The influences does, but what you really need is an engine that recommends bands based on shared influences.

In other words, two bands in totally different genres who both call Led Zeppelin an influence

I get what you're saying but how does that help with small name or indie artists like Blank Banshee or Trevor Something for example?

What you're suggesting is definitely feasible with the larger acts that have been around and have been thoroughly psychoanalyzed.

Usually the bands themselves will tell you their influences. It's a very common interview question, and often appears in bios.
