I'm way too much of a control freak to let some Flex (or even the real Flex) tell me what to listen to, dag nabbit.

I’ve found that it helps to get a little more specialized in your search. Pulling up The Clash will get a lot of bizarre stuff thrown into the mix, but pull up Stiff Little Fingers and you get a far better mix (including a healthy dose of The Clap).
Yikes.
Ugh! Trying to type on my dinky iPad keyboard. I’ll leave that “error” in their because it is too funny to correct. :mrgreen:
Oh you got it right, I was just having a bit of editing fun. It's a pastime around here.

Whoa whoa whoa. Let's not start besmirching the good name of Third Eye Blind with baseless Nickelback comparisons.

I think Spotify is influenced in its selections for you by what you have previously downloaded or listened to.
For some reason it thinks I love Undertones and Housemartins as no matter what I listen to when it finishes it will play them. I like them but I am not that obsessive!!
I did replace Spotify with Pandora and it is better. There is apparently the ability to give a song a thumb’s up - so I wonder if that influences the playlist?

...on a side note...because I had the Stiff Little FIngers channel on...I got to jump in the air and play some MASSIVE air guitar when a live version of Alternative Ulster came on. I was in the middle of doing dishes and my kids thought I was both funny and insane...but come on...when that monster riff kicks in after the intro...how can you not jump in the air and pretend you’re Jake Burns!?
When you are already Jake Burns. ;)

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I love Spotify for reasons similar to Kory above. I find a lot of music through it via the Discover Weekly, Pitchfork's Best New Tracks, and the Release Radar. My only issue is Release Radar can be a little goofy because it takes whatever you've ever listened to and if that artists releases something new, they suggest it. I'll be honest, I don't want to hear any new Bones Thugs n Harmony or Warrant songs.

If it's Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich outtakes, count me in. If it's post Jani Lane, count me out.

As I've always said, no Jani, no Warrant.

Poor Jani Lane. I can think of a lot of bad places to go - but a Comfort Inn has to definitely be low on the list. Reminds of the Jason Isbell song where he sings about not wanting to die in a Super 8 Motel!

Yeah, except makeup less KISS had some hits and Jani-less Warrant was never remotely relevant.

Let's be honest here - was even Jani-full Warrant ever relevant?
