    Best music discovery I’ve had was a thread on the something awful forums maybe 2 decades ago. People would post their favorites or ones they wanted similar artists to, and folks would chime in with suggestions. I discovered so much music in that thread, stuff that has become my core favorites. I learned about Chromeo in that thread (back when Needy Girl was new) and they have been in my top 5 or 10 ever since.

    I do enjoy the Apple Music suggestions, but finding new is so much slower and more hit or miss.

    There should be a site for community driven music suggestions similar to that old thread. Especially nowadays when so much is independent and obscure.4
