Musical Taste: Song Recommendations
Description
My feeling is that while people might often say “The Beach Boys are really amazing”, this doesn't really help someone faced with the mountain of material they recorded. It’s common sense that not all of this is likely to appeal to any one person. Therefore it's much more helpful to say to that person “Well, for a start, ’Til I Die is INCREDIBLE!.
Of course, not everyone consumes music on a track-by-track basis, and this site will probably be less interesting for those who think only in terms of “good albums”. But for the rest of us (and in the days of online music, getting hold of original songs away from their original context is becoming more and more common), it’s quite helpful to have someone explicitly explain why particular songs are so special or interesting to them.
So the site is a user-driven community with a focus on individual track recommendations. There are no restrictions on what can be recommended and there’s deliberately no spot to enter a genre. Why? Because I think genres are stupid and just get in the way of people listening to music. Besides, the site is interlinked in such a way that genres are superflous (see below). One thing the site does have is keywords. When recommending a track, users can specify some words or phrases to describe the mood of the track. Clicking on that word in the recommendation launches a search for any mention of the same word. Like this.
