I assumed that you all might be able to help with recommendations
analogous to the Amazon'ian, "Customers who liked this CD also bought/
looked at: xxx"
I'm not looking for a 'copied style' so much as the "sound" ... An
analogous response to: "If you like Ozzy Osbourne, you might also
like to check-out Metallica, Motley Crue, Black Sabbath, Velvet
Revolver, Guns N Roses, ... etc. ..."
Please let me know what you all think...
