I spent an embarrassingly long time messing around with this last night; but the most I ever got was 24 steps: Aphex Twin to The White Stripes, strangely enough.

Insane Clown Posse gets close to just about everybody via Cab Calloway.

What's a better pastime than doing Six Degrees of Black Sabbath while listening to Best Show Archives? Nothing, I tells ya. Nothing!
I can hear you judging me.

Wait a second.  While connecting Mozart and ICP, one of the links read as follows:

"that created the track Spaz Out (feat. Q-Plex, Mozart, Sleep Murda & Babyface Fensta) that was performed by Mozart"
"I'm riding the silence like John Cage up in this piece." -Tom Scharpling

My longest one so far is Circus Lupus to The Monks in 13 steps:

All of my efforts seem to involve Pigface as an essential link in the chain.

Every time I attempt to connect Jandek to someone it tries to use "various artists" as though it were a legitimate link.

John Denver to Cannibal Corpse.


I thought 20 steps at least.

Gary Puckett to ABBA 7 steps including this highly questionable one:


"that created the track Woman, Woman
which is covered by the
track Woman, Woman by [unknown]"
 
I'm done.

Strangely, it found a path from Stanley Holloway to Tom in eleven steps but couldn't find one to Jon Wurster.
