Audioscrobbler and similar websites

Just recently I started putting my bookmarks up on del.icio.us, mainly because I access the internet from alot of different computers and I finally got sick of trying to use a bookmark that was not on the particular computer I was using at the time. While I was using it I noticed that neat feature where you can find other people who bookmarked the same pages as you, and then you can use them to find new interesting pages. I quickly became addicted to this feature and now I am searching for a similar function that works with music rather than bookmarks.

Audiogalaxy did this, it would track your songs and link you to other artists that were in the collections of people who had the same mp3s as you did. So I am searching for a site that works like delicious or audiogalaxy, hell even soulseek has a little recomendation function that is similar.

I stumbled upon this Audioscrobbler site located at www.last.fm, and it seems to work decently but it looks like there is a lack of data for EDM songs, some of the names one would expect to be recomended to you aren't there, and sometimes you get recomended stuff that isnt remotely related to the artist you are interested in. So I figured there might be another site like this that some of you guys are part of, or maybe some similar network thing that isnt necessarily a website but does something similar with song data.

So are there any other "people who also like _, enjoy _ as well" type of services that you guys use? I find these type of things much easier than rummaging through articles and reveiws and forums in search of recomendations and would really like to find one that lotsa EDM fans are using.
