It doesn't have to be limited to 10. One day I realized my music tastes were determined by random chance and I was just listening to more of the same. So I started seeking out critically acclaimed albums, and listening to them repeatedly until they "click". Some albums take longer to click than others, but they all click eventually. In some cases, I'll have to temporarily give up on a difficult album. Listen to a few dozen other albums and let them click. Then come back to the difficult album, and bang, "This is amazing! How could I be so blind!" It's like you have to level up your musical appreciation stat. I'll never, ever trust my playlist to some recommendation engine. If I'd done that instead of seeking out classics, I'd've missed so much amazing music!
