How Varied Is Your Music Taste?
First, make a list of your top-20 artists overall (I skipped over Hans Zimmer cause he's not really a band). 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 went ahead an omitted any repeats
