Ever heard of 'TasteKid'? No? You can find 'TasteKid' at: http://www.tastekid.com/. Write down some (at least one) of your favorite bands and/or movies and/or books in the textbox and hit the 'suggest' button and 'TasteKid' will try to suggest other bands, movies and/or books that you might just like.

For example when I entered 2 great bands:'evanescence, nightwish' (without the ') and then hit the 'suggest' button it will suggest other bands like: 'within tempation, after forever, and around 40 other bands). It seems to work great for suggesting bands.

If you click on the one of the suggested band names, it will automaticly do a 'suggest' for that band, hover with you mouse over the question mark next to the suggested band name and it will show a youtube movie of that band and sometimes some information it found on wikipedia.

Just try it, you can only discover other great bands, no?
