So I put in Silver Jews, and expected to get probably the #1 result "Purple Mountains" which is also David Berman, and then pavement and some Malkmus as recommends. So I don't know how well that works.
Coheed and Cambria seemed fairly good. I was expecting Thursday as a top result and got it.
I put in "Mom Jeans" and a totally very different sounding band but on the same label who tour together and got "Just Friends". That's an unexpectedly nice connection.
- willbes 4y agoYeah, Last.fm is really good for playing a playlist from a single scene. It's not necessarily a single genre, just bands who tour together, or guest on each other's tracks. They used to go pretty deep too, like bringing in bands from 20 years before that influenced the current one. It's not necessarily the greatest for bands that are selling out stadiums as there's too much interference from Clear Channel, but it's great for small to midsize scenes which tend to have shows from 100-1000, since those tend to be more defined.
- iamacyborg 4y agoYou have to now wonder how much of last.fm has since become tainted by faulty recommendations coming via Spotify and co though.
