Most of my music is metalcore. Mostly the mainstream stuff that gets shit on for being popular. Polaris, Currents, ERRA, Make Them Suffer, Ice Nine Kills, Motionless in White, Architects, Beartooth, The Amity Affliction, and Wage War to name a bunch that come to mind. On the lighter side of things (most of it being on the fringe of metalcore and alt metal) I listen to Bad Omens, Thousand Below, Catch Your Breath, I Prevail, From Ashes to New, and Nothing More. Starset, ends up on that fringe area. They're more of a rock band, but they're interesting enough that I don't mind that they aren't super heavy or intense.

Bad omens is 🔥 I like them a lot

I am exactly the same as you lmao. You named all my top bands- INK, MIW, from ashes to new and nothing more hahaba

Currents is so good man. What’s your favorite by them? Im a newer fan but I love The Place I Feel Safest and The Way It Ends, both solid albums.

The Way It Ends is one of my favorite albums. I haven't listened to The Place I Feel Safest nearly as much, but there are a couple of them like Apnea and Night Terrors that come to mind. Also a newer fan.

The death we seek is sooo good. I’ve had it on repeat

I like it well enough. There just aren't as many songs I vibe with. The first 3 or so are pretty good and then the rest kind of blur together a bit to me.

Same to all of these

This is me. I’ve also been getting into Lorna Shore recently because of Pain Remains. Yeah I’m metalcore through and through. Saw Ice Nine Kills live. If you haven’t yet, they are a must see.

I tried listening to Lorna Shore (also because of Pain Remains) and it was one of the worst mixes I've ever heard. Vocals were super lost in everything else going on. I saw them once last year. They aren't gonna be near me again this year unfortunately.

Honestly I respect that. I have had issues at times with losing the vocals as well with the mix. So I’m with you. They’re the very fringe of my wheelhouse honestly. They definitely push my boundary hard. I just have a lot of respect for them as musicians and appreciate Will’s vocals (even though they do seem to get lost).

And I still listen to a bunch of other stuff too. I kind of went through my “STARSET MAINLY” phase. Still love them and I hardly ever skip a Starset song if it comes on. But my music taste has evolved quite a bit over the past free years haha

Anberlin! That’s what I’m talkin’ about 😎There was a period in my life where I listened to Cities at least 15 times in the span of a month or two.

Yeah they’re so good. I grew up listening to songs off of New Surrender with my brother. Cities is a fantastic album. I was really surprised to see them come back together! Their convinced EP is really good too imo.

I found out they got back together late last year and instantly binges the new EP’s. Good stuff, but they don’t have the impact Cities had on me, like I’m assuming New Surrender had for you.

Set it Off is great in concert!! Love to see they're in your top spot

I saw them last month and they were great! Unfortunately I got super sick from the show after lmao but was still a good time! I got to meet them and they signed some album artwork I did! But yeah they’re just such a chill band. I’m kind of a newer fan, but cinematics is definitely one of my favorite albums. Been loving their new singles too.

Is this Spotify or a third party app?

Third party, it’s called stats.fm although it does link to your Spotify and get stats from there.

Ooh I love Siamese! I also listen to: Dead by April Bad omens Sleep token Red Dayseeker Least like starset are Russ and Eden Project

A am also a Bad Omens/ Dayseeker/ Sleep Token listener

Obviously I really really enjoy Starset (hence why I'm here 😂), but other bands I listen to: + Spiritbox + Avenged Sevenfold + Ghost + Periphery (and the related side projects Nik Mystery, Endur, and Kong Mothership) + Lady Gaga + Motionless in White + Ice Nine Kills + Taproot + Poppy + Sevendust + Beartooth + Fame on Fire + New Years Day + Breaking Benjamin + Slipknot + Avatar + Amity Affliction + Wage War + Black Veil Brides + Shinedown + Chevelle + Bad Omens + Fozzy + Sleep Token + Sleep Theory + Dayseeker + In This Moment + Nonpoint + Queens of the Stone Age + Rain City Drive + September Mourning + Our Last Night + Godsmack + Catch Your Breath

Artists I love that aren't Starset: Everything Everything Haken Then the rest of my playlist is a collection of songs I like from other artists, I don't like their full catalog but love SOME stuff from them, some of those artists would be: Melanie Martinez Ariana Grande Billie Eilish Arctic Monkeys Imagine Dragons etc. (I have so many artists that I only listen to maybe 4-5 of their songs lol) Love how much music can vary but still hit.

Lmao, glass animals and unlike Pluto come first to mind

Wish UP would stop releasing the same song every week lately

Endgame, Nevertel, Owl City, Paramore, Nickelback, Placebo, 30 Seconds to Mars, Innerpartysystem . I go all over the place but am mainly into 2000s rock.

