In addition to what the person below me said, I suspect (again, suspect; I don't by any stretch of the imagination know this for sure) that compatibility level also depends on the frequency with which you listen to the artists you have in common. I have friends where they'll send me a song by some band, I'll listen to it, not like it and never listen to it again, yet it still shows up as an artist in common with them on their last.fm. It would be illogical for our compatibility levels to be high if I only listened to a one song by a few bands only one time.

It relates to the artists you both listen to; that's why at the bottom of the "compatibility bar", it says "Music you have in common includes ...". So if you have no artists in common, your compatibility will be low, etc.
