Your friend's older brother has since been replaced by the web. There's more great music that you've never heard out there than ever before, but the veritable flood of material from artists of all stripes has made finding those choice nuggets of bliss that much harder. Several websites offer a reprieve from this overabundance of noise with a collaborative filtering process best described as "taste matching." Sites such as Pandora, iLike, Last.fm and Qloud recommend artists you might enjoy by comparing your favorite bands with those of other users.
