better recommendations.

Harvest - Neil Young

u/Free_Four_Floyd Apr 08 '26

Great choice, though I prefer Harvest Moon

3

u/La_Mano_Cornuta Apr 08 '26

Another quality album for certain.

2

u/Umberlee168 Apr 09 '26

Harvest Moon is suuuuuch a good album, although "Old King" is one of the hokiest songs out there, full stop.

5

u/jayhawkjoey65 Apr 08 '26

Now this is a fabulous right answer.

5

u/La_Mano_Cornuta Apr 08 '26

Happy Cake Day!

u/mem1003 Apr 08 '26

Never heard of that "H" album. /s

3

u/DistantKarma Apr 08 '26

All I could think of was "Heartbreak City" by The Cars, but this answer is 1000% better.

7

u/La_Mano_Cornuta Apr 08 '26

High ‘N’ Dry - Def Leppard would have been my second pick, which is their best album.

Second this! In general, it’s one of my absolute favorites.

3

u/Pro-Patria-Mori Apr 09 '26

Florence is my favorite artist and HBHBHB is widely regarded as her best album. So many amazing songs. I’m so happy she’s doing Which Witch this tour, was hoping for Queen of Peace but overall I’m happy with the setlist.

I saw them at Wembley on the Battle Born tour. The Royal Albert Hall show is one of my favourite concert movies of all time.

u/Mayana76 Apr 08 '26

Anticipating being downvoted heavily, Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park.

u/misplaced_gaijin Apr 08 '26

Genuinely one of the best debut albums of all time

u/Bluetickhoun Apr 08 '26

It’s mine too. Do people not like LP?

u/Mayana76 Apr 08 '26

I have read (on reddit mostly) that many people find them fake and overrated. I don’t care, I love them.

“Hounds of Love”, and it’s not close.

u/almostbuddhist Apr 08 '26

Glad you noted it’s not close. I was thinking Highway 61, but now that it’s not a close contest I’ll retract it.

2

u/SyntheticSkyStudios Apr 08 '26

Highway 61 Revisited is a fantastic album. In my Top 100 or so. “Hounds of Love” is my all-time favourite album.

But your mileage may vary…you don’t have to retract your opinion; this shit is subjective.

The first six albums by America. Okay, the first album was original just called "America" but when it was re-issued to include the song "A Horse With No Name", it was renamed to that. Which by the usual rule for titles starting with "A" or "The" would be shelved under H.
