Nice try

Edited by M@X

Am I correct in thinking someone requested this feature a while back, M@X? It rings a bell.

Anyway it's potentially quite interesting, but would it perhaps be better if it just listed bands(rather than a whole string of albums by the same band)?

How is the correlation made, exactly? Is it based on the number of people who gave ratings of the same, or a higher, star-rating to the different albums? The power of SQL never ceases to amaze me.

A minor point on the English used:

"Prog fans who likes JETHRO TULL Thick As A Brick also likes theses sames genre other bands albums:"

should be changed to something along the lines of:

"Prog fans who like JETHRO TULL Thick As A Brick also like these other bands' albums in the same genre:"

(or, if you were to change the feature to list just band names, something like this: "Prog fans who like JETHRO TULL Thick As A Brick also like these other bands in the same genre:")

 

So.... much.... pinkfloyd suggestions in.... spacerock section....

The idea is great, but i agree with fitzcarraldo, it would be better to list those bands that belong to that "sub genre", not the albums, it really pulls out the dynamic of the page, which is to search for yourself the albums that you want. It's better to have an idea of bands similar style. Also, in some way, this would be a kind of sell out of those albums that are truely great and important in prog history, this would be really diminishing the work of many many others whose music is not at the level, or simply wasn't released "at the time". Overall, list bands, not albums.

Another thing, it kind of interferes with the experience of the viewer, being the size of this feature kind of big and distracting at times when you just want to see the reviews of an album. You should think also in those whose connection is not that fast and the loading may turn kind of annoying.

Just an opinion, but good try! keep on the good work .

I like it, it seems to work, I checked some albums that I liked, and the  mentioned albums where indeed  albums I liked too.



BTW, what does beta mean

It's a nice idea, but the problem I have with it is the same some others have obviously as well. Somehow the suggestions do not fit all the times well. Sometimes there are bands and albums promoted which have nothing to do with the specific album. I don't know which criteria are being used for it, but at least within Art Rock subgenre it does not work well many times.

very good idea: it allows the listener to explore furthermore the genre. what is the algorythm?

You are right SEAN TRANE but the current BETA alogorithm search to get at this selection within the same genre.

 

If I do it for the WHOLE PROG SCENE it is less interesting ...

And it's always the same 3-4 albums (Foxtrot, Selling, The Lamb, In the court , Close to the edge ... )

So that's why I make it in the SAME GENRE..

Any suggestion exept that we could only list BAND NAME instead of albums...

 

Thanks...

I'm afraid there's a big mistake.

I reviewed Edge's album Suction 8 and one of the related albums is Antonius Rex (which I have also reviewed) which has absolutely nothing to do with Edge.

Please get Antonius Rex off Edge's page. This is completely false and I could even say damaging and insulting to Edge's music.
