How do you mateys and folks deal with the sheer amount of music available out there?
There's an ever-growing amount of music available today, a few taps (or clicks) away. I for one feel like there's a lot of great music in many genres and styles, coming from many countries, and in many languages. And there's always new, interesting stuff coming out regularly.
Whether a new release from an artist you like, or an old one you want to go back to, there are so many options to choose from at any given point in time. Yet we can only hear one at a time, so we must choose. So…
How do you choose what to listen to, and how do you keep up with everything you want to keep up with? Do you manage to listen to everything you want to on a regular basis? Do you instead choose to articially limit yourself to keep sane? Or is your music taste narrow enough this is of no worry?

I listen to music entirely based on what I already know and like, what I randomly stumble across, and what others recommend to me. Sometimes if I am at a bar and hear a song I like, I'll ask the bartender what it is. This sort of thing. I don't typically go searching and all the times I've tried it hasn't gone great.
Anyway I have recommendations. Here are some bands that have been recommended to me and stuck with me for atleast a year:
- Reagan Youth
- Motorama (>5 years ago)
- Dead Kennedys
- Kino
- Kneecap
- Rage against the Machine (>5 years ago)
