I will build something similar on my website ... IMO it only makes sense as an collaborative effort though, based on the input of all users.Smile

This idea is cool. I suppose we have to let the man expand and correct things, too
 
Caravan and VdGG is a weird association but so is Caravan and Can.Confused
 
Needs more time, but let's give the man a big hand.Clap

keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,

rather than un-sheath our sword

[2nd edit: also no Ashra / Ash Ra Tempel relation!!!!!! The site is fun, indeed!]

Okay, Led Zep gets no Tull, but it does get Genesis? It also gets King Crimson, which gets no Pink Floyd, but it does get Syd Barrett...who gets no Pink Floyd, but does get Roger Waters...who finally gets Pink Floyd, who, in turn, get King Crimson. Que?

Quite a weird map. Just looked up Steve Hackett, and the nearest two to him were Chopin and Anthony Phillips. So it looks like they got that right. But then looked up Genesis, and one of the closest to them was Joe Satriani!Confused
Strange, but interesting!LOL

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

Maybe it's based on Factor Analysis, and it's the plot of the first two factorial scores compared to the band you choose (or something like that....) but I think before something like that can give any reasonable results you need a lot of data (people's estimation of a number of aspects of the music of the bands) and clearly there's not enough of them...and then there's always another dimension, so bands who have really very little in common still look like scoring in the same place. Still it's fun...but not very accurate...

The idea is to discover new bands? I really don't care which bands they put near Genesis etc. But this site really kicks ass.
This is an electrified fairytale
