I'm trying to learn to listen more consciously to albums and not just individual songs that get recommended by the Spotify algorithm. Unfortunately, I'm at a point where I struggle with appreciating good music as I'm mainly used to just use it as background noise.

Can anyone recommend good channels that dive deeper into songs and talk about the individual instruments? I'm also interested in artist showcases that explain what it took to create the song, their inspiration and reasoning behind it.

I think I just want to be able to appreciate music more and be able to understand whats going on.

My favorite genres are Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, and Rock and Roll type of things.

I've been watching a bunch of

and found it really interesting.

Any input is greatly appreciated :)

Polyphonic does a fantastic job doing deep dives from the cultural side of things: https://youtube.com/@polyphonic

12tone is more of a nuts and bolts approach: https://youtube.com/@12tone

Both channels are excellent, and also on Nebula.