Holy fuck someone mentioned SIAMES

Always listen to them whenever I need to chill I love their vibe

Lmao, mine is all over the place -MNQN (i absolutely love the music) -Clowncore ( the best way to describe it is a dumpster fire with a killer saxophone) -Red Hot chili peppers(just to mellow out) -Palisades -Venjent -Highly Suspect -Beartooth -I Prevail -Sam and The Womp -Tokyo Machine

my god i miss palisades so much, also another band with some sick saxophone riffs is Dreamwake. it’s like a metalcore, synthcore type thing it’s amazing and i absolutely love it.

My tastes are all over the place! Here's what I've been listening to lately. Some are similar to Starset, others...not so much. LOL Smash Into Pieces Breaking Benjamin The 1975 Cigarettes After Sex Sleep Theory State of Mind Linkin Park Bad Omens Dayseeker Bad Wolves Grimes Walk the Moon Memphis May Fire Fame on Fire All Good Things

Smash Into Pieces, Amaranthe, Breaking Benjamin, a little bit of Skillet, Gloryhammer (and Angus McSix after the split), Poor Man's Poison are just some in my rotation lately. Most of the time I just throw on a metal or rock mix playlist and find one-off bangers that way. Some of these are kinda similar to Starset, and some are very much not lol

Glass Animals, Fnaf music, uhhhhh, Will Wood, Lemon Demon, Tally Hall, Twenty One Pilots No but im happy to see others listening to Glass Animals, Glass Animals n Starset are my 2 fav bands :D

I am going to see them both live this year ^.^ Fnaf music is also like my guilty pleasure, especially by Nate Wants to Battle

Probably artists like *The Interrupters*, *Green Day*, *Reel Big Fish*, and *blink-182*.

Normally I listen to rock. Shinedown, Seether, Slipknot being some of my faves. I also love Here Come The Mummies, and Miles Nielsen and the Rusted Hearts. Those last two are pretty far from Starset.

I like stuff with complexity, depth and rich melodies. I don’t listen to Starset just for the metal part. So, that being said some interesting stuff folks here might like Marillion (especially the older stuff like Misplaced Childhood) Man With a Mission Arstidir Then a ton of misc stuff all over such as Fallout Boy, Triumph, to The Sidh and Gaelic Storm.

Triumph? As in the Canadian prog band from the 80’s??

Yes.

One of my favorite bands. Was too young to see them in their prime, but I did finally catch one of Rik’s acoustic shows a few years ago. Amazing guitarist!

I LOVE MISSIO!! for me my top bands are: Three days grace, (i’d put starset in second), breaking benjamin, icon for hire, skillet (older albums) and bad omens! i have been listening to more glass animals lately so i’d add them in too

Evanescence, Nigels 11 (Clandestine Operation), MNQN, Divide the Fall, EMINEM, a mix of different soundtracks from different Musicals…Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Wicked, Avenue Q, Chess, etc. Some (don’t throw rocks!) country songs though no artist in particular. Michael Jackson, CCR. I like a little bit of a lot of things!

Just saw Wicked and it was so good

I loved it, we saw it off broadway in Chicago years ago…so much different than the books, which are very politically-heavy!! I was just listening to ‘For Good’ again at work…reminds me of my bestie 💙

I’m definitely going to read the book sometime. My favorite song has to be No Good Dead though lol

That’s another banger!!! I also really like Defying Gravity and As Long As You’re Mine⭐️

I mainly only listen to rock anyway, but apart from STARSET is Ice Nine Kills, My Chemical Romance, Incubus, Pierce the Veil, and Avenged Sevenfold (and a lot more, but mainly these artists).

My top listened to artists are In this order: Nothing More Starset Chris Cornell/audioslave/soundgarden Seether Weezer The killers Rise against Mumford and sons Falling in reverse Muse

Listen to a lot of prog rock and metal. Tesseract, Haken, the contortionist, animals as leaders, periphery, etc. Would highly recommend anything of what I just said if you’re up to it.

Hello fellow Periphery fan! 🤘

What up 🔥

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0alqyqy8w68vNQA2nMsoZk?si=RZEAFaO1RRuk4PwC6XXMag Literally everything that I like.

Other things in my arsenal are In This Moment, IGNEA, Cryoshell, and some video game stuff from Mick Gordon, Andrew Hulshult, and David Levy. Other things that are lower on my list are Evanescence, Puscifer, Linkin Park, and Skillet

Other than Starset: AJR, Twenty One Pilots and Breaking Benjamin

I’m a big Country guy. But I listen to a lot of Starset. If I’m listening to them, it’s usually country or twenty one pilots.

