Its nice to uncover a hidden gem, and my tastes have always skewed towards the obscure. In Spotify's defence- they are actually really good at digging up old, unknown stuff that I really like. (I say all this as an ex-professional musician who spent far too much time flicking through vinyl in second hand record stores in his youth.) Its not as if 80% of the music on Spotify is offensively terrible, its just that its not good enough to buy, and therefore it should come as no surprise that 80% of artists make less than £200 a year.
