Six (or more) Degrees of Kevin Bacon's rock band by the white bread cancer

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose two highly contrasting bands/musicians/composers. Go to allmusic.com, and start on the page of the first - explore "similar artists" until you reach the second. To prove your achievment, list all artists in the chain from the first to the second.

KANO to SUN RA.

I chose two groups that I think are both amazing, instead of trying to debase one term with the other, and avoiding a bad>>good or pop>>cult slide. The contrast was purely in style, or maybe just mode of expression. Both bands can pull the same pleasure for me, in different ways--two perfect plateaus with a larger gulf than I had reckoned between them. Because I like both endpoints, almost everything in between also appeals, and I think I'll make a mix out of it, tracklist following this order. Although really, why shouldn't funkadelic lead to miles??

And so--from swanky post-disco to the super free jazz, in 17 HOPS (the shortest path I could find after two+ hours at work on this)--

Kano to Klein and MBO to Telex to the Art of Noise to Eurythmics to Grace Jones to Amanda Lear to Donna Summer to The Commodores to Mandrill to Cymande to Sly & the Family Stone to Miles Davis to Weather Report to Jaco Pastorius to James Blood Ulmer to The Art Ensemble of Chicago to Sun Ra.

If you'd like a copy, message me. ITS GONNA BE FUCKEN SWEET!!
