A couple of weeks ago, I re-fell in love with “Sorry You’re Not a Winner” by Enter Shikari:

My first exposure to this track was on the soundrack of EA’s NHL ‘08 which also has so many other ridiculously good songs on it (Tidal, Spotify).

I stumbled on this post on /r/PostHardcore asking for songs similar to “Sorry…”. Heck yeah wisdom of the crowds! Many of them I’m very familiar with, so I’m excited to hear the rest.

Thanks to modern developments in AI, it was trivial to extract the songs and add them to a playlist.
