* Degrees of seperation

Found this great website where you enter 2 band/artist names and it works out the connections between them.

Literally minutes of fun!

Any interesting ones you've found?

Napalm Death are well connected. The highest score I've had so far is 12.

I got 13 steps between peven everett and the So Solid Crew, I went for really obscure but it didnt recognise Blazing Squad!

I think the trick is to have two very diverse genres...

Best I could manage was 11 steps between Billy Ray Cyrus and The Prodigy.

6 Degrees: Billy Ray Cyrus to The Prodigy

Wonder how they create the path score?

The above one scored 200, while my Public Enemy to Hayseed Dixie path has only 4 steps but scored 443.

Ooh...Vangelis to Joy Division in 14 steps!

6 Degrees: Vangelis to Joy Division


I'm a sucker for timewasting rubbish like this.

Apparently Enya to Megadeth is just 5 steps, but has a path score of 620. Anyone beat that?

6 Degrees: Enya to Megadeth

15 Steps A-ha to Katy Perry

Think I've just set a new record.

22 Steps from Asia to Disturbed

Thats me done for this afternoon!

16 steps between Cannibal Corpse and JLS

Only 11 steps between Cradle of Filth and Steps.

25 Steps. Laura Marling to Foo Fighters.

There's only 5 steps between Kylie Minogue and Black Sabbath

Always thought there was something vaguely Satanic about her.

Or maybe that was just Stock, Aitken & Waterman?

Only 7 steps from Charlotte Church to Killing Joke!

Holy crap! Only 6 steps from Sepultura to Girls Aloud!!!

Another personal best:

23 Steps from SuperGRASS to LAWNMOWER Deth

There's some mad close links. Cradle of Filth and Vanessa Paradis aren't that far apart either!

Good job on the 23 steps.

I just got a 0 steps. There is no official link between The Meteors and Liberace.

I suspect The Meteors will be relieved
