Kosha Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 So not too long ago, WhoSampled made a Six Degrees of Seperation game. The point is that it links different artists through samples, covers, and collaborations. The highest score I've gotten in the game is Godspeed You! Bad Emperor to Gorillaz.

Faust Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Argh this damn thing cheats. Half of the bands I put in it doesn't recognise! I bet it knows that all artists in its database are only six degrees at most from all others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osrik Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 It seems to average about 3 with most that i try. The best i got was Super Furry Animals to Emitt Rhodes , though a few others also got to 5 with Emitt Rhodes. Got to 6 by picking a random artist with very frew connections to go with Emitt: http://www.whosampled.com/six-degrees/search/?artist1=Emitt+Rhodes&artist2=DINOSAURUS+REX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilBear Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I had to really dig, but I beat it. Bad religion has 4 degrees of separation with Christian rock band MercyMe. But Johnny Rebel has no connections to NWA! Which is not surprising actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazerMaster5 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The highest I got to is 4 degrees. Any metal band is tied by a Metallica cover, and metal bands are tied to vaporwave through producers whose projects are sampled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samples used in vaporwave connect to mainstream artists, and a chain of collaborations and producers lead to metal. http://www.whosampled.com/six-degrees/search/?artist1=Napalm+Death&artist2=Luxury+Elite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
