jrlikestodance 03.22.26	Would love to hear from some older Sputheads on this topic? Also think it'd be cool to do a Sputcore bracket lol
Hawks 03.22.26	You definitely covered a lot of them!
evilford 03.22.26	Death
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	I did lurk for a good time before actively posting and had a few alts @Ford oh yea thats a big one
Cygnatti 03.22.26	Shouldn’t brand new be here?
VlacDrac 03.22.26	Lateralus definitely is Sputcore.
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	Good calls
budgie 03.22.26	def not punk idk why no one here likes punk super weird
VlacDrac 03.22.26	I feel like Mastodon is also missing. I don't know which album, though. Maybe Leviathan or Crack The Skye.
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	Yea that's a bummer, we need more love for punk and traditional hardcore
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	I'll add Leviathan
AlkemestRedux 03.22.26	Needs more Defeater ayo
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	Not my fav but so true!!!
AlkemestRedux 03.22.26	Whoo! Honestly I love that album lol it hits right in the feels still
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	Thought of some more
RVAHC13 03.22.26	Aeroplane Over The Sea Spiderland Diary Blackwater Park Loveless The Seer Sunbather Untrue Merriweather Post Pavillion Lift Your Skinny Fists Deathconciousness Good Kid MAAD City Home Like NoPlace Leaves Turn Inside You God and the Devil OK Computer Colors American Football Turn on the Bright Lights Grace Endtroducing Raven that Refused to Sing Daydream Nation Calculating Infinity What It Takes to Move Forward Trouble Will Find Me We Are The Romans Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Is Survived By The Sound of Perseverance
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	Now that's a list! Will add some of these shortly
Aids 03.22.26	we seem to have been higher on Laura Stevenson than most, which I'm happy to have been a part of. Weirdly feels like Wheel or Sit Resist is sputcore.
Aids 03.22.26	also More Than Life - Love Let Me Go and probably Manchester Orchestra honestly basically everything I liked in 2011
combustion07 03.22.26	Hot Cross was getting discussed a ton when I joined. Circle Takes the Square too
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	Definitely checked both those bands cuz of this site myself
Jebull 03.22.26	Ooh I thought of one not mentioned randomly, Protest the Hero - Fortress
combustion07 03.22.26	For sure. List has inspired me to go back and jam them, Daitro and 7 Angels 7 Plagues.
unclereich 03.22.26	Sputnik users first rap albums: run the jewels - any album Killer mike- rap music El p- cancer 4 cure Sadistik- flowers for my father Aesop rock- skelethon A tribe called quest- low end theory Macklemore & Ryan Lewis- the heist
combustion07 03.22.26	Rosetta, Sikth and diSEMBOWELMENT too
Jebull 03.22.26	Fuck yeah, I was about to say Sikth, good on Rosetta and diS. too RVAHC13 you know whats up lol
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	Macklemore is hilarious, was that seriously regarded here?
unclereich 03.22.26	It was on the front page for at least a month
Cygnatti 03.22.26	I feel like that was more about controversy, rather than everyone like it it a lot.
unclereich 03.22.26	I’ve got a better one then: Justin Timberlake- the 20/20 experience. It was on the front page that entire year
unclereich 03.22.26	Also not sure if sputcore means everyone has to like it considering defeater and btbam are on this list. most people who are still active hate those bands
ShadowRemains 03.22.26	jane doe is by far the most sputcore album, it might be loved/liked elsewhere, but it is literally coded into the metaverse of this site
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	I feel that way reich, to me personally i think its more what bands will generate discussion
unclereich 03.22.26	Great list regardless!
ShadowRemains 03.22.26	bomb the music industry! - vacation or scrambles bon iver - for emma, forever ago dark time sunshine - vessel
artificialbox 03.22.26	Amia Venera Landscape for sure
Emim 03.22.26	Gospel - The Moon Is a Dead World Elliott Smith - Either/Or Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind Feel like Static Dress has become a new age sputcore band
omgbecky 03.22.26	Lmao, yeah, y'all be going crazy for these! I'll add that one Massive Attack album.
ShadowRemains 03.22.26	lol how did mezzanine not get mentioned yet, that album literally spawned an entire sub-group/community within this community
Get Low 03.22.26	Isn't State Faults usually one that gets mentioned in these lists?
Emim 03.22.26	Training for Utopia - Plastic Soul Impalement Beloved too, honestly. Both thanks to Scoot
efp123 03.22.26	There will be fireworks. They are more than okay, but the site seems to love them a lot
RVAHC13 03.22.26	Oh yeah I forgot Bon Iver Also every Devin Townsend project ever
DoofDoof 03.22.26	Sunhouse
Hawks 03.22.26	State Faults and There Will Be Fireworks definitely need mentioned lol.
