I don't get it – I pushed the button "More" few times to get artists that I *should* love but the site still offers me some mainstream **** like Justin Bieber, Flo Rida or Pitbull... So I endend here.
@uxboy it's an early product. I think that they don't have too many artists live yet. Actually it seems this is a leaked product; one of their engineers posted it on his facebook page.
@_jacksmith@uxboy That would make a lot of sense. It's beautifully designed but brings 0 value as it is: I'm pretty sure "Jenny from the Block" isn't my go-to song of 2000, because I was alive back then and clearly remember it not being my cup of tea even then :p Still, eager to check back to it once it's completely operational, once again, the design is truly beautiful imo (one of Spotify's fortes and possibly sole reason I'm still a premium subscriber)
What I don't like is that I have to choose 3 artist. I use spotify from years, it should already know all my tastes according to what music I listen, and it should actually know it better than me.
Also I have no idea what artists to choose (and also why 3?!), there is also no way to enter the name, making me pressing "more" hundreds of times.

Except for some small nostalgia, I'm not sure I see any real value. Just tell everyone they would like Michael Jackson and Madonna in the 80's and hit 95% of audiences. It's the John "Crossing Over" Edwards of music predictive tools.
@walterareid I think something like this has incredible potential for people that weren't alive in those eras. It would then truly be a discovery tool, where you'd find "new" music that connects with you. Would be pretty awesome if it works for that crowd.

@someear@walterareid Obviously I can't talk to the future of the tool, I can only judge what exists today. Unfortunately, the results feel like a shotgun approach. Given the short list of potential artists, it might just be easier to ask the artist themselves who inspired them (from those same periods). Then you'd have an interesting personalized list, that I'd be interested in.

Does this even pull from your spotify history? It doesn't seem to, most suggested artists I wouldn't listen to (Justin Bieber..ugh.)
Initial selection is way too narrow and has nothing to do with my taste in music and the resulting playlists feel completely random.
Actually, it makes me more interested in what Apple will be doing with human curated playlists/Beats1.
Agree with most of the comments here so far that it's a solution in search of a problem. But hey, at least I got a couple of new playlists out of it.

@lylemckeany I'd argue it's more a Spotify problem than a listener problem, but the problem is: "how do we get users to engage with older tracks in our catalog that they may like but not know of?"

Love the design on this. And the clever use of copy on things like "A Richard Oakley CR-R" for the 00's.
