Spotify really gets us.

When we want to listen to our favorite artists without buying their albums, it's there. When we want to make a quick road trip playlist, it's there. When we want some new music recommendations, it's -- err, well, it certainly tries.

Spotify's recommendations, available through its "Discover" page, read like texts from a timid friend desperately trying to get you to try new things. "If you like this, maybe, I dunno, maybe you'd like to try this other thing, too? Or maybe not. No pressure. We still on for Saturday?"

It's high-time for Spotify to get a bit more aggressive with its recommendations. We know our musical tastes are strange and you don't want to offend anyone, but come on, stop being so polite. Because we're here to help, we went ahead and created 10 perfect examples in the above gallery. Let's call this one "friends helping friends," and see where it takes us.
