This post was originally going to be titled “How does music discovery on Apple Music compare to Spotify these days?” but I want to make it more broad.

All advice and ideas appreciated!

Another question: what’s your strategy when approaching a new band that catches your attention?

Listen to most popular? Pick an album and ride?

I just had the though that picking from an artists 1st - 3rd album might be a good alternative to looking at whatever is most recent.

I check Wikipedia or wherever first, not for reviews but just to get a sense of when they were most active or just to get a full discography. Sometimes I notice Spotify just straight up doesn't have some bands oldest stuff, so it helps me figure out where I want to start
