4 Dec 2011, 15:25 by lovetali

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 going to use my stats from the last 3 months, cause otherwise it'll be basically the same as my first entry, haha ^^
