Ok, R_burke didn't leave a 'like' for me to work with, so I'll recommend one for Pink Martini as well... Dephazz. Very eclectic electro-jazz, often with fun guest vocalists. Check out the song "The Mambo Craze" for a good example.

Good to know I'm not alone. 
I get the whole "If I like ___, you'd like ___"......
But what's up with the third band? I'm not getting that. I understand the 'likeness' of yours and mine, but......

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the third name is not necessarily anything related to the first 2. The third name is just something else you choose to throw out there. Preferably, for the third name you would want to throw out the name of some artist that you discovered and are interested in, but dont necessarily know too much else about them (or dont know many others that are quite like them). Because the point is for you to allow someone else to pop in and say, "Hey, if you like so and so, you should check out ..."

[Bob in St. Louis]

So, theoretically, there could be a post that says:
==================================
If you like AC/DC, then you'd like Metallica.

But I like Barbara Streisand.
==================================
I get the first two, but the point behind the third one is lost on me.
Although, it appears there are quite a few people that "get it", and not very many of us that don't.
Maybe those of us that don't, should STFU now.

[sts9fan]

The third is asking for comps

[Mitsuman]

If you like Rickie Lee Jones you also must like to blow your nose a lot.
