Have we ever had a "tell me what to listen to" thread?

[Kermit power]

Evening all,

I like finding new things to listen to. I like it when I'm listening to something I like and someone says "ooh, if you like that, try this". Have we ever had a thread to do this?

Apologies if we have, but if we haven't. let's give it a go! Pick three songs you like, post them up here (ideally with a link for people who might not know them) and then it's up to others to make recommendations for other stuff you might like!

To get the ball rolling, I'll serve up three from me which are all, by pure coincidence, cover versions.....

Summertime by Janis Joplin

I just don't know what to do with myself by the White Stripes

Personal Jesus by Marilyn Manson

So, anyone want to have a crack at some recommendations? The more obscure the better, so I can discover some new stuff!!

Thanks chaps! My idea worked!

I particularly like the last two Two Gallants tracks, and am now working through the rest of their stuff on Spotify.

Anyone else want to put up some favoured tracks for others to consider?

First saw them as suppoort for Jack White last year, and then also when they played Oxoford 02.

I like.
