People talk about the tyranny of genre, but I guarantee you none of these are granular enough to get the thing that I want if I want to hear more Alberti bass lines or I wanted to hear bright and shrill square wave leads. If only you could categorize by hand-labeled feature. Just list every music theory thing of note, from keys and tempi to tapping and bending to instruments used. Sadly a bit more involved than mTurk workers (is that still around) are usually called to do.

I strongly want to know what someone that would have experienced almost exhaustively all of the music universe, would qualify as the best songs (the criterion being potency on qualias). The closest I could find are the lists of Scaruffi which is a man that has for his life full time job since decades the goal of refining its list. https://www.scaruffi.com/ratings/10.html While there are some gems I feel like the results would be very different had they been generated contemporaneously by someone with a younger brain, for example I am in much bigger intersection with lukeprog or David Dean Burkhart.

There are websites like rateyourmusic.com but I still can't find a platform of recommendations made by passionated experts.

I love when I encounter these sites and learn a name for some subgenre or quality of music that I enjoy. I've never really cared to really get into discovering and/or researching songs I like, I just accrete them over time as I hear something that speaks to me. Apparently quite a lot of artists I like fall under "Big Beat".

/r/listentothis is good for finding different genres, and usually a good song from that category as well.

And /r/ifyoulikeblank for querying the hivemind for suggestions for other stuff that you might like.
