There is a facebook recommendation engine app that is does this called recomendo.

it recommends facebook likes for a user based on their taste and in addition.
you can designate friends as tastemakers in specific categories and that influences what is recommended to you.

Allmusic.com’s vast interlinked database is the best music discovery tool of all.
