Not a bad idea. I've created an account on last.fm and have been playing with it. So far, it's suggested that if I like Soundgarden, I might like Alice in Chains, and if I like Mitch Benn, I might like Jonathan Coulton. Which I'd already figured out on my own. However, if it can do that well on a limited data set, it might do very well indeed once I've given it a chance to really learn my musical tastes.
(And it's given me a new bit of software to play with! Hurrah!)
