it could take forever for areal person to hit some of the smaller bands and match them up, we should have the technology to really help fans find new music easy now days but it feels like it's misdirected
Qobuz is quite good for discovery too. I like hearing a good album then checking out the record label because usually indie labels sign similar artists.
Every decade, up to and including the one currently in progress, has tons of fantastic music being made by creative, innovative artists. I enjoy the music that I used to love in the 1970’s every bit as much as I love that new album just dropped this week from some guy who was a fetus when I was in grad school. I will always encourage my fellow fogey-asses to find something brand new to add to their playlists.
If there's a service that can actually distinguish between the different types of metal, please point me to it!
Trying to get a stream of symphonic metal will always do one of two things: "Here, have the entire library of these three bands!" or "Oh you like metal? Here's the most gutteral death metal we could find! BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
For me its following the top 10 most downloaded albums of the day, week, month from private torrent trackers! They normally know whats up. I tried spotify years ago and was very hit or miss on what it threw at me and didnt care for it. It almost felt like some of the suggestions were there for reasons other than it's good and that annoyed me.
Thank you for the song. I was following Interpol in the early 2000s. I remember thinking I was still cool. I greatly appreciate this song and I hope they are still at it. This instrumental is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you!

50% Sonny. He didn't leave Cher for a tree until much later in his career.

Also, very heavily influenced by corporate interests, money, and disco towards the end.

I'd take ai suggestions if they actually read the music and based it off of that and not same vague genres and other people's playlists

Pandora did that manually, great for its time but hard to sell to people who just want on demand nowadays.

Thoughtful, crystal clear clarity. A song that begs you to go along for the ride and takes you to satisfaction.

Perhaps a brand new top 500 of the 70s might be constructed by a new generation with the patience to explore.
