Voice your opinion, for I am at a loss.

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 (as well as bands in your top 20), 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 20 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 160 represents an extremely eclectic one.
