ITunes 8 – Genius Lists – Bizarre

I downloaded ITunes8 yesterday and installed it on my home machine.

ITunes8 has a new feature called ‘Genius Lists’, which if you select a song, and then select ‘Genius List’, it will search through your music library and set up a playlist that is supposedly like the song you pick.

I picked a song called Outside the Wall from Pink Floyd, The Wall Album.

Here’s what it chose for my Genius List:

Outside the Wall – Pink Floyd
Freewill              - Rush (ok, seems reasonable)
Saturday Nights All Right – Elton John (huh?)
Levon                  - Elton John (huh?)
El Condor Pasa     - Simon and Garfunkel (huh?)
Love in Vain         - Stones (seems reasonable)
<and a bunch of others songs that were just well, weird choices>

I’ll have to try it a bit more to see if it works any better.