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	Love to see all the feedback and different artists/genres shown in this thread
ConcubinaryCode 03.22.26	Chat Pile is pretty universally beloved here. Deafheaven when sunbather came out Boris kinda? Depends on the album Kayo Dot Gospel Thrice is a big one I dont see yet either
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	Got Thrice at 8 and Deafheaven at 14. Kayo Dot/maudlin of the well is a massive shout I overlooked
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	Updated list!!! I'm gonna have to make an effort to check/revisit everything I'm not as familiar with
ConcubinaryCode 03.22.26	Oop my bad I was kinda breezing through and didnt see the pink album. I was also looking for vhessiu over artist.
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	I almost went w Vheissu but I figured any Thrice pick would work
cloakanddagger 03.22.26	I've been on sput for 13 years and there's still a bunch of stuff on this list I've never listened to. Need to step my game up clearly
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	I'm right there with you buddy, I just thought it was a perfect time for some historical reflection
cloakanddagger 03.22.26	Hanl definitely belongs here though, that's quintessential sputcore. I think the wiki page even explicitly says sputnik is where that album first got popular
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	That's one I definitely want to try. Shoegaze has always been a blind spot in my personal tastes
cylinder 03.22.26	Ah, this takes me back
Jebull 03.22.26	I might have to make this a playlist :D
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	What Sput classics do yall think I or others are missing?
Demon of the Fall 03.22.26	Trophy Scars
Demon of the Fall 03.22.26	Vi som älskade varandra så mycket yeah, maybe not ‘big’ enough but kinda like State Faults BEFORE their latest blew up. i.e. more popular here relatively
Jebull 03.22.26	Hmm. Enslaved?
Demon of the Fall 03.22.26	Massive Attack & Boards of Canada just seem weird to me probably Deftones too
Demon of the Fall 03.22.26	just cos those bands are massively popular elsewhere and I don’t think Sput’s love of them is in any way disproportionate then again, this may be about how we ‘define’ it
Deathconscious 03.22.26	This list is pretty on point.
Demon of the Fall 03.22.26	Stimming is Sputcore Aphex, Autechre, Boards, FlyLo etc. are not imo
cloakanddagger 03.22.26	"That's one I definitely want to try" Definitely recommend it bud! As for what I'd add to this list I'd say In Shallow Seas We Sail by Emery, Fake History by Letlive and New Surrender by Anberlin should all be on here.
RVAHC13 03.22.26	Unknown Pleasures Brother, Sister The Argument Neon Bible Hospice Shape of Punk To Come I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning Carrie and Lowell
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	@Demon I find those artists all are part of the face of Sput discussion around electronic music. Much more than Stimming but maybe thats my personal biases coming into play. I also definitely push more “functional” dance music compared to most of the user base too
Demon of the Fall 03.22.26	Sorry, I think my point was that naming the most popular music in a certain genre / field / whatever across the internet isn’t ‘Sputcore’ to me. Some of these artists were all over the internet and even made their way into wider consciousness My definition is different. It’s what is / was unique to Sput. All those artists certainly qualify under ‘most discussed’ tho, for sure.
Emim 03.22.26	I think there's a bit of both in sputcore. Definitely some bands/albums that are disproportionately represented on here, but also some that are just essential to the community's DNA, regardless of their reception at large. I mean Converge, Opeth, Thrice, etc are all very well respected outside of this site.
Emim 03.22.26	Burial - Untrue Can't believe I didn't mention Emery. That album was huge here for a bit mainly due to shitposting and Daveyboy's relentless appreciation for it.
Demon of the Fall 03.22.26	I will concede where bands like Converge and Neurosis (to use current examples) are concerned, because even though their popularity extends beyond Sput (and always has, by experience) I cannot deny it’s disproportionate lol
IsisScript80 03.22.26	'White Pony' by Deftones isn't Sputcore. The ongoing narrative that SNW is THE Deftones #1 album--an opinion I've seen expressed repeatedly on these boards throughout the years, and nowhere else--IS Sputcore to a tee. Seen similar Sput-centric campaigns for AWLWLB opposed to 'Jane Doe' for Converge.
