Group artist matcher

Here are some examples how one can find good music at last.fm

This tool compares groups, see e.g.:

• 
• 

What can you do with this?

• find other users with similar interest (one example here)
• (re)discover music
• add more artists to your last.fm group connections
• this tool aggregates info, but you can use another tool instead aggregation: characteristic artists of a last.fm group
• ...

how-to

To get the below results: you can also use the tool group artist matcher

• it takes for each last.fm group their characteristic, unique artists

(this is another tool you can use AND it is NOT the group connections which the group leader sets) + compares which are the common artists

so: you just input last.fm groups
result is:
1. a list of bands (weighted over those groups, you might call it top charts)
2. at the same time I'm creating last.fm users (with those found bands in their library)

these last.fm users (which you can find on each page below) can help with listening those music genres

e.g. listen their neighbours or the friends which I'll collect over time

3. also you can explore some of the last.fm groups listed more

probably you'll like them at least from their discussions
