This is fantastic, especially the next-level information it yields when you choose a specific genre.
why is noise-rock ala mission of burma snuggled in with the xtian rock and worship music?
Wow, this is great. At first I was having fun just playing around with it and checking out all the genres, but that was before I realized clicking on the little arrow by the genres brought out a whole list of artists within the genre. This is huge. Thanks for sharing this!
This was meant to be. It's interesting how it works... I noticed on youtube that you get recommendations based on what others like, too. Whenever I'd listen to Silver Apples, I'd always get links for The Velvet Underground. In the experimental section, they're right next to each other, to the same effect. Seeing how so many of my favorite artists sit near each other in the experimental and other such sections is weird. It's weird seeing that a pattern of behavior that I consider to be so sacred (discovering and listening to music) existed in its same state -- with the exact same artists and songs and everything -- in other people before it existed in me. Is there a word for realizing just how well you fit into an archetype?
