…but how would I have been exposed to that music without the show?

How would I find music that I’ll possibly love, but I won’t be exposed to?

Doesn’t have to be rock at all.

    I hate to say it but Pandora has been useful here, when it actually finds similar sounding bands rather than just bands from the same era.

    I found Tape Five by spinning out from Postmodern Jukebox, for one example.

      I love Pandora, specifically for the “radio” feature where you create a station based on a song or artist. You can even add diversity and throw in another artist or song, and it blends your choices together to make predictions. Then you thumb up and thumb down, and before you know it, every song is up your alley. I gave up Spotify years ago bc the radio function sucks and give Pandora my money instead

        I just don’t like to advertise. If I can promote a solution that doesn’t advance a particular oligarchy, that’s my preference.

        But when the tool works, I admit it.
