And Khar is right. I got either 117 or 123, I forget which.
Also: I fail to see what is so good about open mindedness. Narrow mindedness for the win.

I got 65/100 on my 'eclectic' score. It seems they're having server issues with the open mind index at the moment, but I've done it before and my score is in the mid-60s for it too if I recall correctly.
I have two issues with these though. The major one is that the 'similar artists' that guide the first score and the genre tags that guide the second are both put in by the users of the site, and seriously, they're useless. Anything and everything gets tagged with 'indie', including bands like the Beatles, and the Arcade Fire is listed as a similar artist for half the stuff I listen to just because they're 'indie darlings' and so many people listen to them as well as the bands that I do. (Radiohead comes up really often too as a similar artist for this reason.)
That being said...although a lot of stuff is lumped together in generic groups when it shouldn't be, I DON'T actually have a particularly varied taste in music, and I recognize it. Violins get me every time and if you chuck them into a pretty pop band, I'll probably enjoy it. And I don't think that knowing what I like best makes me a bad music fan. It's lame if you dismiss the possibility of liking anything outside of a certain genre and if you entirely stop exploring and listening to different things, but returning to a comfort zone most of the time? That's alright.
Inlander:
Khar, what are the differences between "Goth", "Gothic", and "Gothic Rock"?
Jackie Blue:
I just finished up to #600 on my List Of A Thousand Artists I Like. So far I've been naming them off the top of my head without even consulting my collection. It's getting tough, though.
What's really interesting is that the list isn't panning out. I mean, in the last 100 I just now remembered to put Gowns and No Age, who made two of my favorite albums this year.
