rateyourmusic. It has a recommendation algorithm that is definitely better than Spotify's* (it's tweakable too!), but the real ticket is reading the endless user generated reviews and lists. You can browse genres by top-rated albums, there are featured reviews from all kinds of genres on the front page, there's a featured list page or you can find lists albums were mentioned in on their album page then check out that list to see what users categorized it with. If you get bored, you can click on a user's review on an album you like and see what other albums they rated highly. Maybe you have similar interests and find your next favorite album.*Only issue I have with the recommendation algorithm is that once you rate an album it isn't removed from the recommendation list. Makes me doubt what the algorithm is actually taking into consideration when generating a list.
