Disagree. No idea if it's there now or not, I haven't checked in years but they had no Alien Sex Fiend, Damned or Jesus and Mary Chain. Oh and no Soft Cell either although that might have been because of a song called Sex Dwarf. This was formative stuff for me and I still listen to it pretty regularly.

Maybe its because you haven't checked in years, because most of those artists you listed are there. I'm not sure about Damned, did you mean The Damned? If so, every artist you claimed as missing is available.

  Things have indeed progressed. Thanks for going to the trouble.

In my case, it's very few songs I like that are not on Spotify. I remember Neil Young going away and then going back on Spotify . I simply didn't listen to his songs for some time because while I like his art, it wasn't worth the effort to download his songs or subscribe to his expensive higher quality music streaming service.

  Absolutely, and I don't pretend to believe that every single recording someone might want to listen to isn't covered by traditional music streaming services. However, it seems to me and many of my immediate peers like most people are pretty well serviced by services like Spotify. Even several of the musicians who comes in to play at a local pizzeria I frequent self publish on Spotify, and I'd probably only end up buying half of their CDs. ;)
