Allmusic is a great website. Because it shows you who's in what bands. And you can see what other bands they were in. Same with the producers, labels and other stuff. So what about providing music recommendations based on questions like:
"What is it about this song, which you already like, that makes it so great?"
It's the songwriting.
"OK so the guy in the band who wrote a bunch of songs for this other band. And one of their albums was put out by the same record label as the album that your original favourite song came out on."
Oh wow, this album is amazing!
Or it could generate some interesting mismatches.
This is a process I've been meaning to do manually. But it would be so nice to have like a "music cloud" of recommendations that mapped the connections between the people who contributed the things that make your favourite music special to you.
