Just keep listening.

Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap is an amazing look into (somewhat Canadian-focused) classic rock, 60's, 70s, with amazing anecdotes about how it connects with the biggest namns of the last 65 years. Truly awesome radio show. https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/2-4294-randy-bachmans-v...

For current music (yes, even pop) I HIGHLY recommend Benji B on BBC Radio 1. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00v4tv3/episodes/player He has been doing yearly "Best Of" mixes for over 10 years, and if you want to contextualize what's been going on in the last decade-plus of everything club/underground, rap, techno and pop, they're required listening. Whatever bias you have about current music, I promise there's something for you in his programming. Easily one of the best radio DJs in the world.

Second mention is Gilles Peterson, more jazz/world focused than Benji but they crossover numerously, and his programming is just stellar. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01fm4ss/episodes/player

Lastly, I'd recommend Pete Tongs "Essential Mix" if you find an artist/DJ that you appreciate, its essentially masterclass mixes on their most inspiring work and adjacent music.

Enjoy
