I was thinking about this a week ago and it slipped my mind, until today, when it has gone back into my mind. I think every artist should have a Related Artists / Similar Artists section in the biography that links to other artists to which the viewer can go to, thus turning him on to new bands.

Related artists is somehting which has been started in the biographies, but it's a big task. Similar artists is a thornier subject, and could lead to some controversy!Shocked

In case of last.fm, it works, mostly. But they have active support of thousands of users. Well, maybe hundreds of thousands actually.

And of course, they have it hyperlinked, where everyone can edit and final decision is weighted based on TAGS. I suppose.

But in terms of PA, this way isn't possible, huh ? More like good, old handwork - new biographies mostly have it, talking about more thorough ones.
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

But I've only seen it in around 2 out of 100 bios I've been in and I believe that there just could be more hyper links, simple as that.