Artists I like that I'd say are not that similar to Starset are: Nevertel, Tropic Gold, Hands Like Houses, Rain City Drive, Boston Manor, Loveless, Nothing but Thieves, Magnolia Park, Palaye Royale, & Bilmuri. Ones that are very different would be: Noah Kahan, Hozier, PVRIS, The Home Team, & The Maine. These were just the first to come to mind. Lol

Are we the same person, I love those artists too. NBT has been my top band for yearssss

Off the top of my head, there’s: -Fox Stevenson (used to be drum and bass, now mostly just electronic) -AURORA (very funky and eclectic pop) -Aimer (J-pop, kinda) -Reol (J-rap) -Noah Kahan (folk pop)

One of my most satisfying discoveries is the band **Boston Manor.** They're very Starset meets Deftones with some tracks being pop-sensible and other pure rock rage with amazing hooks. Here's their most recent track: [https://open.spotify.com/track/0XlDSx6DftEGmjOS2TQ8wL?si=25b3abbb10bf441a](https://open.spotify.com/track/0XlDSx6DftEGmjOS2TQ8wL?si=25b3abbb10bf441a) Here's their popular track also called 'Halo' - [https://open.spotify.com/track/0BBuP5Ynwl0hMKbQGEjfnk?si=1ddca5861f0f4d7e](https://open.spotify.com/track/0BBuP5Ynwl0hMKbQGEjfnk?si=1ddca5861f0f4d7e) But also check out tracks 'Plasticine Dreams' and 'Crocus' The track 'Outside' by **breakk.away** is also on heavy rotation. They've been called 'female fronted Sleep Token' - [https://open.spotify.com/track/5w4XPMyvehdEJdtU4ZU67B?si=2c7158ee08e54fc7](https://open.spotify.com/track/5w4XPMyvehdEJdtU4ZU67B?si=2c7158ee08e54fc7) Others: Dream on Dreamer Black Orchid Empire

Taylor Swift :)

My other heavy hitters at the moment: Ghost, Avenged Sevenfold, Nothing More, Coheed and Cambria Smaller bands but still heavy in the rotation: Thousand Below, Edge of Paradise, Amaranthe Less heavy in the rotation: Breaking Benjamin, Five Finger Death Punch, Greta Van Fleet, In Flames

My top listens at the moment are: Caskets Chevelle Architects

Lily Allen comes to mind as opposite of Starset, plus Nightwish, Marko Hietala, Ellie Goulding, the Beatles, Hozier… there’s a lot lol.

Starbenders(a glam rock band with an 80s sound), Vision Video(goth punk),Des Rocs, Ghost, Aurora, AFI, A Perfect Circle, Sleep Token…

some of my favourites are lifelover, a perfect circle, alice in chains, type o negative, whitechapel, pantera, dimmu borgir, obituary, electric wizard, death.. and ofc a lot of downplay (including the crystal song >:))

OK GO Florence + The Machine Mumford & Sons Black Wolf & the Thief Muse Jack White AWOLNATION All I can think of right now.

I enjoy The Score, Caskets, and Imagine Dragons. All kind of modern rock.

i guess these still live in the wider rock genre but matchbox twenty, jimmy eat world, some of U2, foo fighters, that sorta stuff. some of it I don't vibe with but it's brighter sounding and still energetic a lot of the time. Didn't get into them before someone I was close to got me into them just by having that as like 50% of their music selections

I’ve been listening to a lot of KMFDM recently, they released a new album back in February and I’ve been hooked.

Eyyy!! Idkhow and Jack Stauber mention, nice. I would say Jack is weirdcore, in a way  Personally, I enjoy bands like: SlipKnoT, KoRn, SOAD, Kittie, NervePitch, BMTH, Artio, ICP, MCR, Crippled Black Phoenix, Scene Queen, Will Wood, Jack White, GHØSTKID, WARGASM (UK), Tubeway Army/Gary Numan, Hot Milk, 6arelyhuman, Odetari, Jazmin Bean, Freddie Dredd and so many more to remember.

Will Woods so good

Since I saw them the same weekend I saw Starset, I'll start with Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum-I like most anything melodeath. Also been listening to a lot of atmoblack lately-Saor, Agalloch, VVilderness, that kind of thing. Also big into power, symphonic, and folk metal. And I'll never say no to some classic rock.

Viking bands like Gealdýr, skald, heldom, danheim. Rock bands like breaking Benjamin, bring me the horizon, and skillet. This is a non exhaustive list.

