DISCOGS: Music recommendations inspired by standout albums of 2022

What a turnoff. The title says it all, Discogs is only interested in appealing to one demographic.

But since it was posted on this forum, I clicked on it and found there are different genres and styles of music that may appeal to a much wider audience. Not bad, but so many people will pass on this based on the title page.

I got one of them from Discogs, too. I'll check out some of their recommendations. If I want Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, or Neil Young, I'll listen to Joni, Bob, or Neil, but personally, I want something contemporary today, not a rehash of yesterday. 

   I received the promo also, as I have an account at Discdogs. Yes we get plastered with marketing promos , but if we find something new we like it’s worth wading through the ones we don’t. Nothing is more enjoyable than finding new music that is personally appealing. Other sources for me are  recommendations from my adult children and creating a random playlist on Tidal based on an artist I already like. What’s funny is , most of the new music I discovered, were established artists that I overlooked. This week it’s Brandi Carlile , and she’s hardly new. Another great source are AGON members creating threads about one’s favorite performers in genres I lack knowledge, like jazz and classical. We live in the era of “ Click Bait “, and by having an open mind and a positive attitude I can ignore the BS and occasionally be rewarded with a new music morsel. Happy Hunting , Mike B.
