One resource I use a lot that I didn't mention in my comment is https://rateyourmusic.com/. I find it's most helpful for finding the "canonical" albums & artists in a genre you're unfamiliar with. You can search by genre, influences, and year range, and its listings are generally very accurate. It also just has a culture of having more in depth and well written reviews, so if I'm looking at an album I've never heard of, I often get to read a review by someone who's been listening to it their entire lives. Much more helpful thoughts & opinions than someone whose job it is to review music (though I do enjoy reading some music critics blogs).
