I had a very similar thing happen to me as you did with Bowie (except it happened with “The Weight” by the Band). My bet is unless you have a library that is really diverse, it will always find some theoretical common thread that points any genius playlist to a core group of songs… at least until the algorithm gets a little smarter that is.
