The Obscure-o-meter
 
How obscure is your taste?

I'm only at 73% right now, I'm getting there.

Ohforgetit1's overall favorite bands and artists
are 45.9% obscure on average.

Blarobbarg 05-10-2012 07:27 AM

My tastes have changed so drastically since I got Last.FM a few years ago that I really can't rely on "overall." However, in the last 12 months my musical taste is 55.4% more obscure on average. And in the last 6 months, 62.2%! My overall is 40.8%. I am 21.8% more obscure than all the users of Last.FM!

This is fun. Haha.

Sneer 05-10-2012 07:43 AM

62.6% more obscure than other Lastfm users, 57.7% on average.

That was a fun 30-seconds.

Janszoon 05-10-2012 07:52 AM

72.5% here. I blame all my recent listening of the Beatles, Beach Boys and Rolling Stones for such a low number. :laughing:

Goofle 05-10-2012 08:05 AM

8.5% personally :(

33.5% obscure on average.

However, I jump to around 55% when I look at my last year/6 months. Only really started looking for obscurity in that time.

I don't have a lastFM account so I can't really gauge my collection.

But, SIANspheric is one of my favourite bands and they rate with an 89.4% obscurity rate hahaha (then again most Canadian bands rate around 80% obscurity or so it seems). Though I figure I'm closer to the 65% mark myself.

ladyislingering 05-10-2012 08:24 AM

53.2

then again most of my plays are due to girl groups that nobody's heard of and 70s glam groups.

The Batlord 05-10-2012 08:48 AM

I can't really use that accurately on myself. When I started using Last.FM I just started accepting any recommendation I saw site unseen. So 90% of the bands on my account I've never even heard of, let alone listened to.

Phantom Limb 05-10-2012 10:06 AM

52.5% overall.

Burning Down 05-10-2012 10:23 AM

3.0%. Either my taste is really lame, or it's due to the large volume of classical performers and orchestras that aren't even catalogued in the Last.FM database. If they were I'm sure my taste would be way more obscure.

My overall obscurity is at 55.1%.

I don't really care if what I listen to is obscure or not, though.

Thrown off by my early scrobbles for sure.
