My last attempt at this may be found here: http://www.last.fm/user/haddiman/journal/2009/12/09/386130_assesment_of_musical_taste_variance%3A_a_product_of_insomnia%2C_procrastination%2C_and_temporary_insanity. I got 88/140.

Putting of schoolwork again, so I figured now is as good a time as ever to do one of these games that no one reads.

I figured my tastes must have changed since December 2009, so I'm doing this again to see how "diverse" my tastes are now in relation to back then.

First, make a list of your top-20 artists overall. Then, for each of these artists, add the 7 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 7 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 140 represents an extremely varied one.

1. Emilie Autumn
2. Tegan and Sara
3. Lady Gaga
4. Regina Spektor
5. My Chemical Romance
6. Epica
