Is there a way to get recommendations for "underrated" songs, or music that is awesome but I might not come across? For instance, I really loved the Peacemaker soundtrack... (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

...but how would I have been exposed to that music without the show?

How would I find music that I'll possibly love, but I won't be exposed to?

Doesn't have to be rock at all.

I use Pandora a lot. Often I'll go to YouTube to watch the video.

So I put in a station on Pandora and when I hear a song I really like (or several I like from one artist) I put that artist in as a station on Pandora. Lather, rinse, repeat. I'll usually find a bunch of new stuff I haven't heard before and I'm pretty sure many of them are from little known artists because when I put their songs into YouTube, I notice they frequently have few views. Ex. Jem. Hope this isn't too obvious.
