The 10 Quintessential Hip Hop Albums of 2022
2022 is wrapping up and as a lover of hip-hop (and music in general), I always find myself looking back on the new music that I had the privilege of listening to throughout the year. This has been a great year for hip hop, by my count it's easily the best year since 2018 when we got gems like...
Top 5 Kanye Songs
Recently my buddy asked me to rank my top 5 Kanye songs and bars which I immediately responded bro that's impossible. No matter how you feel about Kanye you have to respect his musical genius. Buddy does say countless outlandish comments but we all know musically he is respected by peoples of all...
Crazy Arbitrage in Real Life (you can do it too!)
As I sit in my living room, surrounded by four full-size violins, I can’t help but reflect on the journey that has led me here. I used to be a completely average person – I had a few hobbies, but nothing really special. That all changed when I started working at a trading firm. I started to...
How Music Affects Trading [CHOOSE MY PLAYLIST!]
I have recently been allowed to use headphones/airpods during certain times of day on my equity options desk at Jane Street.

EDM Music is for People Dead on the Inside
Art is the reflection of ones soul and music gives great insight into people. EDM is for people dead on the inside and just need noise as they can't be left to their thoughts. People who enjoy folk and Americana music are on the other end of the spectrum.

Best Decade of Music
1980's are my favorite. I mean MJ, Prince, Van Halen, Phil Collins, Def Leppard, Whitney Houston, Men Without Hats, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, Rick James, Madonna. The list goes on and on. I don't think any decade can compete with that. Real instruments being played > whatever we have now

Saw Godspeed You! Black Emperor here in Chicago last night, and it was a truly incredible experience. Wondering if anyone else here is a fan of this genre of music. I should add, if you're not, something is wrong with you.
What song(s) went through your head as you received notice of your offer?
Hi all. Simple and sweet. New York New York? Mozart's Laudate Dominum? What songs went through your head as you received the good news? I remember Frank Sinatra's "Bewitched" came to my mind as I hung up the phone and smiled. Let's hear yours.. Torero

Hip hop artist Clyde Kelly Atkins (stage name is Clyde Kelly) quit his job at McKinsey so he would have more free time to pursue his music career and obtain a Wharton MBA at the same time. [quote] “You don’t have anyone in your life that you sort of see on a daily basis. It’s very...
Commemoration for Father of Rock 'N' Roll, Chuck Berry
Getting lazy this afternoon, I was going over music playlists and I decided to listen to Chuck Berry. In the process, I learned of his death two months ago this March. I am no fan of rock but nevertheless I had a lot of respect for this guy and admired his talents. Debuted in 50s, I know him as a...

Ran out of music to listen to. Does anyone have reccomendations?
I need some new music to listen to.... Pretty much listen to anything but country. I prefer listening to alternative rock and rap, but would enjoy some EDM recommendations and even stuff for the piano (for studying/ relaxing). * Some of my favorite albums include Kanye West's College Dropout, and...
For those of you with Last.fm: what is your most-scrobbled album of all time & why?
For me, it's Silver & Gold by Sufjan Stevens, because that shit's the patrician pinnacle of Holiday Season Music. It's practically on repeat all December. (Sorry, Mariah.)

Can Apple Music Overtake Spotify?

