Oh. I see what you mean.  I like the idea and I remember there was that sort of thing about two years ago in the archives, but it got deleted. In the band page there was a list of 20 albums that where similar to the band you where looking at. I remember that I discovered alot of bands that way so it's a very helpful tool.

Just look at Porcupine Tree's band page and many others like Van Der Graff Generator, Godspeed You...,  Mr. Bungle and many others.

Oh good, but I was also thinking not just bandmember projects, but about similar bands eg, ELP and Egg both heavy keyboard dominated

I thought of this myself. It would be much easier to find bands that you are sure to like then. Nice idea! Thumbs%20Up

I was thinking some music websites have on bands pages links to similar bands on their website, I was thinking we could do that here, for example Magma's page would have a link to Univers Zero, Art Zoyd and Eskaton pages on this website.   Roxy Music would have a link to Brian Eno(his earlier poppier albums) and Split Enz.
Genesis could have Marrillion, Ange, Happy the Man or whatever
ELP -Triumverant, Le Orme, Egg  etc

This could be a way for people to discover like minided bands etc. on the website.
I know that this may be a large undertaking so what I was thinking is that the writers of the band bios could add the links?
I mean ofcourse thew links in this website, and it might be a good way to explore more obscure groups  etc especially if they are listed in different categorys.Big%20smile
