I usually go with that. But most of the time here "similar artists" are just the more popular already known bands I have heard. Unless theres another way to do it?

Usually just downloading a compilation from a torrent will do the trick. Nothing lately though

you can dismiss recommendations

they used to have an option to show more or less obscure artists but they got rid of it

Give allmusic.com a try. They're great for finding artists similar to the ones you're listening and their reviews (although not always dead-on) are a good way of generalizing popular opinion about a specific album

Damnit. That would have been perfect.

For example anytime I head anyone slight progressive/psychedelic there similar artists seem to include Rush, Zeppelin, Floyd, and all the other obvious choices.

Also, you can go to a public library and go through the CD's they have, and rip them all onto your computer. Just take the sh*t you've never heard of, it could be fun.

Haha i do that already. Found some of my favorite bands that way. I think I have taken out everything they have by now though.

If there's a relatively high profile artist you really like, try to find a message board dedicated to them. Usually there will be an "Other Artists" section with plenty of great finds.

I like going to metacritic and seeing what albums are getting a lotta buzz. Its cool cause they compile reviews from all genre's and some of it isn't even American music. I've never been to last.fm or pandora but those sound really sweet too.

Very good strategy. I used to hate The Smiths, never understood the hype. I downloaded The Queen is dead one day though just for kicks then it all kind of clicked, and I'm really into them right now.
