Song tagging all wrong

[newgreyarea]

I’m having an issue where the tags/filtering for songs are all wrong. I use the “Liked Songs” playlist everyday. I’ve noticed than when I use the filtering options like “Classic Rock” the results are dodgy at best. For instance giving the above example you’d think that a ton of the David Bowie, Rolling Stones, CCR, Leonard Cohen, etc would pop up but it’s literally a handful of Stones tracks and literally one David Bowie track?!? How can we fix it so that the songs, albums etc are properly tagged to make use of the filtering? Otherwise it’s just useless words that we can touch on a screen that do nothing really.

I can’t be the only person that’s noticed the tagging to be way off! This seems like an excellent use of crowd sourcing data and making the algo learn a thing or two about a thing or two.
