Music recommendation website - "If you like "A", try "B"" - anyone remember it?

I'm trying to find a website that I remember from a while ago.

The basic concept was that you entered in a few bands or artists that you like, and based on those it would give you some ideas of different artists to try.

Any ideas? Ta

musicplasma.com is good.

There's another we're not allowed to mention because of some legal thing - I think it's legal in the states but not over here, or it might not even be technically legal over there. It's good though.

Edit: Vaultinglinky just mentioned it.. (the first one)

last.fm is the only one worth using. The one we can't mention is RUBBISH, but people don't seem to think that for some reason....
