There is a guy named Pete Frame who has a series of drawings entitled "Family Tree", which have been published in many of the UK music magazines. Each is a depiction of the "Six degrees of separation" in many musical groups and single artists, containing an incredible amount of interesting information.

I like to follow artists, producers, engineers, etc as they wander through their careers. How about a thread where you take the last entry and add an album that has a link? For example, Deep Purple's "Come Taste the Band" could be followed by Billy Cobham's "Spectrum" (the connection is Tommy Bolin). I'll start with an album and a link, and see if it gathers steam and hope that, in six steps, it doesn't lead to Kevin Bacon:
Toad the Wet Sprocket, "Bread and Circus"
Works Progress Administration "Works Progress Administration" (link is Glenn Phillips)
