H Hobbit Audioholic Chief Nov 26, 2012 783 0 28 May 25, 2018 #161 I'm a big internet radio fan because you can find stations that play a lot of off the beaten trail music, or play deeper tracks that you don't normally hear.. Personally I found Pandora to be weak. Spotify is a little better, but still very mainstream. JazzRadio is pretty good for Jazz. For more rock/fusion/prog I like Fusion101 and Delicious Agony. Both these stations play a lot, I mean a LOT, of music I never heard of. Fusion101 tends to lean towards fusion/instrumental rock and Delicious Agony is more prog, with only an occasional mainstream prog song thrown in. Both stations may, for instance, throw in FZ's Penguins in Bondage for example. Audiophile Jazz Rock is pretty good too. For blues, I like Audiophile Rock Blues, they were playing some great Tommy Casto live stuff last night. Also JazzRadio does some good blues. For classical, which I like Baroque, I usually just stick with Pandora or Spotify. Reactions: Teetertotter?

Johnny2Bad Audioholic Chief Jan 16, 2010 813 0 43 May 25, 2018 #162 I use SiriusXM for that, also some ROKU apps that do music, and we have a good local Community Owned FM radio station that does a great job of playing non-top 40 stuff. CBC radio also has a few programs that are good, but they are few in number, Friday and Saturday nights are about it. Plus the local libraries (main and 10 branches) have CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays to loan out (2 weeks CDs, 1 week everything else) so you can just grab a dozen and have a listen. Main has tens of thousands of titles, maybe even hundreds; the selection is way bigger than any music store (one half floor of a city-block wide building),a branch will have a couple thousand. LPs too, if you have a vinyl rig, main branch only. Finding new music isn't a problem I've ever had; finding time to listen to it all has always been my problem. Last edited: May 25, 2018

Do you actually go into a record store (remember those?) and flip through the discs? Click to expand... Spotify - "Fresh finds playlist" --- Found some gems on there but for the most part I skip though most of it.

Johnny2Bad Audioholic Chief Jan 16, 2010 813 0 43 Jul 3, 2018 #165 Another route I find useful is movies (and back to the Library from my previous post, yes, they have a massive DVD and Blu-Ray collection to borrow as well), where you can hit the pause button when the credits roll and get the low-down on tracks you've heard in the film, or in a recent example, an entire album made exclusively for the movie. That most recent example ... I watched the movie Thief* a week or two ago, and noted the entire soundtrack was by Tangerine Dream. I know of the German band, whose music I found underwhelming as album artists. Lo and Behold, they have dozens of tracks used in movies and a few full scores. Apparently movie directors saw something in the band I didn't back in the day. The Thief Soundtrack is a bit of a egg hunt to track down (the movie was released in 1981) but I'm on it now. Who Knew? Which I think is the point of this thread. * https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083190/ Sorry for the typos (missing spaces at ... well),where ... ) but try as I might, I can't seem to get edits to stick.

killdozzer Audioholic Samurai Feb 5, 2014 2,419 0 83 Oct 30, 2020 #170 I find most of new bands I like on NME radio They stream for free: NME Home - Music, Film, TV, Gaming & Pop Culture News NME brings you the latest music and pop culture news and reviews, along with videos and galleries, band features, concert tickets, magazine, radio and more. radio.nme.com I doubt many of you like this sort of music, but there it is so make your own opinions. I complete NME with snooping around several music magazines' top lists; pitchfork, rollingstone, guardian, vulture, billboard... I take advise from people here. I'll never forget Vanska recommendation from @TLS Guy and some other classical (TLS recommended IMO the best Beethoven's renditions). I take a lot of reccomendations on all music from editors' choices. I often ask my friends for specific recommendations, ie. tell me your favorite female vocal or acoustic guitarists and so on and then I go exploring those.

Joe B Audioholic Chief Sep 4, 2016 912 0 63 Astral Plane 7-B Jan 20, 2021 #174 Being into classical music for about 99% of my listening, I find visiting prestomusic.com (located in the UK) once a week to be very informative. They review new releases each week and have listening samples for the discs/downloads they sell. They currently have 77,318 different classical CD's for sale, and their search engine has many filters to narrow any searches you do on their site. A really good resource; their service is outstanding, though a little slow because of the pandemic. The shipping department does a great job. I've yet to receive a disc with a damaged jewel case.

sholling Audioholic Ninja Jun 7, 2006 4,064 0 113 Oct 2, 2022 #180 I depend on YouTube, on both their recommendations and a couple of their many "vocal coach reacts" channels. For example their 'Recommendations' is where I first learned about VoicePlay and their awesome bass singer's (Geoff Castellucci) solo work. It's also where I first heard Pentatonix, Postmodern Jukebox and their rotating roster of steller artists such as Morgan James and Haley Reinhart. And let's not forget the Harp Twins, and Sershen and Zaritskaya, Lucy Thomas and her amazing duet with her little sister Martha, and Joss Stone, and dozens of others.