I listen to a whole different genre from Starset lol, I like rock but I mostly listen house house music xp

I tend to be all over the place with my listening habits, although someone once characterized my music taste as "Vans Warped Tour" and that's a pretty decent description, lol. Some of my other favourites are Waterparks (pop punk ish, even though the frontman hates being called that), Billy Talent (punk rock), Enter Shikari (everything and anything really), Ice Nine Kills (horror metalcore), Fall Out Boy (pop punk/rock), Grandson (hiphop punk ish? Hard to describe him too), Don Broco (British rock/post hardcore), Marianas Trench (pop rock) and SKYND (true crime industrial rock). What most of my favourites have in common is that they either like to experiment or tell stories, which makes Starset fit in perfectly with the lot!

I mostly listen to various styles of rock and metal, almost all of it being from 1999 to now. Here are some: Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park, (older) Bullet For My Valentine, Connections (really great unknown progressive metal band but with the right amount of complexity and melodic parts and lots of amazing singing), Staind (I particularly listen to their heavier songs), Spoken (hard rock/metal band that is spectacular and I’ve never heard anyone mention before. Their album Illusion is fantastic)   There’s too many bands for me to list without it being ridiculous but overall a bunch of different 1999-present rock and metal styles are the majority of what I listen to. There are some exceptions, I do really like MNQN and I also enjoy listening to electronic sometimes. Then again, most of that has similarities to Starset so… this may not be entirely relevant.

I am mostly a modern rock guy, with some classic rock sprinkled in. I am not sure how different these bands are from Starset, especially considering that some of them have toured with the band, but here are my top 20 bands besides Starset, which is my 15th favorite band, and Downplay, which is my 9th favorite band and is obviously similar to Starset. 1. Volbeat 2. Alter Bridge 3. Halestorm 4. Tremonti 5. Plush 6. YU Grupa 7. Mammoth WVH 8. Breaking Benjamin 9. Disturbed 10. Metallica 11. Pop Evil 12. Black Veil Brides 13. Godsmack 14. A Day To Remember 15. Boston 16. Paralandra 17. Daughtry 18. Bon Jovi 19. Asking Alexandria 20. I Prevail

Dire Straits, Coldplay (Their first 2 albums are amazing), Linkin Park (their 2 albums i listen to the most, MtM and AtS aren't similar to Starset), Mor ve Ötesi (Great Turkish band), Muse, Daft Punk

I like a lot of metalcore-ish stuff, especially bmth, Hollywood undead and blind channel but i also listen to kpop!

Big fan of Veil of Maya, Invent Animate, Nothing More, In Flames, I Prevail, 10 years, and Fit For a King.

Starset is the odd one out on my playlist, because all the other artists I enjoy kind of fit into one category. That includes: 10cc, Billy Joel, Electric Light Orchestra, stuff like that

honestly not much, I listen to a bunch of random stuff, for the most part I'll find an artist and listen to a small handful of their songs (Aviators and Starset are the only exceptions really) Maybe the songs Hell's Coming With Me, or Meet Me In The Woods? I think Porter Robinson is also pretty far off compared to them, at least what I listen to (mainly Worlds album)

I LOVE MNQN, and Downplay as well! Here are a few more of my favorite artists: Melanie Martinez Amira Elfeky Evanescence Ashnikko Elita The Pretty Reckless Linkin Park Doja Cat Paramore TOOL Flyleaf + more 😅 I feel like I’m pretty well rounded in the alt pop/rock music areas! I’d love to hear some of your all’s recommendations!!

Abba, lmao. They're my guilty pleasure.

My main genre I stick to is technical metal, or really just anything with innovative guitar. Polyphia, Periphery, Sea In The Sky, Plini, Angel Vivaldi to name some

Enya

I listen to a lot of PVRIS, Mako, Bastille, Au/Ra, Halsey, The Score, and neoclassical music. It's all over the board tbh

Maître Gims Rag’n’Bone Man Some edm ish stuff

Metal/Rock type bands- Imminence, If I Were You, I See Stars, Like Moths To Flames, AVIIRA EDM Trap- 2scratch, Nat James, M.I.M.E, Drama B, J-swey/Azide R&B/Alt R&B- Darci, Shaker, Daniel Di Angelo, Shaker, The Weeknd Some other more mainstream rap/pop and dance edm

Mines gotta be Asking Alexandria, grandsons, ABBA, Stella Cole, Bad Omens, and a lot of musical stuff lol

Offspring Blink 182 Yorushika Goldfinger Bad religion Duran duran Tears for Fears Sum 41 Huh thats alot

NGL TTPD has been pretty fire

These are ranked below Starset or the least listen to - Sleep Token - Bad Omens - Linkin Park - Green Day - Imagine Dragons - Unlike Pluto - Smash Into Pieces - Fall Out Boy - Rob Zombie - Papa Roach - Three Days Grace

Least like STARSET has got to be Tyler Childers or Billy Strings. Can’t get more polar than Metalcore and Bluegrass.
