I don't know if this site has been put up here before, but I just discovered it and think it's pretty cool, even if the Backstreet Boys wound up the fourth closest band to Mor ve Otesi (the tastes of Turkish females Rolling Eyes )

http://www.music-map.com/

Go here, type in your favorite bands name and get a map of what other bands are close to it based on the tastes of other people who entered their faves and taken a short survey on musical tastes at:

Hmm. I just rechecked the link. It worked fine for me. It is possible that if you enter a band that isn't in the AI programs database, you'll get no result. That happened when I entered John Wesley Harding. The program doesn't/can't deal with knowledge it doesn't have. You'll have to go to the survey then and enter the group in order to get it into the database of the program, I guess.

Oh, so there is a way to input new musicians?

It didn't know any reggae bands I put in.

Right. Go to the second link and enter them. You will then take a brief survey, helping the program build it's knowledge base. I don't know how quickly your bands would make it onto the screen after that, but it's worth a shot.

Neat, thanks for posting. Sort of like Pandora but for people who'd rather speed up their new music searches and hunt down their own songs.
