Seen chez jessichaos, a taste-variance tester.

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.

I'm predicting a fairly high total, but I guess we'll see. For added interest, I'll italicize artists that I have at least one song by, underline artists that I have at least one album by, and bold artists that I have several albums by.
