my favorite albums of the year. would love recs from 2026 based off these!
Pugnello - Gilla Band
Halo - Tiffany Day
oooo - Petey USA
Life 1 - Quadeca
Cry Baby - Vince Staples
U - underscores
you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love - Olivia Rodrigo
Redstar Wu & the Worldwide Scourge - Genesis Owusu
@wizardneedsfood@retro.pizza I dig your list! Cry Baby, in particular, really stood out to me this year. The following recs are based mostly on that record, but I'm going out on a limb with some of 'em, trying to connect the disparate sounds from your list to similar vibes I heard this year. (Also limiting recs to music published in 2026.)
- VOICE OF THE REVOLUTION by The Neighborhood Kids
- FENIAN by KNEECAP
- The Monsters They Made by Norman Sann
- VIOLENCE by Playboy Manbaby
- WASTELAND COUNTRY by Moon Walker
- Fear of God by Penelope Scott
Some recs I feel less confident you'll enjoy, but on the off-chance that you might like 'em:
- c๐m songs by Ada Rook
- Hound by hey, nothing
- Everywhere Isn't Texas by August Ponthier
- Gongbu by Balming Tiger
- Wagon Burner by Dead Pioneers
If you have any other records you want to recommend in return, please share ๐

@wizardneedsfood@retro.pizza listening to Redstar Wu & The Worldwide Scourge for the first time this morning. Good stuffs! I was tickled by the reference to Disturbed's "Down with the Sickness" on "DEATH CULT ZOMBIE" ๐
Some additional recommendations based on this one:
- Hyphen
- MUDRAT
- Hanumankind
- J-Milla
All have published music recently, but no new albums in 2026.
@mosspiglet ooo thanks for all the recs and things! i'll respond fully tomorrow. i was quite sick today ๐
yes, these are all ranked.
