    <p>I'd say that's overly reductionist.  <br>
    </p>
    <p>What's the time in my life that reinforces "I'm gonna hit random
      on Spotify/Pandora/Whatever" and then for example, figuring out
      "Whoa, i never heard this Dolly Parton song before, it's really
      good!"  <br>
    </p>
    <p>What's weird here is that <i>I don't even like country!</i> 
      Well, not normally.  That Dolly song (Jolene) is like nothing I'd
      normally listen to.  30 years by that point of <b>hating</b>
      country and never hearing that song and then like, "Whoa, that's
      really good..."  <br>
    </p>
    <p>That's also how I found out about several Jazz musicians... Jazz
      in general is something I didn't get into until I was like, "You
      know what, I never did listen to Miles Davis."  <br>
    </p>
    <p>I've heard  nothing at all like Bitches Brew before or since, and
      Sun Ra, well, good luck finding comparisons there.  John Zorn
      maybe?  <br>
