What music do you love that's not on Spotify?

Worth reporting this. Through the website there is a link to report incorrect listings.

 

I just tried, but I can't get it to work. The instructions say you can get the correct URL by right-clicking the "share" option but there is no "share" option I can find.

 

This has been the hardest one for me. Generally, I use Spotify to preview music I'm considering buying. Not having Crimson up has made it hard for me to check them out.

Some of their studio stuff has appeared recently on YouTube, but it's spotty and I'd like to be able to listen to full albums.

 

Spotify is missing most of the stuff I listen to regularly. That's why I cancelled my subscription within a week of trying it out.

Granted, I like pretty obscure stuff, but I'm sure streaming will never work for me. Great for young people who don't already have a huge collection of stuff, though.

 

De La Soul -

•De La Soul is Dead
•Buhloone Mindstate
•Stakes is High

can only assume this is for copyright/unauthorised sampling issues

 

ECM have released their whole catalogue onto Spotify. beautiful!

gonna be heading down a few rabbit holes over the next few months..

 

Some prog not on Spotify:

Kayak (70's records)
National Health
Henry Cow (except a BBC session)

 

NEU! is back up on Spotify, at least in Scandinavia.

 

Michael McDonald’s “Sweet Freedom”!

 

Some Kate Bush albums missing on Spotify Canada - Sensual World, Red Shoes, Dreaming. Interested if they are on USA site and if not why would the Canadian rights be different than the US rights?

 

Kayak is on there, but none of their classic albums...just comps and live albums from what I see.

 

most indie music is not there.

 

Opal- "Early Recordings"

Don't think there's any opal

 

The Peanut Butter Conspiracy Is Spreading

 

FINALLY, The Cate Brothers’ “Union Man” (1976 original studio vers.) is on Spotify Now, if they would only get Tarney Spencer Band’s “Run For Your Life” album on there.

 

What music do I love that isn’t on Spotify? 3/4 of my jazz LP collection, or so it seems!

 

Comes to mind...

Elvis FTD releases
Half of Ty Segall's releases
Tool

 

The Funkadelic Warner Bros. catalog is available on cd on Priority Records but not on streaming services. George Clinton says he got the rights back and will be doing his own versions soon with bonus tracks and will make them available on various streaming serves..

Also Parliament's Invictus Records material is available on cd but not streaming services. Damn shame. More people need to hear the original Parliament version of "Red Hot Moma".

 

was just looking for Roger Daltrey "Free Me" and it's not there

 

Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica
James Mason - Rhythm of Life
Bob James - Two
Johnny Hammond - Gambler's Life
Brian Auger - A Better Land
Steve Kuhn - Steve Kuhn
Dr. Dre - The Chronic

 

Dave Clark 5

 

Is there a way to check if an album is missing from Tidal and Spotify altogether or simply restricted from your region?

Some other key albums missing from both services here in Colombia:

—Tony MacAlpine: Maximum Security
—Savatage: Handful of Rain
—Ozzy Osbourne: Down to Earth (this one is available on Spotify but not Tidal)
—Stratovarius: Visions

Lots of hard and progressive rock is missing from these services.

 

Stiff Little Fingers' early albums, their classic first four though Go For It. They just have All The Best and some later stuff.
Radio Birdman's Radios Appear (Overseas Version) - they just have The Essential Radio Birdman for some of that material.
Some of Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series are not on there.
There's probably others I've yet to notice...

 

That is good, but I do prefer the Funkadelic 1974 version. Still, the lack of general availability of Funkadelic and Parliament is ridiculous. I've only ever seen Mothership Connection, a used copy of Maggot Brain (who returns Maggot Brain!@?!) and ...Shake the Gate in normal CD stores (FYE, Barnes and Noble etc.)

This is especially true considering the amount of other, much more obscure titles they do carry.

Apart from PFunk, mostly I listen to unofficial recordings of Grateful Dead concerts, so I don't see having a need for Spotify anytime soon.

 

No Jay-Z for obvious reasons.
