Stole this from someone else's journal...

The idea is to go to the page of your number one artist, and follow the link of it's number one similar artist, then repeating that for this artist and so on, noting down each artist as you go. Do this until you've got to 50 artists (not including your number one). If you get any repeats, just go to the second similar artist or the nearest one that you haven't already had.

That's enough for now...

Je viens de trouver l'idée de cette chaîne dans le post de MY1337cult.
Le principe est simple : à partir du tableau général des artistes les plus joués, il s'agit d'aller sur la page de celui ou celle qui arrive en première position et de là de cliquer sur la page du premier artiste semblable et ainsi de suite jusqu'à avoir une liste de 50 noms.
S'il y a des doublons, on passe au nom suivant sur la liste.

Pour moi cela donne (à partir du 17, je tombe sur des artistes que je ne connais pas, même de nom, à quelques exceptions près) :


01 - Amy Steinberg
02 - Ani DiFranco
03 - Dar Williams (connais pas)
04 - Indigo Girls (là ça tourne en rond, je dois sauter au troisième artiste)
05 - Shawn Colvin (connais pas)
06 - Sarah McLachlan
07 - Jewel
08 - Sheryl Crow
09 - Alanis Morissette
10 - The Cranberries
11 - Dolores O'Riordan
12 - Sinéad O'Connor
13 - Suzanne Vega
14 - Tori Amos
15 - Fiona Apple
16 - Regina Spektor
17 - Rilo Kiley
18 - The Shins
19 - Death Cab for Cutie
20 - Modest House
21 - Ugly Casanova
22 - Built to Spill
23 - Pavement
24 - Stephen Malkmus
25 - Silver Jews
26 - Smog
27 - Bill Callahan (aka Smog, ça compte comme un doublon, ou pas ? De toutes façons, je ne connais pas)
28 - Bonnie 'prince' Billie
29 - Will Oldham (aka Bonnie 'Prince' Billie)
30 - Songs: Ohia (ça a été dificile d'arriver à trouver autre chose que des alias de Will Oldman)
31 - Magnolia Electric Co.
32 - Jason Molina
33 - Appendix Out
34 - Alasdair Roberts
35 - James Yorkston and The Athletes
36 - King Creosote
37 - Adem
38 - Vetiver
39 - Devanda Banhart
40 - Joanna Newsom
41 - Cat Power (ah, si je connais !!)
42 - Iron & Wine
43 - Sufjan Stevens
44 - The Decemberists
45 - Neutral Milk Hotel
46 - of Montreal
47 - Architecture in Helsinki
48 - Broken Social Scene
49 - The Arcade Fire
50 - Interpol

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 (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
