One of the cooler sites I've ever stumbled across.

silversun pickups and muse is 14 steps? they've toured together :/

I got 41 steps before the new rule; don't BS me like that. I beat the 40 steps.

If it starts at the time of his post, that's fine, that makes me feel nigh unbeatable on either leaderboard. But I definitely beat jinjonator :/.

We get it.

Points appear to be based on the strength of the connections, so long chains of 'yeah he was his sisters uncles brothers dog' get like 1 point

breaks the rules here on both, but i got curious

39 steps, intense point density. I think this would have the highest ratio of any two groups.

just waiting on DB to beat my 4 records now (dave grohl 26 steps, 41 steps, 1926.67 points, and 72579 point density (can't really do division 24 steps and 1900 is like 80, but 39 steps and 1800 which is way better, is only like 47 that way, so multiply the two numbers, get 40,000 vs 72000)

It doesn't recognize half the bands I give it.

There, 32 steps, 1436.67 points. Best I could do with the insanely limited amount of Dutch and Japanese artists/bands they have;

If we ignore his rules; this breaks 2000 points

http://labs.echonest.com/SixDegrees/...end=abney+park

just shy of 1000 points; only 5 steps.

It was more of a way to prevent us from just churning out the same 4 bands over and over but if you guys wanna turn this into a circle jerking points/whine about greatman fest then be my humble guest.

Well, so far, you're the only one doing just that.

I was only addressing that I chose to ignore his rule because I didn't feel like searching for bands that haven't already been used. Though this would've been a non-issue, if the damned site just had data on the bands I listen to

This is a bigger problem than it should be.

If it recognized more Asian artists I'd win.

It also didn't recognize the Alabama Shakes.

What.

Wait, this thing connects via cover songs? Well shit.

EVERYTHING I ENTER CONNECTS TO WEEZER! STOP HAVING FRIENDS, RIVERS YOU SON OF A BITCH!

Yeah, the music industry is a cluster. It connected System of a Down to the guy who used to host Blue's Clues in 5 steps (210 points). Goddammit.

Wu Tang Clan to the pillows in 9 steps. What the hell.

It's weird how short the paths can be.

[Porky]

It crashes whenever I type Best Coast

[Crystal Mech]

>can't find Foster The People

Seriously?

Also, I went from Tenacious D to Elvis Presley in four steps. How is this why

EDIT: Dropkick Murphys to Shaq in seven steps, oh man I'm crapping myself right now