Dedes 03.22.26	Gospel-The Moon is a Dead World
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	For the purposes of this list, I mostly chose my favorites or the undisputed Sput classics. I’m also w Mimsy saying that outside reputation can still contribute to their “sputcoreisms”. As with anything, the definition is constantly evolving
Veldin 03.22.26	Definitely a Trophy Scars album needs to be on there. My friend who knew the band showed them to me in 2006 and by the time Darkness and Never Born came out, they were HUGE on Sputnik which I’ve always thought was really cool bc they’re unfortunately so underground and will probably remain there
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	I don't think I've ever listened to em
Emim 03.22.26	Darkness, Oh Hell is the one I remember. Pretty good
RVAHC13 03.22.26	@Dedes that’s a good one. I haven’t thought about that album in years, and to think this site motivated me to buy it on CD at one point
ShadowRemains 03.22.26	eisley - room noises for that review
Hyperion1001 03.22.26	if were talkin purely metal, back when i joined around 2010 the sputnik underground elitist metal tastemaker albums were: funebrarum - the sleep of morbid dreams worship - last tape/cd/vinyl before doomsday cruciamentum - convocation of crawling chaos arizmenda - within the vacuum of infinity insect warfare - world extermination peste noire - la sanie des siecles om - god is good dead congregation - graves of the archangels corrupted - se hace por los suenos asesinos probably forgetting some but i remember this albums being bumped/recommended a lot back in the day.
unclereich 03.22.26	how has no one mentioned kate bush yet? the hounds of love thread at one point in time was the most bumped on the site. same with rush- clockwork angels
Hyperion1001 03.22.26	all thanks to kill
ShadowRemains 03.22.26	kill and sonic being the ultimate drivers of those lol
unclereich 03.22.26	and ire
unclereich 03.22.26	ire was the fucking man
RVAHC13 03.22.26	Surprised nobody has mentioned Disintigration either
jrlikestodance 03.22.26	I need to 5 that Insect Warfare album
Cygnatti 03.23.26	Musk Ox - Woodfall was definitely sputcore way back when
EyesWideShut 03.23.26	Never listened to them but I remember lotta people like The Dear Hunter especially with that color album or w/e
EyesWideShut 03.23.26	Minus the Bear's Planet of Ice was another Sput hit
Futures 03.23.26	to me sputcore has never been only albums that are distinct to sput, although it can be that obviously. the term to me always meant bands or albums that are core to the userbase. sure radiohead, opeth, deftones, converge etc aren't unique to sput but when they release albums they are true events here and drive almost all of the discussion. for example i think rym is much more segregated in terms of listeners, partly just due to interface alone. here i think that people are much drawn to those big buzzy albums even if they don't like the genre. that is what pushed me to listen to a bunch of sput classics just to be involved in the discussion and kind of be a part of something. back in the day stuff like jane doe and skinny fists were on the front page daily and undoubtedly shaped many people's taste in music , including my own. seriously no clue where my taste would be if i didn't join here and check out the classics.
ShadowRemains 03.23.26	"ire was the fucking man" fucking ramy lol, wonder where he's at
unclereich 03.23.26	in vegas jamming hard still i hope m/
Emim 03.23.26	Surely you mean safetysynyster
Jmal00 03.23.26	Uhhh where’s the thrash?
CrisStyles 03.23.26	They may not necessarily be Sputcore, per say, but I just remember Dev had a period after he reviewed Untrue where some of his reviews basically guaranteed a lot of activity on the site, like James Blake's self-titled, NOISIA's Split the Atom, Oneirology from Cunninlynguists, Old Raves End from Swarms and Finest Hour from Submotion Orchestra. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. Feel like The '59 Sound, Boxer and Mean Everything to Nothing had their moments on here as well.
Emim 03.23.26	Yeah gaslight was huge here
brickhed 03.23.26	basically what i've gathered what sputcore is all of the artsy post/indie/folk stuff like on most music websites but with a heaping dose of metal and a sprinkle of electronic lemme know how off i am
ShadowRemains 03.23.26	man i haven't listened to submotion orchestra in forever, i should change that
unclereich 03.23.26	A lot of these albums I’ve rarely seen bumped or discussed they’re just highly rated both in amount of ratings and user score. To me sputcore are albums that this community at some point could not quit as evidenced by its respective review’s page count or one that constantly gets recommended when people are asking for recs. I think it could be even further narrowed down to albums like worship & tribute and state faults’ clairvoyant as those two found more traction here than any other music site.
YuriZakhaev 03.23.26	Converge and Ulcerate are def the two biggest Sputcore bands that come to mind for me. Love Converge, and Ulcerate didn't really click with me. Maybe one day.
RVAHC13 03.23.26	A lot of sputcore to me is a time and place. Many people who were here when To Be Kind or Sunbather were smeared all over the front page aren’t anymore, but to me they’re still iconic for that period of the site’s history. “A lot of these albums I’ve rarely seen bumped or discussed” In fairness in the site’s current state a lot of albums don’t get bumped or discussed lol.
