I’ve used both Apple Music and Spotify in recent years and while their discovery is okay, it always plays it safe. As if they’ve made a genre that is just for me and won’t play anything outside of that. How do I expand my music horizons?

    I’ve been using the 1001 Albums website. It’s definitely not foolproof since you won’t find anything extremely recent or niche but it forces you to listen to albums you wouldn’t normally choose and they are all generally pretty solid (or better). You can also use it in concert (so to speak) with friends so you can listen to the same album on the same day and discuss it together.

    It’s not a huge number, but I’ve put 5 albums into rotation just because of this website.
