Fort Collins, Colorado for me

Bozeman, MT for me, apparently because I listen to a fair bit of Jason Isbell and other new-ish alt-country and Americana. Despite the fact that none of my top 5 artists are alt country, the rest of my listening is apparently eclectic enough that nothing else really came close.

I would have thought that having 60-70% of my listening all in a small cluster of esoteric doom-metal-related subgenres would have placed me somewhere with some sort of a metal scene, but apparently not.

It's kind of interesting to see all the weird correlations Spotify has pulled out of thin air. Apparently Fort Collins listens to a lot of Sleep Token, Brandi Carlile, and Jacob Collier.

I was also placed in Fort Collins. Despite being your musical neighbor I don't know any these bands. Wild.

Out of curiosity what bands did it use for your example?

Also do yourself a favor and listen to Sleep Token and Jacob Collier.

Specifically:

For Sleep Token: https://youtu.be/uU5vVT_Cp7c?si=8BQSDhNCxGOAHjsr or https://youtu.be/44gbx5VEYPY?si=XNASMTOMohopmIhf

Jacob Collier: https://youtu.be/IQvzX0Z3HE4?si=s_C9g57JH69gaKYj and https://youtu.be/nspqYGz-Z1s?si=yleeBaKox1Cxm8yW

My top 5 were Walk the Moon, Dr. Dre, St. Lucia, Passion Pit, and Muse. I will check out your recommendations, always down for some new tunes. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Oh man Muse and Walk the Moon are some of my regulars. Haven't heard of St. Lucia or Passion Pit, I'll have to give those a listen.

I listen to a mix of classic rock, alt rock, blues and hip-hop and it gave me Bozeman as well.

[–] AA5B 1 points 7 months ago

That’s fairly close to me as well. Phew, I was worried I might like Country

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Same. Seems a weird choice, but ok Spotify

Fort Collins, CO also
