~ Welcome to /r/ListenToThis ~

New, rare, and old bands, artists, tracks, or collaborations. Bringing the often unheard and neglected to new ears.

Listentothis is a place to discover new music, new or overlooked artists, and occasional rare tracks and live performances. It is not a place to bury music you don't like.

Keep an open mind, try something new, play nice and you may discover something great. Help to keep our selection eclectic, with a high artist turnover. All genres are welcome.

Mainstream music belongs elsewhere. If our 'hot' page is too mainstream for you, find more obscure music on the 'new' page.
