tired of the same old music?
here's how to find new bands you will like.
1. make a list of about 20 bands that you like the most.
2. go to artistdirect.com, find a band on your list, and where it says "you might also like..." write those down.
3. repeat every band on your list.
4. all those bands you wrote down, tally how many times each one shows up.
5. rating:
5 times, you probably already have several of their cd's and you forgot to put it on the list.
4 times, you will probably like them.
3 times, worth trying.
2 or less, not worth trying.
6. the bands that rated 3 or better, buy their latest CD.
7. if you find one you like, now you can buy all their cd's.
there you have it! I did that, and some that rated a 4 I hated, some that rated 3 are my new favorite bands, so there is plenty of room for error. but once you find them, it was all worth the effort (which wasn't much really). now I got about 5 great new bands I never even heard of before. check it out!

Beatles, Beatles, Beatles! I never get tired of them. 0 -
Won't buy any more new music.... not a lot out there worth it, and nothing out there is worth supporting the RIAA
Edit - not that I download stuff off of the p2p networks or anthing... if I think music is worth listening to, I buy it. But I don't buy anything that isn't completely independant - the RIAA sucks.0 -

Now imagine having to program all that tripe.
Which is why we're Adult Alternative. You may hear Sarah McLachlan and Jane's Addiction in the same hour. And 40% of what we play is from unknown artists.0 -
you can get the music wherever you want. this will help you figure out what else you like that you never heard before. usually they are small time bands, that's why you never heard of them! like, Fu Manchu? or Thornley? never heard of them, but I like them almost as much as the big names I already got but listened to 49 million times already. 0 -
The Brits and Aussies are still making real good music, none of it gets any play though, so you have to look for it... 0 -
This young man returned home from Iraq last year... Going to school and makes music to relax.

I just found this site and have been listening to it all weekend. You type in the name of a band or song that you like and it builds a radio station around your choice. You can keep the songs or get rid of the ones you don't like and it adds more.
