YouTube Recommended Gems
Because I look at a lot of music on YouTube to add to my D&D playlists, I get a lot of music recommended to me. Some of these videos are bangers, some not so much. This list contains the bangers, but not all are necessarily "D&D" music.
The rules of the "YouTube Recommended Gems" list is that the music has to be randomly recommended to me, the video should generally have a low amount of views (around 100k views or less, but sometimes more if a song goes crazy enough), and I can't have heard the song before or be familiar with the artist.
The videos will be presented by the month and year I found them, and also list the views the video was at when I first found it in my recommended videos.

November 2024
Select Area
chill ass music, never played the game tho
Look Your Back!
the whole album "Flying Beagle" goes hard
August 2024
Starship Syncopation
funky. the rest of the album is pretty good too
June 2023
In The Basement
insane for a 500 view video. the vibe of the music is pretty cool, haven't really heard anything like it before.
update dec 1st, 2024: video got removed, so I re uploaded it.
April 2022
Drip Eater Midir
crazy, kind of a joke pick, but kinda goes hard. For a random YouTube recommended video with less than 50k views, it's good.
December 2021
Oh! Tengo Suerte
video so good I decided to start keeping a list of all the good music youtube recommends.
Masayoshi Takanaka is kinda the goat, he doesn't miss (and he has like a million songs). I could do a whole list of just Masayoshi Takanaka songs.
