How open minded are your musical tastes

funny, not in any dictionary i own.  i thought open-minded meant "accepting of new ideas", not feeble-minded.
 
 i think the flaw with this "open-minded index" is that it confuses wide tastes with open-mindedness.  just because your music collection contains country, indie, glam rock, ska and electronica doesn't mean you can listen to the new panic at the disco album without preconceptions.

 What are the tags based on?  Your own tagging of music, or the general Last.FM tags?  Just curious...I don't use it enough (beyond just cataloging what I listen to) to know the bells and whistles.

go to the website quoted in the first post, and point it towards your last.fm account (i.e. you need to be a last.fm user to get a score).

It's done by the general last.fm tags. Because I know I haven't marked my Jens or my Peter Bjorn and John as Swedish.

and i fully concur with this statement as i'm as closed minded as all get out about stuff that i think is crap... i.e. mainstream country  
 
 obviously there are several ways to measure open-mindedness... one could be open minded if they are searching around for music released on net labels or into experimental/fringe music or think Jandek rules the roost.

 industrial is only #1 there because itunes loves to play skinny puppy every other song or so.

 I'm so curious what the other 17.2% of unmarked lastFM tags are?
 
 AND I'd like to point out:
 
 17.0% Electronic
 3.5%  Electronica
 3.0%  Dance
 2.2%  Disco
 
 Open. Minded.
 
 (I listen to WAY more disco music than that, it's just usually never on my iPod.)

I never realized how much of a rocker I am...

This does not surprise me in the least! But why are you hiding your genres? Do you have American Idol contestants on there or something? Playschool hits? Teenybopper girl bands? No...wait. That would be Smackie. Barbershop quartets? Polkas with the silver, blue and grey senior set?

 Shouldn't you get bonus points for a high number of other Last.FM tags?
 
 I'm surprised Psychedelic isn't higher on my list. Then again, only a limited number of my songs actually get picked up by Last.FM.
 
 I'm also surprised that Swedish didn't make an appearance but I suspect that's because a whole lot of the Swedish music I listen to is labled just slightly differently such as Scandanavian Dream.
