Is there a way to get recommendations for "underrated" songs, or music that is awesome but I might not come across? For instance, I really loved the Peacemaker soundtrack... (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

...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.

If you do find artists you like on Youtube (as in people who actually run their own channels) they might collaborate with other interesting artists too on some songs. That is a great way to find new artists.

Yep my wife loved the french band Deluxe's "Flowers", amazing track right enough

The algorithm started suggesting stuff by a guy called Chinese Man, very odd, not our usual stuff but strangely likeable

Turns out he's the producer for Deluxe. Listened to a couple of his tracks that are kind electronica, the algo suggests more electronica which we skipped most of, the algo figures out what style we liked in that niche (to us) category.

And that's just one example, I've discovered hundreds of bands because of it

As bad as Enshittification is, some bits of it are incredible
