Companion Market:

My musical taste has stagnated over time, and I've been having a hard time finding new music that I like. Can Manifold help?

You can suggest either a song, an album, or a band. If you suggest a band, please also suggest a song/album alongside it so I know where to start.

My musical taste is quite specific. I love progressive rock and metal, as well as some regular rock/metal, and occasionally some Jazz Fusion or even classical. In terms of vibes, I like music that is complex, more on the experimental side, usually with sadder vibes but not necessarily. Feel free to suggest something out of my comfort zone, but take into account that you will have a lower chance of success. Here are some of my favorite bands, in no particular order:

Progressive Metal:

• Between The Buried and Me

• Haken

• Dream Theater

• Leprous

• Caligula's horse

• Opeth (both old and new)

Progressive Rock:

• Pink Floyd

• Gentle Giant

• King Crimson

• Porcupine Tree

• Phideaux

• Spock's Beard

Other Rock/Metal:

• King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

• Avenged Sevenfold

• Blind Guardian

• Red Hot Chili Peppers

Jazz:

• Diablo Swing Orchestra

• Hiromi Uehara

Requirements for entry:

• I haven’t already listened to it.

• Max 4 suggestions per person, though if you suggest something and I’ve already listened to it, I’ll let you know in the comments and you can suggest again.

Prize Structure:

• 15x 50M for each song I end up liking

• 10x 200M for each album (or >20 min musical piece) I end up liking (does not have to be explicitly suggested, I might decide to listen to an entire album rather than a song)

• 2x grand prize of 3000M for a suggestion that ends up with me having a new favorite band

Bonus multiplier:

• 1.5x multiplier for anything outside of my comfort zone that I end up liking (comfort zone evaluated subjectively)

Additional Prizes might be added at my discretion

I'll create a parallel market about what band ends up as my favorite. Note that this market will have slightly different criteria, with only the single favorite band winning that market.  I’ll answer questions in the comments about my taste, so feel free to AMA.

If a band that you were going to suggest has already been suggested, please add a comment below that to suggest other albums songs. Up to 3 prizes can be awarded per band
