six degrees of black sabbath

[METALMAN]

this is cool

[Sousa]

It fails to find paths to noted (not really) country music parody musician Cledus T. Judd.

Awful app, just awful.

Did enjoy finding a path from Alice in Chains to Stryper, though.

Okay, it's addictive. I'm liking finding links between one-hit wonders. 4 Non Blondes to Eagle Eye Cherry, go!

Spin Doctors to Adam Sandler passes through Cookie Monster. That's cheating.

Lars Ulrich to Chipmunk in 7 steps.

Fuck Bong-Ra and Black Sabbath, this thing found a path from Britney Spears to Wolfchant. Jesus christ on a pogostick.

[METALMAN]

Only 16 steps separate Burzum from JLS!

[Crybaby Bunting]

Celtic Frost to Lady GaGa in 12 steps

[NobBe Nobbs]

It couldn't find Mr. Blobby.

Disappointing.

Or Susan Boyle! I was trying to go from her to Daft Punk.

Meanwhile, it takes 13 steps to get from the Police to Muse and even that goes through Matt Bellamy's dad. I love this thing!

Its all balls anyway, it took 14 steps to go from Nina Simone to Muse when we all know its 2.

1.Nina Simone did a cover of "Feeling Good"

2.As did Muse.

[METALMAN]

Mr Blobby works fine Be. I think you mispelt it though. try "Black Francis" next time.

[Redefine Sick]

Rammstein to Rick Astley in 14.

Acid Bath to Bjork in 10

KMFDM to The Bangles in 8.

Ministry to The Beatles in 6.

[Skummy]

10 steps to get from Thorr's Hammer to Fatman Scoop. 6 steps from Andrew WK to Russell Watson.

Its all balls anyway, it took 14 steps to go from Nina Simone to Muse when we all know its 2.

1.Nina Simone did a cover of "Feeling Good"

2.As did Muse.

It doesn't always pick the most efficient route, it picks the route with the strongest relationship. A collaboration is stronger than a cover, which is stronger than a sample.

Scroobius Pip to the White Stripes in eleven steps.

But if you tell it to search without going through De La Soul...

http://labs.echonest...d6-66d71ffd5376

it does it in four.

Can't find a path from Falco to Owl City

I BROKE IT!!!

However;

From Death by Stereo to Brian Blessed in 16 steps

Is rather fabulous.

From The Communards to Mest in 16 steps

I love this thing. It doesn't have Haircut 100 in its database though.
