Last.fm tool: How eclectic is your musical style?

[echo]

91/100

[KevinG]

So after scoring a 95/100 on the original. I went and took the superelectic test and scored a disappointing 589/1000.

 

This is the crazy-assed code they told me to post

 

Take your top 50 artists. For each of these artists, collect the top 20 similar artists (where the artist itself is the #1 most similar). The resulting number of unique artists is your super-eclectic score. You can compute your own score at http://anthony.liekens.net/pub/scripts/las...pereclectic.php

 

My super-eclectic score is currently

 

589/1000

 

 

The most similar artists for my profile are Uncle Tupelo (13), Wilco (12), Whiskeytown (11), The Jayhawks (11), Son Volt (11), Ryan Adams (10), Billy Bragg & Wilco (9), M. Ward (8), Old 97's (8), Golden Smog (8)

 

What anyone else get on the supereclectic test.

As this number is larger, you have a more eclectic musical preference. People with scores over 700 have bragging rights. People whose score is below 400 should consider more musical styles!

 

The following are the artists with the most occurences in your list

I got 704 and and a 91 or something on the other. My last.fm is not very representative of what I listen to for a variety of reasons. My taste is probably less ecclectic than those scores suggest.
