PhD candidate Nepusz Tamas mapped nearly four million relationships between the artists on Last.fm to turn them into an interactive map that's categorized by genre.
As one might expect, the rock zone (red) separates metal (gray) and pop (green). Reggae and ska (pink) exist in a little data peninsula equidistant from pop and rock. You can search for bands on the map to see where they fall, or enter any Last.fm user name to see where their favorite artists are on the map.

There is a 3D feel about this map.
I like the concept of, interactive.
