It also feels like these things are making me more musically illiterate.

You see enough Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Imaginal Discs and the twenty yearly Trhä albums as super highly praised and something every music nerd should listen to, and forget what kind of music most people actually like... which if you go by the spotify charts, is a lot of slop! And if you go by the radio, it's mostly the same stuff since 1995.

My current system is to allow myself to get influenced by my partner who is a long time member of a pop forum which is based on a common love of Kylie Minogue and Tori Amos, a retired English dude in a football forum that I visit whose special interest is East Asian but mostly Japanese pop/rock/metal/punk (kind of funny to find this, this or this sandwiched between Led Zeppelin and The Moments in the music thread), going through a phase of searching out stuff on my own every now and then and whatever I happen to passively hear driving around listening to the radio while working.

Kind of gave up on the algorithms. I have my very large playlist that I should probably try to organise a bit.
