I've been using the custom chart function at https://rateyourmusic.com/ recently. It allows me to drill down to highly specific combinations of genres, influences and descriptors, such as "instrumental noise rock influenced by krautrock" or "noisy avant-prog influenced by post-punk". Back in the day I discovered a lot of new music from obscure internet radio stations. Recommendation algorithms however have never worked for me, they usually just recommend stuff I already know.
That level of specificity is exactly what I'm looking for!
+1 on using RYM. It's been perfect for custom charts, even filtering by year/decade.
Just stumbled upon this post. Thank you for this! Did a quick test of combinations and it gave me list of albums where three of the top five were in my favorites and the two others were totally new for me. Three tracks in I am loving the first one.
