Sorry if this has been mentioned before, search didn't find it.

It's actually quite accurate, I reckon, but goes a bit mental occasionally (try Therapy?).....

So who should you like?

Royal Trux gets me, uh Porno for Pyros and Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees...? wtf?

― Shakey Mo collier, Thursday, 21 July 2005 22:35 (twenty years ago)

Type in Kayne West. freaky shit.

― Horrid Monsta (That One Guy), Thursday, 21 July 2005 22:37 (twenty years ago)

this site is worthless. the Louvin Bros = Eurythmics and Tom Jones?!?

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 21 July 2005 22:38 (twenty years ago)

If you like Milli Vanilli you'll like Slayer and Stars of the Lid. Makes perfect sense. Erhm...

― Gerard (Gerard), Thursday, 21 July 2005 22:44 (twenty years ago)

If you like Missy Elliott you'll like Diamanda Galás and Serge Gainsbourg. (I do but that's not the point!)

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 21 July 2005 22:46 (twenty years ago)

Haha that Missy Elliot one is great!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 21 July 2005 22:47 (twenty years ago)

Sonic Boom is pretty accurate though ;-)
(makes me wonder which artist has the least names clinging on)

― Gerard (Gerard), Thursday, 21 July 2005 22:48 (twenty years ago)

so this is a joke, obviously...

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 21 July 2005 22:49 (twenty years ago)

Marc Almond is not even mentioned when liking Soft Cell!

"HEY YO! LEROY. THIS SITE IS FOR SUCKAS LIKE YOU."

Sho'nuff!

― Horrid Monsta (That One Guy), Thursday, 21 July 2005 22:53 (twenty years ago)

If you like the Foo Fighters, you like John Mayer???

I fucking HATE John Mayer.

― Aja (aja), Thursday, 21 July 2005 22:54 (twenty years ago)

The closest one to MBV is ... er, Fatima Mansions?????

― Si.C@rter (SiC@rter), Thursday, 21 July 2005 23:13 (twenty years ago)

this site is depressingly useless and addictive.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Thursday, 21 July 2005 23:42 (twenty years ago)

I'm not sure why when I type in Non I get the Shins and not because I don't like the shins.

― theodore fogelsanger (herbert hebert), Thursday, 21 July 2005 23:47 (twenty years ago)

Mission of Burma = Hot Hot Heat

OMG! This is bull crap!

― Aja (aja), Thursday, 21 July 2005 23:50 (twenty years ago)

It certainly has moments of lucidity, and then at other times.... well, I'm not sure about the Tindersticks - Einsturzende Neubaten - Japan triangle....

― Si.C@rter (SiC@rter), Thursday, 21 July 2005 23:54 (twenty years ago)

The Mobb Deep one is excellent. I actually think its fairly spot on with the moments of cross-genre pollination it throws up e.g. Mark Farina as a house dj that hip hop fans might like...

― Jacob (Jacob), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:08 (twenty years ago)

It's actually not very accurate. Sun Ra ==> Human League?

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:13 (twenty years ago)

I got some weird stuff from Willie Colon, also. I suspect this is better for rock than non-rock.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:13 (twenty years ago)

According to the site, Sun Ra and Willie Colon are the most recent searches. Apart from ILM regulars, doesn't look like too many visitors to the music map today.
And Wolf Parade doesn't register with its weird computer mind.

― BanjoMania (Brilhante), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:25 (twenty years ago)

Kitchens of Distinction -- Severed Heads, Talking Heads, and strangely Widespread Panic is in the far corner
Breathless -- Lowlife
The Pop Group -- Big Boys, Chrome, The Urinals, Cop Shoot Cop, Victim's Family, Charly Haden
Amy Rigby -- Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler
Wire -- Swans, Coil, Current 93, Throbbing Gristle, Nurse With Wound, Brighter Death Now
The Birthday Party -- Pere Ubu, Crime and the City Solution, Lydia Lunch, The Jesus Lizard, The Monomen, and I'm very amused to see Macy Gray in the far corner
The Durutti Column -- Swell Maps, Roger Eno, Mark Isham
Robert Wyatt -- Peter Hammill, Sun Ra, Eric Dolphy, Robert Fripp

― Kitten, the body needs it, the body cries out for Ian Riese-Moraine! (Eastern Ma, Friday, 22 July 2005 01:40 (twenty years ago)

Blondie brings up Anal Cunt and Will Smith!!!!

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Friday, 22 July 2005 01:45 (twenty years ago)

Reggaeton is not yet comprehensively mapped. Tego brings up three, and Daddy Yankee and Nick Jam are not yet added.

― burna (burna), Friday, 22 July 2005 02:01 (twenty years ago)

...you would think that with the nyt jumping on reggaeton's jock they might add some.

― burna (burna), Friday, 22 July 2005 02:02 (twenty years ago)

Blah. I put in Crunchy Black...nothing. DJ Screw...nothing. DJ Technics...nothing. Incantation gets Gluecifer and Army of Trees? Nonphixion doesn't show up? I will say that Gangsta Pat showing up in the Burzum tree was fucking hilarious though.

― Alan Conceicao (Alan Conceicao), Friday, 22 July 2005 02:09 (twenty years ago)

Ian, funny enough but I have a friend whose fave band is the Birthday party and he loves Macy Gray too, hes an interesting fellow to say the least.

