    1. Talk to other human beings about music.

    Music is not meant to be a solitary hobby. Share what you like, they’ll share what they like.

    1. Like a piece of music? Look up that producer, or record label if it’s small. Look up the session musicians. Don’t just look up the artist.

    Generally it’s not just the artist that makes the music top tier. There are other great professionals involved in the background and good people hire other good people to work in the background.

    This is easy. Once you start doing this you end up with a queue of albums you want to get round to listening to. It’s easy enough to find too much music yourself without an algorithm. You start finding the artist radio a waste of your time.

    The rabbit holes I’ve been down following a producer, guitarist, or bassist, etc. are usually very rewarding and often you pop up in another place you knew already after finding out about some lesser known great music on the way.
