Take the 50 top artists in your musical profile, and create a cloud of the similar artists that are not in your top 50. The result is a collection of highly recommended artists for your personal profile. You can generate your own cloud (in BBCode) at http://anthony.liekens.net/pub/scripts/last.fm/recommend.php

My recommendations are

A Perfect Circle AC/DC Aerosmith Apocalyptica Audioslave Beck Black Sabbath Children of Bodom Coldplay Cradle of Filth Deftones Disturbed Fear Factory Foo Fighters Franz Ferdinand Gorillaz Green Day Guns N' Roses HIM In Flames Interpol KoЯn Led Zeppelin Limp Bizkit Linkin Park Megadeth Muse New Order Nirvana Oasis Pantera Pink Floyd Queen Queens of the Stone Age R.E.M. Radiohead Rage Against the Machine Rob Zombie Slayer Slipknot The Beatles The Killers The Offspring The Smashing Pumpkins The Strokes The White Stripes Tool U2 Weezer Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Take your top 20 artists. For each of these artists, collect the top 5 similar artists. The resulting number of unique artists is your eclectic score. If the score is small (extreme = 5) your musical preferences are very limited, and if it is large (larger than 80, extreme = 100), then you have an eclectic musical preference. You can compute your own score at http://anthony.liekens.net/pub/scripts/last.fm/eclectic.php
