http://www.music-map.com/It's a little suspect (for example saying that The Darkness has more in common with Four Non-Blondes than with Queen), but it's fun to plug in band names and see what you get.

No relation to George Clinton, though.

Yeah, between both maps of yours, I've heard of maybe three of the bands listed. And Ennio Morricone.

But I'd posit that the more mainstream you get, the more accurate the results will be.

Well, its almost accurate for ZF and Swans - with the exception of maybe 2 or 3 bands/performers.

Doris Day is close to Gary Glitter and Ziggy Marley?

It indicates in the sidebar that it goes by what users like as opposed to what the music sounds like.
"The closer two artists are, the greater the probability people will like both artists."

@Lams: So, people who like Doris Day are likely to like Gary Glitter, Rosemary Clooney and Ziggy Marley? That's disturbing in and of itself.
