Forget Me, Not: Spotify's Trove of Unlistened Tracks Brought to Surface on New App Forgotify

Ahh, the Spotify splendor of millions of titles at your fingertips. A treasure trove of classics--ranging from yardbird Charlie Parker to the grand hip-hop of A Tribe Called Quest to Metallica and Lang Lang--Spotify remains a vast ocean of unexplored wonder.

Indeed, there are places on the player that no one has ventured. Titles have gone without listen and bands and artists alike don't get to reap that one-cent/per-play deal.

In an effort to keep listeners abreast of the myriad songs aching for new ears, a new project called Forgotify aids in your quest for new and unchartered music.

20 percent of the music on Spotify that hasn't received any love falls into the unknowable catalog--that is, four million (4,000,000) songs!

Now, we aren't talking about lesser-known tracks from the artistic elite. This squadron of "esoterica" includes obscure Mozart recordings, '80s German rockabilly and forgotten solo endeavors from variously dissolved punk bands.

So, without further tarry, go to Forgotify and see what hidden gems you can unearth from the e-record bins.
