Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!
See this post on recs on how to post!
The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.
We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

I was 10 when the Cranberries released "Dreams". I remember the first time I heard it on my dad's fancy stereo in my parent's basement. I was fascinated from the moment I heard that opening guitar chord. This song ended up on many of my mix tapes (and later mix CDs) throughout the 90s. Still to this day it makes me feel like I'm at home sitting on the floor listening to the radio.
