That the algorithm. It thinks that you will like that kind of music, so you see that ad and get fed that music. No different than any other kind of ad you might see. They have a lot of data on what your habits and tastes are and they try to get stuff to you that you like so they can keep you listening and happy.
They do not more money for certain songs. They do pay artists a little bit more if a subscriber listens as opposed to a free account.
Payola is still illegal.
This proves my point. The algorithm feeds him music that is structurally and sonically similar to what he listens to but since it's not familiar, it's obviously garbage.

No, that's not what I was saying.
Spotify occasionally tries to feed me something that sounds NOTHING like what I was listening to. Often, but not always, advertisements precede this "attempt."

If what it fed me was SIMILar, I'd LIKE IT
-
If it's played on the radio I don't listen. I lusten to deep cuts and new releases.
Lately I'm digging southern far more than snything else.

Modern music is a VAST amount of music. Why would you care about a pop chart?
The kind of stuff you might like will never be on s chart like that.
I'm not going to recommend anything because I have my tastes are different than yours. If you want to find what you like, I'd start listening to Spotify and playing songs you already like and skipping ones you don't like. Then it will present stuff in a similar style and you might find other stuff you like.
But if you're just trying to be a dick and say that there's no good music and are not really interested in any new music, then no one can help you.
People get older and they like what they like, I guess. But there's lots of stuff I like that's new.

Picture some 80 year old guy in 1972 asking you why he can't find the shit he likes on the billboard top 100. There were still bands playing old music all over the place, but you never were gong to here it on a radio station.
Today is different. EVERYTHING is out there and you can listen to it.

I'll give you one.

Well... You've told us already that you're really not a music fan. It's not for everyone, it's OK. I think a possible majority of people just think of music as organized pleasant noise. And what's better than familiar organized pleasant noise?
I may not have been clear. I love listening to music, I just have no talent for making or playing it and as such I have no interest in that end of it.

Here's a fairly modern song I like

Modern music is a VAST amount of music. Why would you care about a pop chart?
Because all the stuff I liked in my younger days usually appeared on the Billboard top chart? You can go back and look at the late '60s and early '70s top lists and there's lots of good rock on those. So....I figured that might still be true?
I'd start listening to Spotify and playing songs you already like and skipping ones you don't like. Then it will present stuff in a similar style and you might find other stuff you like.
I have Spotify. I think I have their algorithm completely confused. My playlist has everything on i (well...not Jazz). Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson, Yardbirds, Steppenwolf, Stones, a few Beatles, Bob Wills, Earnest Tubb, Hank Williams and Jr, Aretha Franklin, Martha and the Vandelas, Drifters.....it's a pretty varied list. The things Spotify suggests are usually of no interest.
But if you're just trying to be a dick and say that there's no good music and are not really interested in any new music, then no one can help you.
Exactly wrong. I asked and am asking people for examples of up tempo, driving rock type music that THEY consider "good" and is au courant. I have that stuff from my youth. I'm asking is there's any current bands doing similar now. Sluggo gave 2 examples; one of those I thought was decent.

My experience in that area is similar to Toad's, except that the main difference I noticed between Pandora and Spotify is that Pandora was capable of pointing me to groups like Elephant Revival, whereas Spotify would just send me to something that had absolutely no resemblance to the artist I started the station for. (Which was Gillian Welch)
