Six Degrees of Black Sabbath: Pantera to They Might Be Giants in 10 steps
« on: May 21, 2010, 05:00:18 AM »
I found this awesome tool on the Musicbrainz blog { http://blog.musicbrainz.org/ }:

I thought fellow FOTs might have some fun with this tool. The musicbrainz database is vast, so it should come up with pretty strange stuff!

I'm really surprised that it takes 14 steps to get from Tommy Hall to Syd Barrett. Just as a comparison, Spike Jones to Burzum is 15.

I forwarded this to some friends and one guy tied or topped my 20 with these:

Eric Davidson to Lobo - 21 steps
GG Allin to CW McCall - 20 steps
Jackie Gleason to GG Allin - 20 steps
The Bellamy Brothers to Pungent Stench - 21 steps
