After watching what last.fm selects for me for a few months, I think I’ve almost figured out the algorithm for my personal musical taste. If a band matches any of these criteria, I will probably like them:
- The lead singer has a very distinctive voice
- They are English (but not from London) and Indie
- The lead singer has a beard
- They were played on ‘The O.C.’
- Their song talks about California or NYC
- The music video has crappy animation
- The band’s name starts with “The”
- They use computer beats (i.e. from Super Mario)
- Their lead singer looks like he’s having a seizure when he sings
- Their lead singer wears geeky glasses frames
