The Spotify related artist game

As users of Spotify will know that when you type in the name of an artist once they come up you get the option of related artists, this tends to be contemporaries of the artist though this throws up some weird choices. For example when you pick the World Music influenced Red Box who had 2 sizable top ten hits (Lean on Me and For America) in the mid 1980's you will find in selection of the frothy Bucks Fizz. ABBA have a much more varied, a couple of fellow Swedish acts whose careers came after their more famous compartiots and again those who were around the same time. You can play a game of making a chain by a going through different artists. Down below is an example using ABBA as an start.

ABBA

Blondie

The Pretenders

Spandau Ballet

The Human League

Banarma

Kim Wilde

Now that is a rather small chain but you get the idea. So if you have a day to spare and have Spotify there is something for you to do.
