One I give a lot of kudos to is Radiohead, who deliberately released a 'mainstream' type album, got mega-famous, and then continued to release increasingly weird, visionary music never before heard. That's a hell of a tactic to cut through the noise.
But yeah this is why the new streaming services are so important. They do quite a good job building systems that intuitively direct you to what you want. But as long a we are all just going 'well I like this because It's Eminem, and this because its Taylor swift, and this because I heard it in the club that one time'... then we'll never discover anything.
Unfortunately we gotta put some genuine effort in I suppose nobody has time for in daily life
I suppose that you're referring to "Pablo Honey", yeah that's a mainstream album but also one of their bests, anyways I like when they do more experimental music. Radiohead is one of my favourite bands. 😄
You're right when you pointed out that people doesn't have time or don't care about searching good musicians, then we talk shit about nowadays music when the reality is that we are lost in the ocean. Must be really annoying to hear that for musicians I guess.
