Cool little thing I found on someone's Last.fm page:

Last FM Open Mind Index

There's a cool pie chart too. (I like pictures)

For me:

I don't have enough plays, since I've only been using it for a month.

Sounds sweet.

Whoa, that pop chunk is massive. I should've been able to predict that...

What's your overall? Starving is closeminded.

Yeah, couldn't be bothered to copy and paste and then edit the lot to make it pretty.

This is pretty cool, but kind of biased as it doesn't do too well for people who are open minded within a genre - it works more on a first tier basis (i.e. rock, jazz, hip-hop, classical). That first tier problem isn't so bad with metal since the subgenres are clearly defined and people are only too happy to tag a band by its subgenre... but it's a problem with some types of rock since most people would tag QOTSA as rock rather than stoner rock, or RHCP as rock rather than funk rock etc. So my 17.29% in rock should be split up more IMO.

Also, last.fm doesn't record a lot of the jazz/classical I listen to, since it's in flac format, so the OMI would be higher still.
