Gnoosic.com band recommender

This is a pretty cool site that is similar to the 20 questions game that I posted a few days ago, in that it is an artificial intelligence that learns as you use it.

You enter 3 names of bands that you like, and based on past responses it has received, it recommends new bands that you may or may not have heard of. You then tell the site if you like or dislike that band, or if you’ve never heard them before which teaches it even more.

It worked pretty well for me, but it would be cool if you could enter a list of your favorite bands and save them as a profile or something on the site for future use. I can’t help but think you would get better and more varied results if you could list more than 3 bands, but maybe that is a limitation of his algorithm or something.

Try out Gnoosic.com
