Rate your music so peak. It’s great to see a website that makes discovering new music so easy without the need for damn algorithms, just user generated lists and profiles and a friendly interface, you end up finding new stuff by clicking around and being curious and the whole process feels a lot more involved in a fun way, like you are actually discovering music not getting recommendations shoved in your face.
It’s got a fair share of annoying people but I guess that's a side effect of having a variety of opinions, which is cool. This list is cool, also, def bookmarking a few of these ¡Great stuff!
