I am currently wondering about that so that's how this thread came up.
The idea is easy - post what you listen to (or what you are planning to) and ask for suggestions from others.
I know ATRL is a bit close minded when it comes to music taste and there's so much more music to discover outside the top 40 (I don't say pop cause there's a lot of undiscovered pop music as well), so I think this would actually be beneficial to many.
I'll start:
All my favourite artists are in my signature, but for those who can't see it:
Rihanna
James Morrison
Coldplay
Kings of Leon
Kodaline

I can already see this flopping tragically or turning into a mess...
If you're getting into Frank, start with nostalgia.Ultra he uses Strawberry Swing, Hotel California and Electric Feel instrumentals so there's an entry point. The whole mixtape is perfect tho
Black Holes and Revelations and Origins of Symmetry for Muse
Ryn is new and not so popular yet but OctaHate is currently top 100 on iTunes and rising.
These are the only 5 songs she has out right now and her album comes out on June 16th.
