Sometimes people have a hard time trying to pick certain artists to listen to during the fall season. Here are my top 3 picks for artists I think you should listen to this season.

1) The Cranberries

From their hit songs “Linger” to “Sunday” the cranberries are a popular option above most. Their band brings elements from The Smiths and combine a good amount of grunge to their music. Each song brings a perfect balance of melancholy and I always associate this band with rainy days, staying inside reading a book, or walking bundled in warm clothing and grabbing coffee in the cold mornings. My personal recommendation would have to be “When You’re Gone”.

2) The Smiths

This list wouldn’t be complete without The Smiths, a popular British band that inspired many artists. They are also mentioned in many movies and books. I love to listen to this band while I’m studying for schoolwork. Their most popular works are “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” and “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now”. But my personal favorite would be “I Know Its Over”.

3) The Sundays

This band has always had a fall vibe. They’re an extremely underrated band and perfect for cozy fall vibes. Some songs I recommend are “I Feel,” “Life Goes On,” and “You’re Not the Only One I Know.” These three songs are a must-listen if you’re hearing them for the first time.
