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.

It takes maybe six months of skipping tracks

Lol, I look forward to good results by the end of the year? Maybe not the best algorithm after all.

I personally don't have one particular way of discovering new music. It's a mix of suggestions from different apps or friends. Shazam during movies and TV also helps guide some discoveries. Also just clicking through a rabbit hole of suggestions and marking stuff you like for future digging.

The algorithm will figure your rough taste out in a day.

But like most things in life, you'll find patience does amazing things