― jmeister (jmeister), Friday, 22 July 2005 02:18 (twenty years ago)

it's reasonably accurate with most of the artists i like. i guess i already knew i'm just a stereotype though.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 July 2005 02:20 (twenty years ago)

Jefferson Starship --> Mountain (not at all) + Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players (yes, but where on EARTH did this inference come from?!) + Kim Wilson

Who's Kim Wilson? Do they mean the singer of the Fab T-Birds?

Bran Van 3000 --> Jean Leloup + Buena Vista Social Club (makes sense in its own twisted way)

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Friday, 22 July 2005 03:06 (twenty years ago)

who provides the info that it is based on? some bands that i consider kinda less-well-known have copious amounts of bands linked to them (e.g. howe gelb), while others that i consider fairly mainstream styles popular (e.g. fiery furnaces) have buggerall? i suppose this is further demonstration of my lack of knowledge of things musical, hmmmm.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 July 2005 03:16 (twenty years ago)

Try the Wedding Present.....!

― Si.c@rt3r, Friday, 22 July 2005 06:12 (twenty years ago)

"Saint Etienne" brings up "St. Etienne." You really can't argue with that.

― brittle-lemon (brittle-lemon), Friday, 22 July 2005 07:21 (twenty years ago)

Popol Vuh -----> Fish!

Ha ha!!

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 22 July 2005 08:44 (twenty years ago)

Butthole Surfers ---> Eek-A-Mouse and Ace of Base!

― Sweat Loaf (Sweat Loaf), Friday, 22 July 2005 09:01 (twenty years ago)

Genius!

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 22 July 2005 09:04 (twenty years ago)

eels ---> mansun, my vitriol
lcd soundsystem ----> iron and wine
???

― zeus, Friday, 22 July 2005 12:30 (twenty years ago)

stereolab ----> a diverse selection of artists, but not many of the ones you'd expect (Johnny Cash? Butthole Surfers? QOTSA???)

― zebedee (zebedee), Friday, 22 July 2005 12:41 (twenty years ago)

Bill Withers -> Bonnie Raitt, BTO, Bobby McFerrin

SPOT ON! AMAZING! And I loved the animation. Someone clearly spent all their Saturdays on this.

― Rob Uptight (Rob Uptight), Friday, 22 July 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

Burl Ives is closer than Blondie to the B-52's.

― Daniel Peterson (polkaholic), Friday, 22 July 2005 15:34 (twenty years ago)

If you like the Buzzcocks, you'll love Matmos!

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 22 July 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

xpost: "St Etienne" calls up "St. Etienne" but not "Saint Etienne."

― esque, Friday, 22 July 2005 21:56 (twenty years ago)

Roots Manuva fans love them some Lemonheads!

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 22 July 2005 22:09 (twenty years ago)

Eskaton brings up Magma, Hawkwind, Saetia, Anal Cunt, As the Sun Sets, Faust and Guru Guru

IT HAS ME PEGGED.

― OLD SPICE® CHEMTRAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ex machina), Friday, 22 July 2005 23:04 (twenty years ago)

The Darkness ---> Four Non Blondes and Eva Cassidy?

― Rick Massimo (Rick Massimo), Saturday, 23 July 2005 00:47 (twenty years ago)

Acid Mothers Temple yields To Roccoco Rot, Echo & the Bunnymen, and Elastica as closest neighbors. On what database could this possibly be based?

― John Bullabaugh (John Bullabaugh), Saturday, 23 July 2005 19:55 (twenty years ago)

Frijid Pink is not yet available.

― Frank Kogan (Frank Kogan), Sunday, 24 July 2005 03:36 (twenty years ago)

terence fixmer -> latex -> otm!

― fe zaffe (fezaffe), Sunday, 24 July 2005 15:38 (twenty years ago)

Disco Inferno is not yet available.

this site knows its stuff.

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Sunday, 24 July 2005 15:47 (twenty years ago)

IF YOU LIKE DISCO INFERNO IT IS DEEMED THAT YOU SHALL LIKE NO OTHER BAND

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Sunday, 24 July 2005 15:47 (twenty years ago)

one year passes...

If you like Shihad, you might like... JOHN MAYER?! Blech!
If you like Goldenhorse, you might like... Limp Bizkit?! WTF?!
If you like Magazine, you might like... Bach? >_>

― GLC (ZakAce), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 03:09 (nineteen years ago)

For Daniel Johnston, the closest is Wesley Willis. Then the Mountain Goats. If you go out to the edges, you can reach Natalie Merchant, New Kids on the Block and Frank Sinatra.

― Tape Store (Tape Store), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 03:20 (nineteen years ago)

It's interesting how Bela Bartok pops up as a reference when searching for Crowded House. I cannot see how they have a lot in common musically. :)

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 08:41 (nineteen years ago)

If you like Biz Markie you'll like the Yeah Yeah Yeah's apparently.

― Rowlando for the kidz (Sam Rowlands), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 10:05 (nineteen years ago)

What you're missing is that it is a self-adapting system, based probably on what people click in relation to what and certainly on http://www.gnoosic.com/tripex.php

― deekew (deekew), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 13:12 (nineteen years ago)

the site comes up with a comparison for WAY too many bands. of course some of them are going to be correct, but the majority are vague at best.

― Charlie Howard (the sphinx), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 13:17 (nineteen years ago)

Molly Hatchet (yuk)=====>Bananarama (yuk) and Merzbow (yum). ?