RVAHC13 03.23.26	Also trends change and the site still reflects that even with our limited userbase. 15 years ago saying you liked nu metal would see you tarred and feathered by a portion of the community but now nu metal albums get bumped regularly. Every so often though, an album comes along that commences a site-wide circle jerk like that last Converge album and I am instantly reminded what an actual Sputnik band is
IsisScript80 03.23.26	I tend to think that THE defining aspect of "Sputcore" specifically, is when a particular artist, album, or a random part of an artist's discography is prominently held up and lauded here, contrary to the prevailing trend or idea, outside of this site. In this instance, saying something like Converge or Joy Division is Sputcore, I believe isn't it... as those bands are seen as pioneering and respected FAAARRR beyond this site's reach and scope. However, as I previously pointed out, a user having 'All We Love We Leave Behind' as their no. 1 album (seen here SOOoo many times on lists/commments) IS Sputcore, because it's a popular opinion HERE, but not elsewhere, where Jane (rightfully, IMO) is still seen as their defining statement. That, and numerous other examples peppered throughout the years, I believe define this quirky phenomenon.
unclereich 03.23.26	That was kind of my point bringing up glassjaw. I was kind of shocked the first time I checked rym and discovered gj is far and away more popular here. One of the big reasons I joined the site was due to my enjoyment of shitty post hardcore like escape the fate and Greeley estates and wouldn’t you know it even those bands were being discussed way more here than anywhere else at the time barring maybe MySpace or the band’s own forums(escape the fate had a devout forum until about 2010 or so). I’d go so far as to say Sputnik was the number one source for both shitty and elite post hardcore band discourse in the mid 2000s
jrlikestodance 03.23.26	I definitely wouldn't be into Glassjaw if it wasn't for this site. I also 100% agree with RVA's last comment. Sure we may not be the sole reason these band's are popular, but with a band like Converge, we are guaranteed a seat at the table when it comes to its discourse. Also agree with reich on his point about myspace post hc. Futures, Get Low, myself and a few others have kept the discussion around myspace deathcore alive and well. Can always count on them to bump forgotten classics of the genre
Sweetstack 03.25.26	autechre is not sputcore their best release still only has 2 ratings
jrlikestodance 03.25.26	I needed some electronic representation and they are always being bumped!!! It's also my unofficial mission to spread the word on more heady stuff
Jebull 03.26.26	I thought of anotha >>> Cynic - Traced in Air
CrisStyles 03.26.26	In the indie/folk sphere I would say Grandfather from Tigers on Trains and The Dark, Dark Bright from There Will Be Fireworks would qualify as Sputcore, even if they're not talked about as much now
Scoot 03.26.26	needs more blindead
Storm In A Teacup 03.26.26	Needs more hopesfall.
thebokononist 03.27.26	The Midnight Organ Fight by Frightened Rabbit, perhaps? They might be on the cusp though...
Cygnatti 03.28.26	I never really noticed how hard sput went for swancore shite.
Calc 03.28.26	list needs run the jewels and/or El-P
ShadowRemains 03.28.26	run the jewels is on there (65) emery definitely belongs in this, the ...in shallow seas we sail thread was a massive (and at times infamous) meme on here
Calc 03.28.26	ope my b gotta think of something else non-guitar related
budgie 03.28.26	i see a lot of french folk bands like gilles servat bumped here should prob add a gilles servat album
Futures 03.28.26	more like butttcore LMAO
RVAHC13 03.28.26	More like Buttdick Spewshit
Calc 03.28.26	aight I failed on the non-guitar requirement but thank you scientist was defintely sputcore.
Confessed2005 03.28.26	Opeth? How can you forget Opeth...
Calc 03.28.26	opeth is #6
Confessed2005 03.28.26	Oh - embarrassing lol my bad!
jrlikestodance 03.28.26	I can add 6 more albums to this. Liking how this has come out
IsisScript80 03.28.26	Again though, the new Neurosis is (deservedly) receiving universal critical acclaim... not just here. If we held up something like 'Fires Within Fires' as their best, THAT would be legit Sputcore. This is just listing good albums at this point.
jrlikestodance 03.28.26	I mean I think based on the comments of this list, Sputcore can have multiple meanings based on what it means to different users. There doesn't seem to be a universally agreed definition. Also an acclaimed album can contribute to the community/evolution of a site
IsisScript80 03.28.26	^ Lol, not having clearly defined terms on a featured list is a really hard kick in the 'tism, for me. But all good... :)
jrlikestodance 03.28.26	Its all love!
Valzentia 04.04.26	y'all forgot black veil brides
