In this paper, we present a user study, recording the individual and shared preferences of actual groups of participants, resulting in a robust, standardized evaluation benchmark. Using this benchmarking dataset, that we share with the research community, we compare the respective performance of a wide range of music group recommendation techniques proposed in the
