I never use RYM for recommendations really. I just use it to catalog my collection, rate stuff, keep track of how many times I've played new acquisitions, and basically keep a running record of what I play. I "bump" every album I listen to so the most recent stuff listed is what I've most recently listened to (exceptions being when I remeraber I own something and need to add it...but I'm not actually listening to it).
I think last.fm suggestions are pretty good, but I don't use them all that often either. I have gotten some great ones over the years though. A lot of times I already know of the artists so I ignore them until I'm ready to explore them.
