You could use the Spotify API to autogenerate your own playlists and upload them to your library, bypassing Spotify's own recommendations. There are a couple of services out there that connect to Spotify this way. Usually I start with such a playlist then branch out into the album containing a song if I like what I hear.

I also have a personal list of hundreds of albums I want to hear. If I don't feel like anything in specific I pick one at random since Spotify usually has it. Having such a list, I don't see the appeal in listening to Spotify's curated playlists.
