[Discussion] New music... mickbutton

I'd love to hear some new music but I'm often driving and can't open all the links separately, so I've made a collaborative playlist on Spotify for people to share their own, or bands they love music so I can listen on my journeys! ( https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2myaFpDMX5ZJaTDOfZZx6v ) Please feel free to join in and add 1 or 2 songs to the playlist and I'll be listening - ALL genres welcome! I don't think this is breaking any of this subs rules, apologies if so... Looking forward to finding some new tunes!!
