…TasteKid
TasteKid is a recommendation engine for music, movies and books. This whole blog is dedicated to this project, so I will keep this description short. Some information about this project, from Emmy’s point of view (Emmy is the girl-robot that stands as a mascot for this project, thus Emmy is the Taste Kid) can be found on the “Who are you” page.

I really recommend this site for anyone who has trouble finding any new music groups or is confused about which music to choose. Try it and you will get the best results.

Don't forget the link:

Personally, I use Grooveshark+Radio mode or What.cd's suggestions to find new music.

I found a ton of music off pandora internet radio.

You pick one song, then they play similar songs. Its pretty cool.

Thanks for the link, this looks useful! Last.fm is also good because it calculates the bands you'll like based on the music you listen to, instead of manually searching. You'll discover alot of unknown great bands through lastfm

meh.
