It lets people know who has a similar taste to themselves.  This is
useful because when someone mentions an artist they like, whom you
haven't heard before, you can get at least a vague idea of whether you
might also (I've been taking down names).  Granted it's vague but it
gives you more info to go on.  And as Vickie said, other artists are
rarely discussed in here.  But mainly it's fun.
