I have succumbed to the lure of Spotify mainly as a tool for exploring new music before going on to buy what I like. For smaller artists the $0.0008 per play makes the business model unsustainable and unless they get millions of plays the only value to them is as "advertising" in the hope people will buy tickets, vinyl and CDs. (Any you can REALLY hear the difference, Spotify is convenience over quality).
I thought I may try creating and sharing a playlist and see what happens. Here is a list of what I would loosely describe as "Modern Prog" Some songs by my favorite bands of the past few years.
