{last updated: 12/October/2011}

I'm building this list to eliminate tags that look like this:
Korean/Japanese/Chinese (Artist name in English)

Whether you tag your artists in Korean/Japanese/Chinese or English is up to you, it just seems that the census is that bracketed artist tags suck and should be wiped off of the face of Last.fm. Also they are the ultimate calling card of music pirates, oop @ u rn.

Why should I care about correcting my artist tags?
Last.fm, the site you signed up for, relies heavily on correct stats/tags/etc - it helps the site function (for example, the radio feature) (Why sign up for a music based site if your own library looks like a warzone?). Also because incorrect tags are kinda ugly looking, and eventually this wonderful shade of red from the correct your tags banner will flood your library, instead of the cute Asians you'd rather be seeing.

Be prepared for scrolling in the deeeep
So... let's get on with this (in no particular order):

…

first, make a list of your top-20 artists overall. then, for each of these artists, add the 8 most similar artists to your list. delete any duplicates, count up the number of entries on your list and this will give you some idea of how eclectic your listening habits are. a score of 9 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 160 represents an extremely varied one.

The idea is to go to the page of your number one artist, and follow the link of it's number one similar artist, then repeating that for this artist and so on, noting down each artist as you go. Do this until you've got to 50 artists (not including your number one). If you get any repeats, just go to the second similar artist or the nearest one that you haven't already had.
