Very cool. Mildly useful for visually correlating connections. I'm guessing they just troll through the amazon recommendation system and build their links that way. Good use of size and distance to indicate stats. I'm not sure what the colors mean, but would lkike to find out (genre, maybe?).
It appears that these are built from things people recommend to one another, or possibly the "People who bought FOO also bought BAR" things on Amazon.
I must note, after several years of observing college campuses, that people who listen to a lot of Floyd often listen to a lot of Zeppelin, too. I am not at all familiar with The Thrills, though, so I'm not sure about that.
In other words, it's a map of tastes rather than musical lineage.
