Looking up music on my phone, as one sometimes does, and was faintly amused by the results. I was looking for Grieg's Peer Gynt, and these were the suggested additional videos:
Mozart, Requiem in D
Holst, The Planets
Dvorak, New World Symphony
Tchaikovsky, 1812 Overture
Rimsky-Korsakov, Scheherezade
Though I don't know very much about classical music, I know enough to recognize this as an algorithm's equivalent of saying "you have so little taste here we will throw up only the most widely-known and pandering-to-audience options so as not to make you come out of your shell, Philistine."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
