I started using a (truly) free service called audioscrobbler.com to
find out some other prog bands I should be listening to, but there are
almost no prog artists in the database. It works kind of like an
automated amazon.com "Other people who bought this item also looked
at" type thing. From their website:
"In a nutshell, Audioscrobbler endeavours to be your personal music
advisor. It grows to know what music you like by monitoring what songs
you play on your computer. From this information you can discover
other users that share some or all of your taste in music. You can
also view data showing what your most-played artists are, and find out
who likes a particular artist the most. Audioscrobbler makes it easy
to find people with similar musical tastes, and allows you to browse
their profiles"
Basically it's a free winAmp plugin (no advertising, or spyware, no
catch. It's actually some British undergrad's comp-sci project) that
sends info on what you listen to to a server that feeds into the big
artist database and correlates it.
www.audioscrobbler.com (my userid there is isewell). It really
needs help in the prog music department. Apparently I'm the only one
who has ever listened to After Crying !!
(no, I'm not related to audioscrobbler.com in any way, I just want to
improve the prog quality of their database to find out other prog
artists I might enjoy)
