Your method for discovering great music.
I'm in a slump. It has been a while since I've discovered new music that I really like. And when I say "new" I mean new to me. Maybe even rediscovered would count as new.
I do not have a method. I usually stumble into new music that I like. I also don't have loads of hours to sort through tons of stuff I don't like. Plus I find that random sort of pursuit to be frustrating and unrewarding most of the time.
Amazon Music had half decent 'recommended for you' lists but I don't recall if that ever paid off. I use Qobuz now which sucks in that particular department.
I've found a few bands that I like from recommendations here at Audiogon but I have not been here much lately.
So I'm curious as to how some of you approach that search for great music that is either actually new, new to you or rediscovered.
Finding new music is a journey. I find myself trying the music used in equipment reviews doing internet searches for the best "music type" and I even find music used it movies and TV shows.

Now with streaming, it is amazing…. Other albums by artists I love, newly released albums by genera… I choose the genera I am in the mood for… Jazz, world, electronic, Blues, rock… etc. Then, like in Qobuz… Qobuz favorites, most listened to. It is endless. You really want to blow your mind go to Internet radio stations… Bosnian Jazz, Swedish reggae… there are thousands of internet radio stations |
