Tubalr is a music video playing service for YouTube. Type in a band name and click "only" or "similar" and it will play a stream of music videos only from that artist or from a selection of similar artists. Creating an account will allow for marking videos as favorites and enable saving of playlists. Also available are genre-based playlists rather than using artists as seeds. Tubalr does not use Pandora-like music DNA information to determine similar artists. It seems to use the descriptive information for each video, so you might find some surprises in your playlists.
