Intersting... I don't think anyones tried to use anything but the "Similar Artist" connection; but AMG does have other neat connections (performed songs by, influenced by, followers of, etc.)

I reckoned that the task only says to get from one artist to another, I might as well make it there in a more interesting way.
EDIT: Oh crap, I never saw the part of the task that says "explore similar artists". Might have another go at this later.