That was, in my opinion, the GOAT time period for music: - Incubus - Staind - Vertical Horizon - Linkin Park - Puddle of Mudd - Nirvana - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Lenny Kravitz Etc. Every time I just lay back and listen to any of the above I have an eargasm. Post your favorite 90's bands and songs!
Music - Recently signed up for iTunes
I recently signed up for iTunes, but I have been out of touch with music for a long time. What are some good musicians and songs out recently? I'm open to any genre outside of country or boy bands.
Blitzed, Smashed and Drunk: Drinking Songs for Drinking People
Just to change it up this week… it’s always fun to start things out with a song…
Dream Pop
I just heard this song and absolutely loved it. It's called "The Kids Were Wrong" by Memoryhouse, and sounds like a combination of Of Monsters And Men, The Smashing Pumpkins, and The Flaming Lips, plus a little extra. Apparently, the band falls under the genre of "dream pop" which I've never heard...
Any Metalheads on WSO?
Head of Metal: The First 6 Months
Some of you remember my New Year's resolution and recent launch of Head of Metal, a side project I've been working on to create and accessible and passionate blog about heavy metal music. I'm grateful for the guidance I've received so far from Patrick, Eddie, and Social Triggers (which I really...
Music Industry IB
Hello, I'm curious what firms are big in doing music industry transactions? I'm assuming it's small/boutique and very specialized firms. Also, how do record labels go about obtaining financing? I ask because I eventually want to work in the music industry as a scout or maybe even CF at a record...

Who Should Play the Next Halftime Show?
The halftime show is a grand Super Bowl pastime, notwithstanding a few complete flops over the years. Much like the commercials that some people make a sport out of viewing, the halftime has grown to the point where the spectacle sometimes overtakes the game itself in importance (in the minds of...

Petition to Make "Party in the U.S.A." The New National Anthem!
I used to hate this song when it first came out then I discovered by accident that it's a great party song. When I was in college the accounting professor played the song at the end of class because he thought that the students would like it. At the time, I felt trolled; accounting class is not...
Financiers & Music
I am a self professed music lover - I can't be at home or walking anywhere without some fantastic metal playing on my iPhone or speakers. I'm also a long-time guitar player. For all you other monkeys who cant live without your tunes be it at work, travelling or just chilling at home, how do you...
Do you like 30 Seconds to Mars?
Do you like 30 Seconds to Mars?* From the second I first heard their song, “The Kill” I thought, “WTF, this is the most epic workout song ever!” With their post grudge/ Screamo style they electrified the rock charts and MTV shortly after the release of “A Beautiful Lie.” However, it...
Heavy Metal Is Saving Society
[quote]Man, I see the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't...
Summer Anthems.
What are you summer anthems? For me with out a doubt it is this.
Good trip-hop, downtempo music bars / clubs in NYC
So I've been in NYC for quite a bit now but haven't come across any nice trip hop playing lounges / bars / clubs. Almost wanna pull my hair out at clubs / bars that play the same fucking top 40 music all the time. Basically I'm looking for a place that would play Massive Attack at least once a...
Hey Man, What Are You Listening To?
Since I am literally and figuratively on the beach this week, I decided I should keep things a little more relaxed and light hearted. Yes, this week we are talking about music. I know for some people, music and work don’t mix. For those people, this is probably as far as you need to read. I...
WSO Music
Hi Monkeys, I'm curious about the kinds of music you guys are into. I don't care what your job is, or even if you are a student (I am). For example, I'm listening to Mission of Burma's Heart of Darkness right now. Any takers?
Pandora - Same experience?
...is terrible. It cycles through the same 5-6 songs per artist. I listen to artists who have hundreds of songs, and yet Pandora keeps serving up the same handful of songs every time I use the service (which is every day). Anyone else have the same experience?
What song do you have stuck in your head?
So monkeys, what tunes do you have playing on repeat over and over? Crucial part of the workday, IMHO. For me, right now: Vampire Weekend - "Diplomat's Son" (a little obscure but wicked good tune)
Where can I find more music like this?
Hey guys, Probably not the best forum to ask this but since this is the only forum i go on then i figure i would give this a shot. I found this violin cover on World Star Hip Hop of all places.. -_- and I really like the vibe i get from this music. I would love to listen to more violin music similar...
Last.fm vs. Grooveshark vs. Spotify vs. ?
The Skullcandy IPO is set for launch tomorrow (proposed symbol: SKUL), and by all measures it appears to be an in-demand issue which should do well , at least initially. I had a cheap set of Skullcandy earbuds once, but I didn't like them. That's not a reflection on the company, more a commentary on...
