For someone who listens to a lot of International rock/metal/post-rock etc I can say most of the names and even some obscure Norwegian/Australian bands are present. The ppl complaining probably are referring to local content(Bollywood/Marathi/Hindi/Tamil music). The recommendation engine is fabulous as always and the podcasts section has a pretty decent collection too

No, a lot of big names are missing. I will still use it as discovery is still miles ahead of any service.

For example they are missing names like Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Whitesnake, Fleetwood Mac etc.

In which region? I've had all of these all over my playlists for as long as I can remember... A decade?
I couldn’t find latest hip hop albums from Atlanta on Spotify. They’re on Apple Music tho.
Supposedly Apple Music has the largest catalog. But, catalog size doesn't matter if you can't find the song you want to hear.
I believe a lot of the legal issues with Sony/BMG and others need to be sorted out and I expect the catalogue to be at par with Apple Music soon
