The recommendations are different from Spotify, it tends to recommend bands with similar sound and that are lesser known.
You can also track your favorite artists, and as you add more bands to your profile, it is able to generate custom recommendations.
For me it seems to be working better than Spotify, but any feedback is appreciated!

Seems to work, I added Duncan Mackay, Ars Nova & Triumvirat to the ELP page.
I suppose the down side is that I might be full of 5hit.
Maybe your site needs a algorithm that allows for agreements Thumbs Up or disagreements Thumbs Down with people's choices until a certain number is reached to make it official or not. Otherwise I could add any band to any other band whether they are similar or not.

Or is the site more of a "If you like (x) then you'll maybe like (y)?

Thanks for the feedback!
If you add an artist, it only shows up to you for a while. Only after it is aproved or other people suggest it it will be added to the oficial list

Approved by who and how?
How many other suggestions to make them stick?
Inquiring minds want to know. Wink

Prog Gnosis recommends similar artists too, however, this is way better. Great job.
